Noninvasive and sub-acute ventilation

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has become a standard of care for respiratory insufficiency. When compared to invasive ventilation, NIV is associated with lower rates of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and reduced hospital costs. Philips family of Respironics noninvasive ventilators are designed specifically for NIV, so they are easy to operate and provide excellent synchrony.
