Abstract

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a type of ventilation that uses a noninvasive airway interface. and has two major modes of supplying support: bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Since, in CPAP, pressure is constant it does not generate flow and does not increase volume, and cannot be considered a form of NIV in a strict sense (Torres et al., Cochrane Database Syst Rev (9):CD010355, 2015).

NIV will provide respiratory, neurological, muscular, and cardiovascular effects, depending on the pathophysiology of the respiratory failure.
