Intensive Care Med 2008; 34: 2248-2255. This is an interesting physiological study demonstrating that NRS administered by nasal or facial mask improves the breathing pattern and gas exchange, and unloads respiratory muscles in children with hypercapnic ARF. Moreover, auto-triggering has been identified as the main cause of patient-ventilator asynchrony.

Intensive Care Med 2009; 35: 1623-1627. This is a nonrandomized prospective pilot study designed to investigate the effects of NRS after extubation in children. NRS delivered via a turbine flow generator reduced dyspnea score and inspiratory muscle effort.

Diagnosis of pneumonia, high PRISM score at admission and slow respiratory rate decrease after 1 h of noninvasive treatment were independent risk factors for NRS failure.

These positive effects were enhanced when heliox was used in place of an air-oxygen mixture.
