Non-invasive Ventilation (NIV)

Physiology

Noninvasive Ventilation

	less invasive ventilatory methods
	is frequently applied to patients with
	- neuromuscular disorder
	- COPD with acute respiratory failure
	- chronic respiratory failure

Mechanism for NIV

	Decrease respiratory work of breathing
	Increase CO₂ washout
	Increase alveolar ventilation
	Decrease hypoxaemia

Noninvasive ventilation refers to positive-pressure mechanical ventilation using a facial or nasal mask, compressor push air into the lung via an interface, which may avoid or delay the need for endotracheal intubation. Several interfaces can be used noninvasively Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP), Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV), and Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV).
