PG4 How to improve the success of noninvasive ventilation

Postgraduate Course
Chairs: Antonio M. Esquinas (Murcia, Spain), Mark W. Elliott (Leeds, United Kingdom)
Aims: To review the physiological rationale for giving patients with hypercapnia and hypoxaemic failure non-invasive ventilation (NIV) support; to provide an overview on the use of NIV in specific patient categories including those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), those who are being weaned from invasive ventilation, and those with congestive heart failure; to discuss the limitations of NIV; to describe new developments in NIV support; and to incorporate the patient perspective for a successful NIV.
