Noninvasive ventilation with helium–oxygen mixture in hypercapnic COPD exacerbation: aggregate meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

When used as a driving gas during NIV in hypercapnic COPD exacerbation, a helium–oxygen (He/O(2)) mixture reduces the work of breathing and gas trapping. The potential for He/O(2) to reduce the rate of NIV failure leading to intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation has been evaluated in severa...
