Abstract
Mechanical ventilation has become an essential treatment option for patients with respiratory failure. Positive pressure mechanical ventilation is mostly performed through tubes placed into endotracheal intubation or cannulas inserted into the tracheostomy. However, it is well known that this method is associated with severe side effects. Undoubtedly, one way to prevent these complications is to avoid the use of these tubes and cannulas. For this reason, noninvasive ventilation, in which masks are used as the main interface, has found wide clinical applications. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is increasingly used in the intensive care units. It plays an important role in the management of critically ill patients with respiratory failure who are hospitalized in intensive care units. The use of these two procedures together is extremely important in terms of guiding the diagnosis and treatment of the disease in the patients at high risk for infection.
