Not my idea really..  It might not be right fit for everyone but perhaps for some?

Non-invasive respiratory support
If the patient remains hypoxaemic on high flow oxygen (15 l/min) continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) may be used. The technique improves oxygenation by recruiting underventilated alveoli and so is most successful in clinical situations where alveoli are readily recruited, such as acute pulmonary oedema and postoperative atelectasis. [b]It is also helpful in immunocompromised patients with pneumonia. As intubation is avoided the risks of nosocomial pneumonia are reduced[/b].

This is not a study from NIH.  From the article you cited:

[b]Maire P Shelly is consultant in anaesthesia and intensive care and Peter Nightingale is director of intensive care, Withington Hospital, Mancheste[/b]r.

NIH just runs the search service.

The US desperately needs to start teaching in schools  how to read the scientific literature and figure out what’s trustworthy and what’s not.
(Also, start teaching  civics in schools again, restoring what Reagan rolled back.  But that’s a different story.)[/quote]
