Abstract: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is often used as an initial therapy, but some patients fail NIV and require invasive ventilation, which can lead to worse outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the factors that predict conversion from NIV to invasive ventilation in ARDS patients at a tertiary care hospital in East Godavari, Andhra Pradesh. Data from 122 patients were analyzed, with results showing that age, APACHE II scores, PaO2/FiO2 ratios, and comorbidities were significant predictors of NIV failure. Early identification of these predictors can improve outcomes by allowing timely interventions.
