In this short video tutorial, I discuss the basics of non-invasive ventilation. We will be covering the following core concepts:

 

1. Basic physiology – advantages and disadvantages of PEEP
2. NIV Terminology – PEEP/CPAP/BiPAP
3. Which mode to use
4. How should I be titrating NIV, and what monitoring should I use?

 

Here is a link also to conceptualise PEEP:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w85eogm-EU&t=48s
