The small or large intestine is indicative of pneumatosis intestinalis. This situation refers to a necrotizing enterocolitis and can be considered as an indication for urgent surgery. Conservative management is recommended initially when these criteria are absent [50].

Echanical ventilation must be considered early to ensure the highest chance of survival for neutropenic patients with hypoxemic ARF. Readers must bear in mind that trials that evaluated NIV at a time where mechanical ventilation was associated with 80-90 mortality are not relevant anymore.Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and neutropenia recoveryAcute respiratory failure that occurs 3 un
