Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation

Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) is a medical treatment that helps people breathe without inserting tubes into their airway. It uses a special mask or nosepiece connected to a machine that gently pushes air into the lungs, providing support when breathing is difficult. This method is often used for conditions like chronic lung problems or during respiratory distress, allowing the patient to breathe more easily and improve oxygen levels. Since it doesn't require invasive procedures, NIPPV is generally safer and more comfortable, while still effectively assisting with breathing support.
