1.Are currently or previously on mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure
2.Are considered fit for extubation (defined as hemodynamic stability without the need for vasopressor support and a heart rate less than 110 beats per minute (bpm), respiratory rate less than 30 per minutes, and a Glasgow coma scale of E4VtM6), or has been extubated already
3.Are indicated for NIV with >=1 of the risk factors for reintubation, including: chronic heart failure, COPD initially intubated because of an episode of acute hypercapnic respiratory failure, age >65, more than one consecutive failure of weaning trial before extubation, PaCO2 >45 mmHg (6 kPa) after extubation, weak cough
4.Expected to require NIV for >=2 days
5.Able to give consent to the study by him/herself.
