Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) delivers mechanical ventilation without an artificial airway by using techniques like CPAP and BiPAP. NIV improves alveolar ventilation, reduces work of breathing, and avoids complications of endotracheal tubes. It is useful for conditions like respiratory failure, atelectasis, and cardiogenic pulmonary edema. While NIV has advantages of being non-invasive and improving patient comfort, it also has disadvantages like slower correction of abnormalities and potential for skin irritation or air leakage. Different modes like CPAP and BiPAP are used depending on if the patient has hypoxemia or hypercapnia. NIV requires supervision and is contraindicated in patients with impaired consciousness or inability to protect their
