The delivery of positive-pressure–ventilator support without an endotracheal tube was first studied in the 1930s. 1 Now known as noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV), it can be used to ...

Compared with preoxygenation with an oxygen mask, preoxygenation with noninvasive ventilation led to a lower incidence of hypoxemia during emergency intubation among critically ill adults undergoing ...

Among critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation, hypoxemia increases the risk of cardiac arrest and death. The effect of preoxygenation with noninvasive ventilation, as compared with ...

As knowledge of COVID-19 progresses, medical professionals and the public have become aware of how crucial non-invasive ventilation is for COVID-19 patient care in hospital and at home. To meet this ...

Researchers from the Biophysics and Bioengineering Unit of the UB have created a non-invasive low-cost ventilator, to support patients with respiratory diseases in areas with limited means.
