Clinical Assessment Method in Patients Using Non-invasive Ventilation

Establishment and Validation of the Clinical Assessment Method in Patients Using Non-invasive Ventilation

This is an observational study of recording the respiratory parameters of patients when receiving non-invasive ventilation and analyze the relationship between those parameters and clinical outcomes.

Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) is undoubtedly one of the most important advances in mechanical ventilation technology in the past 30 years. Currently, NPPV has become an essential respiratory support technology in hospitals, and it is used in different fields, including respiratory and critical care, emergency care, anesthesia, and rehabilitation. Applications of NPPV are also gradually expanding from intensive care units (ICUs) and respiratory wards to use in other medical departments and at home.

This is an observational study of recording the respiratory parameters of patients when receiving non-invasive ventilation and analyze the relationship between those parameters and clinical outcomes.
