Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation
#criticalCare #ventilation #ICUequipment #oxygenation #waveforms
Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is a valuable technique to support oxygenation and ventilation in people with respiratory failure to potentially avoid intubation. This #OnePager reviews when to (and when not to) use NIPPV, as well as modes (CPAP, BiPAP/BiLevel, & AVAPS) and interfaces (nasal, partial face, full face, & helmet).
