Abstract
Acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19 pneumonia often requires a comprehensive approach that includes non-pharmacological strategies such as non-invasive support (including positive pressure modes, high flow therapy or awake proning) in addition to oxygen therapy, with the primary goal of avoiding endotracheal intubation. Clinical issues such as determining the optimal time to initiate non-invasive support, choosing the most appropriate modality (based not only on the acute clinical picture but also on comorbidities), establishing criteria for recognition of treatment failure and strategies to follow in this setting (including palliative care), or implementing de-escalation procedures when improvement occurs are of paramount importance in the ongoing management of severe COVID-19 cases. Organizational issues, such as the most appropriate setting for management and monitoring of the severe COVID-19 patient or protective measures to prevent virus spread to healthcare workers in the presence of aerosol-generating procedures, should also be considered. While many early clinical guidelines during the pandemic were based on previous experience with acute respiratory distress syndrome, the landscape has evolved since then. Today, we have a wealth of high-quality studies that support evidence-based recommendations to address these complex issues. This document, the result of a collaborative effort between four leading scientific societies (SEDAR, SEMES, SEMICYUC, SEPAR), draws on the experience of 25 experts in the field to synthesize knowledge to address pertinent clinical questions and refine the approach to patient care in the face of the challenges posed by severe COVID-19 infection.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a major issue in patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Standard oxygen therapy is the first-line therapy for ARF in the less severe cases. However, respiratory supports may be delivered in more severe clinical condition. In cases with life-threatening ARF, invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) will be required. Noninvasive strategies such as high-flow nasal therapy (HFNT) or noninvasive ventilation (NIV) by either face mask or helmet might cover the gap between standard oxygen and IMV. The objective of all the supporting measures for ARF is to gain time for the antimicrobial treatment to cure the pneumonia. There is uncertainty regarding which patients with severe CAP are most likely to benefit from each noninvasive support strategy. HFNT may be the first-line approach in the majority of patients. While NIV may be relatively contraindicated in patients with excessive secretions, facial hair/structure resulting in air leaks or poor compliance, NIV may be preferable in those with increased work of breathing, respiratory muscle fatigue, and congestive heart failure, in which the positive pressure of NIV may positively impact hemodynamics. A trial of NIV might be considered for select patients with hypoxemic ARF if there are no contraindications, with close monitoring by an experienced clinical team who can intubate patients promptly if they deteriorate. In such cases, individual clinician judgement is key to choose NIV, interface, and settings. Due to the paucity of studies addressing IMV in this population, the protective mechanical ventilation strategies recommended by guidelines for acute respiratory distress syndrome can be reasonably applied in patients with severe CAP.

Abstract
In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), and neuromuscular junction disorders, three mechanisms may lead, singly or together, to respiratory emergencies and increase the disease burden and mortality: (i) reduced strength of diaphragm and accessory muscles; (ii) oropharyngeal dysfunction with possible aspiration of saliva/bronchial secretions/drink/food; and (iii) inefficient cough due to weakness of abdominal muscles. Breathing deficits may occur at onset or more often along the chronic course of the disease. Symptoms and signs are dyspnea on minor exertion, orthopnea, nocturnal awakenings, excessive daytime sleepiness, fatigue, morning headache, poor concentration, and difficulty in clearing bronchial secretions. The "20/30/40 rule" has been proposed to early identify GBS patients at risk for respiratory failure. The mechanical in-exsufflator is a device that assists ALS patients in clearing bronchial secretions. Noninvasive ventilation is a safe and helpful support, especially in ALS, but has some contraindications. Myasthenic crisis is a clinical challenge and is associated with substantial morbidity including prolonged mechanical ventilation and 5%-12% mortality. Emergency room physicians and consultant pulmonologists and neurologists must know such respiratory risks, be able to recognize early signs, and treat properly.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We review the evidence on the use of noninvasive respiratory supports (noninvasive ventilation and high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy) in patients with acute respiratory failure because of severe community-acquired pneumonia. RECENT FINDINGS Noninvasive ventilation is strongly advised for the treatment of hypercapnic respiratory failure and recent evidence justifies its use in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure when delivered by helmet. Indeed, such interface allows alveolar recruitment by providing high level of positive end-expiratory pressure, which improves hypoxemia. On the other hand, high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy is effective in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure and some articles support its use in patients with hypercapnia. However, early identification of noninvasive respiratory supports treatment failure is crucial to prevent delayed orotracheal intubation and protective invasive mechanical ventilation. SUMMARY Noninvasive ventilation is the first-line therapy in patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure because of pneumonia. Although an increasing amount of evidence investigated the application of noninvasive respiratory support to hypoxemic respiratory failure, the optimal ventilatory strategy in this setting is uncertain. Noninvasive mechanical ventilation delivered by helmet and high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy appear as promising tools but their role needs to be confirmed by future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to determine the therapeutic efficacy of bi-level continuous positive airway pressure (BIPAP) intervention in patients with type II respiratory failure due to acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS This review will only include randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The search strategy will be applied to 4 Chinese databases: China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (SinoMed); and 5 foreign literature databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Springer, EBSCO, and Web of Science. RCTs published from inception to October 2020 will be included. The 2 researchers will independently screen and extract the data and assess quality. The main results obtained through blood gas analysis and equipment observation, heterogeneity assessment, sensitivity analysis, funnel chart synthesis, data synthesis, and grouping analysis will be carried out using Review Manager 5.4 software. The trial sequential analysis will be completed using TSA v0.9 developed by the CTU at the Copenhagen Clinical Trial Center. RESULTS In the current meta-analysis, we will provide more practical and targeted results for the therapeutic efficacy of BIPAP in patients with type II respiratory failure due to acute exacerbation of COPD. CONCLUSION This study will provide new evidence for the therapeutic efficacy of BIPAP in patients with type II respiratory failure due to acute exacerbation of COPD.
