Abstract

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has become the standard of care for the management of acute or chronic respiratory failure in many situations. However, to successfully ventilate a patient, leaks and patient-ventilator synchrony should be optimized. Monitoring pressure, volume, and flow waveforms displayed by the ventilators may help to improve patient-ventilator interaction and, therefore, lead to effective ventilation.
