Abstract
Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) refers to the delivery of mechanical respiratory support without the use of endotraqueal intubation. It has been proposed as a valuable alternative to invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) in selected children with acute respiratory failure (ARF). The pressures usually employed in NPPV are lower than those in MV, but in some cases high pressures are needed.
