Abstract:
Efficacy and tolerance of home non-invasive ventilation (NIV) must be assessed by using objective criteria (clinical evaluation, arterial blood gases, oxymetry, and research of side effects such as air leaks, skin problems, etc). In this article, we describe a procedure for long-term follow-up of home NIV. We also suggest an algorithm using available polygraphic tools to ascertain causes of NIV failure, in order to correct them.

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
