Description
Mohamad Abu Zaher, Osman El Jundi, and Hanan Arain review breathing support in cancer patients in this 2025 paper. Acute respiratory failure is a top reason cancer patients land in intensive care unexpectedly, and non-invasive ventilation, air support without a breathing tube, once looked clearly better than plain oxygen.
Whether that edge survives beside modern high flow nasal oxygen was doubtful, so the team ran a structured review across major databases to August 2025. Twenty-six studies qualified. Rather than pooling numbers, they compared studies qualitatively, focusing on when the support fails and forces intubation, on hospital deaths, and on what predicts failure, to guide bedside choices.
