Summary
The efficacy of NIMV to treat HARF has been widely demonstrated. However, in most of the studies performed in ICUs and in another facilities the mean age of the patients is usually less than 70 years. A multicentric, randomized-controlled trial conduced in a group of "ELDERLY" patients with the mean age higher than 76 years, to compare the use of NIMV with Standard Medical Treatment (SMT) in the treatment of an episode of Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure.
