The BTS circulated a final draft of the joint BTS/ICS Guideline for the Ventilatory Management of Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure in adults and formally invited comments from the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.  This document had been prepared by a sub-committee of the BTS Standards of Care Committee (SOCC) in line with the Society’s policy for Guideline production (available on their website at: https://www.brit-thoracic.org.uk/guidelines-and-quality-standards/).

The draft guideline was also available to download from: https://www.brit-thoracic.org.uk/guidelines-and-quality-standards/ventilatory-management-of-acute-hypercapnic-respiratory-failure-guideline/
