Am J Respir Crit Care Med 1995, 151:1799-1806. Although a small study population, this represents one of the first confirmatory studies regarding noninvasive ventilation in COPD after the initial study of Brochard et al. (N Engl J Med 1992, 323:1523-1530). As such, it is an excellent methodologic study, ie, randomized, prospective study. The results indicate that intubation and mechanical ventilation are reduced with noninvasive ventilation.
