The physiological benefits of NIV are similar to those of ventilator support
CPAP is a form of respiratory support that provides constant pressure throughout the respiratory cycle. CPAP principally addresses acute cardiac pulmonary oedema and salt water aspiration through the following measures. The positive airway pressure provided:
BiPAP allows separate settings for inspiratory (IPAP) and expiratory (EPAP) airway pressure levels. This allows incremental times for augmentation of tidal volume and minute volume reducing PaCO2. Those in type II respiratory failure benefit the most from BiPAP. i.e. COPD; neuromuscular disease.
