ventilation			Initially, at this point, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation may provide the patient's ventilatory needs. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by Wojciechowski, Bill / FOCUS: Journal for Respiratory Care & Sleep Medicine Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) includes the modalities of CPAP and BiPAP and may provide benefits for patients with HF and COPD while avoiding the complications associated with mechanical ventilation. Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in the ER by Nevada RNformation Andreas and Louise Engelbrecht also provide a practical discussion on the value, contraindications and technique of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in the emergency unit.
