What is NIV |
Used in spontaneously breathing patients. Form of ventilatory support used in acute respiratory failure, COPD, sleep apnoea. Types: - continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) - bi-level intermittent positive airway pressure (BI-PAP) |
|
|
Bi-PAP |
Delivers air with the added oxygen, via a face mask by positive pressure. It delivers air pressure depending on inspiration (IPAP-inspiratory positive airway pressure) and expiration (EPAP-expiratory positive airway pressure). 2 different levels of pressure: IPAP helps with ventilation, EPAP help with exhaling gas. O2 can be added too |
|
|
CPAP |
Supply constant positive pressure throughout inspiration and expiration. If delivered with oxygen, it can allow a higher degree of inspired o2 compared to other masks |
|
|
COPD |

It includes: emphysema – damage to the air sacs in the lungs. chronic bronchitis – long-term inflammation of the Airways.
