Objectives• Discuss the basics of non-invasive
ventilation and the benefits of using NIV• Discuss features that improve bilevel
tolerance • Determine the most effective bilevel
settings based on disease state

Consider Using NIV When …
Use NIVUse NIVObstructive events
persist at 15 cm H2O
Respirations are characterized by CSA,
CSR or CompSA
Patient has a history of ventilatory insufficiency
Patient is not tolerating high pressure settings or
is complaining of inability to exhale, despite expiratory
pressure relief feature

The Problem with Asynchrony

Rise Time
Problem: Patient describes “Pressure is too STRONG!”Solution: Increase rise time
![Page 9: Are You Optimizing Every Bilevel Breath?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815c7e550346895dca935e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Maximum Inspiratory Time
Problem: Patient requires longer expiratory time (i.e. COPD)
Solution: Best option – Shorten inspiratory time
Additional options – Select higher cycle sensitivity,Select faster rise time

Minimum Inspiratory Time
Problem: Patient’s inspiratory effort is weak (i.e. restrictive disease)/can’t sustain adequate inspiration
Solution: Best option – Increase/prolong Ti Min
Second option – Select lower cycle sensitivity

Very High Quick to trigger 2.4 L/min

Cycling for COPD PatientsIncreased inflammation and mucus
Slower inspiratory flow rates
Delayed cycling to expiration
Less time for exhalation
Increased air trapping (PEEPi)
Increased trigger delay and trigger workload
Increased missed triggers
Increased work of breathing

Synchrony Insight - Ti Min
Gentile, Respiratory Care, 2011
“However, premature cycling may also have detrimental effects on patient-ventilator
synchrony. Premature cycling is simply when the ventilator terminates the breath while the patient requires a long
inspiratory period.”

Conclusion•There are multiple benefits to using NIV, particularly in patients with chronic hypoventilation
•There are additional features on some devices that modify pressure waveforms and work to improve bilevel tolerance
