Abstract

Noninvasive ventilation uses masks for management of respiratory failure. Its challenges are (1) minimizing leakage around the mask with a tight fit, preventing an increase in the ventilator’s tidal volume; (2) using a comfortable interface that does not cause side effects; and (3) providing compensation for leakage with increased volume or pressure. The aim of successful NIV is to maximize ventilation and improve patient-ventilator synchrony (Elliott, Eur Respir J, 23:7–8, 2004).
