Introduction Research in the field of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has contributed to the
development of new NIV interfaces. However, interface tolerance plays a crucial role in …

Te interface is the defining element of non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Nowadays different
types of interfaces, which differ in terms of shape, mechanical properties and comfort, are …

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) applied via different interfaces is increasingly used in the
treatment of acute respiratory failure. One of the key factors determining the success of NIV …

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has dramatically changed the treatment of both acute and
chronic respiratory failure in the last 2 decades. The success of NIV is correlated to the …

Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) has become a standard of care in select patients
with both hypercapnic and non-hypercapnic acute respiratory failure (ARF). Consequent to …

Purpose Because non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) is increasingly used, new
devices, both ventilators and interfaces, have been continuously proposed for clinical use in …

Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) has assumed an increasingly important
role in the management of acute respiratory failure because of its demonstrated ability to …

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has been shown to be effective in avoiding intubation and
improving survival in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (ARF) when …

Background In the last decades, noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been increasingly used to
support patients with hypercapnic and hypoxemic acute respiratory failure. Pressure ulcers …

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a real advance in the management of both chronic and
acute respiratory failure. It is the absence of an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube which …
