Non-invasive ventilation in a pregnancy with severe pneumonia

Introduction: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is not proven to be effective in treating respiratory failure in severe pneumonia. However, some clinicians nevertheless attempt NIV to indirectly deliver adequate oxygenation and avoid unnecessary endotracheal intubation. Case presentation: In this ar...
