Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) refers to the use of techniques to deliver artificial respiration to the lungs without the need for endotracheal intubation. As NIV has proven beneficial in comparison to invasive mechanical ventilation, it has become the optimal modality for initial respiratory support among children in respiratory distress. High-flow nasal (HFNC) therapy is a relatively new NIV modality and is used for similar indications. This review discusses the usefulness and applications of conventional NIV in comparison to HFNC.
无创通气(NIV)是指无需气管插管即可向肺部输送人工呼吸的技术。由于与有创机械通气相比,无创通气已被证明具有益处,它已成为呼吸窘迫儿童初始呼吸支持的最佳方式。高流量鼻导管(HFNC)治疗是一种相对较新的无创通气方式,用于类似的适应症。本综述讨论了传统无创通气与高流量鼻导管治疗相比的有用性和应用情况。
