Ventilatory Modes and Settings During Noninvasive Ventilation

  • Chapter
Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation

Abstract

Since the early 1980s, when noninvasive ventilation (NIV) showed efficacy in the management of some forms of respiratory failure [1–3], the number of patients receiving this treatment both in the acute setting and at home has steadily increased. This is explained by a growing number of indications in which the effectiveness of NIV has been proven, and also by major technological advances that led to the availability of high-performance portable ventilators and the development of a technical support infrastructure [4]. In the particular case of chronic respiratory failure patients, NIV applications were extended from conventional indications in chest wall and neuromuscular diseases to other more frequent conditions such as obesity hypoventilation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), although, in the latter, the role of NIV is still controversial [5–7]
