Noninvasive Ventilation as a Weaning Strategy in Subjects with Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Directed cough maneuvers are often included in physiotherapy management aimed at preventing postoperative pulmonary complications after open heart surgery, but there is little scientific evidence of the effectiveness of directed cough maneuvers. METHODS:We conducted a randomized intra-subject crossover tria...
