Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) therapy reduces the work required to breathe for patients with chronic respiratory failure. NIV is an effective therapy that can help maintain or improve quality of life, reduce COPD exacerbation frequency, hospital admission rates, and length-of-stay. It can reduce healthcare costs for patients suffering from chronic respiratory failure resulting from COPD exacerbations.

Studies have shown that NIV reduces the need for intubation and complications in patients while increasing survival rates. Intubation is the insertion of a tube into a patient's body, especially that of an artificial ventilation tube into the trachea.

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) works by delivering breathing support through a non-invasive method like a nasal mask; instead of an invasive approach, like a tracheostomy.

The NIV machine helps to fully inflate the lungs, improving blood oxygen levels, and reducing carbon dioxide levels. NIV can also help enhance the quality of sleep and alleviate symptoms resulting from low levels of oxygen or accumulated carbon dioxide like morning headaches, daytime fatigue, and shortness of breath.
