Ventilation

An Introduction to Ventilation

The COVID-19 pandemic thrust the area of intensive respiratory care and ventilation into the spotlight. Mechanical ventilation remains a lifesaving treatment in the intensive care unit, but comes with the risk of severe complications. The use of noninvasive ventilation has progressed over the past two decades and offers an important alternative tool for some patients with respiratory failure.

Expert video highlights and insights from the conference hub and comprehensive peer-reviewed articles from our journal portfolio provide updates on the treatment landscape.

Non-invasive Ventilation to Provide a More Positive Outlook in Neuromuscular Disease: An Update on the CHEST Guidelines

Ryan Butzko, Nicole Lapinel, Harly Greenberg

touchREVIEWS in Respiratory & Pulmonary Diseases. 2023;8(1):18–20 DOI: https://doi.org/10.17925/USRPD.2023.8.1.18

The natural progression of neuromuscular disease (NMD) inevitably involves respiratory system failure. Increasing respiratory muscle weakness causes worsening hypoventilation, leading to hypercapnia and, eventually, hypoxemia. The American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) recently published guidelines on the respiratory management of patients with NMD, who are increasingly presenting at pulmonary clinics.1 Continued improvements in non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (hereafter NIV) are […]
