Non-invasive ventilation (NIV)
A patient-friendly treatment
within respiratory care

Helping patients breathe easier

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is widely used to manage acute respiratory failure in and outside ICUs. In selected patients, it can prevent intubation and reduce complications of invasive ventilation.

NIV requires little or no sedation, avoids neuromuscular blockade, lowers the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia, and—with proper expertise—can be safely delivered outside the ICU.
Servo ventilators provide multiple options for NIV support.

Choosing the right ventilator for NIV: what matters in practice

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) can be delivered using different types of ventilators. Although the therapeutic goal is the same——the devices differ in how they manage leaks, deliver pressure, and interact with the patient. Understanding these differences is important to ensure optimal patient treatment.
