In the XXI century, the incredible gigantic scientific-technological progress all around the world, and specially in the medical sciences, it has characterized an astonishing possibility to increase the quality of the whole medical attention, so we can improve manners of life support. The technological development is occasionally not well applied to the sick people who need that equipment, that in the last decade human mankind has been emerging. So it will be important to underline the increasing use of the noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) as a procedure of vital support for the maintenance of a vital function, such as breathing.
Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) is a vital support measure,(1) it represents a variety of ventilatory support that allows to increase alveolar ventilation, keeping intact the airways, not requiring endotracheal intubation or tracheotomy, so avoiding several complications such as invasive mechanical ventilation.
It is understood as a vital support treatment (VST): all medical intervention, technique, procedure or medication that it is administered to a patient to retard the moment of the death, be or not this treatment directed toward the base illness or the causal biological process.
