NIPPV (Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation)

Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) is a medical treatment that helps people breathe more easily without using a breathing tube. Instead, it uses a mask worn over the nose or mouth. A machine provides air pressure to keep the airways open, making it easier for the lungs to take in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. NIPPV is often used for patients with respiratory issues, such as sleep apnea or COPD, providing support while allowing them to breathe on their own. It is a gentler alternative to invasive ventilation methods.
