    Objective: Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) decreases the incidence of endotracheal intubation and complications related to the endotracheal intubation in acute respiratory failure. However, there is some concern that it can increase mortality due to the delay of endotracheal intubation. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of NIMV in acute pulmonary edema (APE) and postoperative respiratory failure (PORF) patients. Materials and Methods: Records of 100 NIMV assisted patients suffering from APE and PORF were evaluated, retrospectively, for a period from Jan 01, 2011 to Dec 15, 2012. The patients were divided into two groups as APE (group 1
