Background: Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is an effective treatment modality for patients with both hypoxemic or hypercapnic respiratory failure and has been shown to decrease the need for intubation [2]. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) provides a constant positive pressure support throughout the breathing cycle, while bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) provides different levels of positive airway pressure during inspiration and expiration.
