Patient outcomes

Noninvasive ventilation has been shown to:

• Improve gas exchange with increased PO₂ and decreased PCO₂.
• Improve hemodynamics with decreased pulmonary artery pressure and increased right ventricular function.
• Reduce work of breathing.
• Normalise sleep patterns with fewer apnoeic episodes.
• Reduce hospitalisations and improved quality of life.
• Provide relief from dyspnea.
