About 70 years have passed since the occurrence of these earthquakes, which is about half the average recurrence interval of a Nankai Trough earthquake; hence, it is now an appropriate time to implement measures against the next great earthquake.
The objective of this systematic review was to assess the current evidence regarding the use of NIV for patients with blunt thoracic trauma, to identify the most appropriate time to implement NIV and the safety of its use.
