AbstractSuccessful application of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation is largely dependent on available equipment and the approaches used to apply it. Third-generation intensive care unit ventilators and portable volume and pressure ventilators may be used for noninvasive positive pressure ventilation. A variety of facial interfaces currently are manufactured, and all should be available. A well-trained therapist with available time is the final ingredient for successful use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation.
