Gruppo A: pazienti sottoposti a ventilazione meccanica non invasiva associata alla terapia<br />

medica convenzionale.<br />

Gruppo B: pazienti sottoposti alla sola terapia medica convenzionale.<br />

al. 29 (figura 5.7). Dai risultati di questi due studi è<br />

possibile concludere che il trattamento in fase acuta<br />

con VMNI in aggiunta alla terapia medica convenzionale<br />

è in grado di influenzare positivamente<br />

la prognosi dei pazienti sopravvissuti nei mesi successivi<br />

alla dimissione e fino ad almeno 1 anno.<br />
