Aims:: The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of elderly residents who are dying in nursing homes as well as their caregivers toward death in an Iranian context.
Purpose: Prior non invasive ventilation (NIV) is associated with an increased mortality in patients with haematological malignancies and acute respiratory failure treated by invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). We have assessed whether NIV failure is an independent prognostic factor for hospital discharge in a general cancer population treated by IMV.
Methods: 106 patients with solid tumors and 58 patients with haematological malignancies were eligible for this retrospective study; 41 were treated by NIV before IMV.
