  • First Online:
Pulmonary Function Measurement in Noninvasive Ventilatory Support

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to describe the following ventilatory modes: neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA), pressure support ventilation, bi-PAP mode, and continuous positive airway pressure.

The aim is to analyze their main features, focusing on their indications, contraindications, and fields of application.
