Non-invasive ventilation is a great technique that we can use for just about any patient who is short of breath.\xa0 We can use it to avoid intubation in our patients who are close to respiratory failure.\xa0 In this episode, we'll talk about how non-invasive ventilation works, which patients we can use it on, and how to actually make it happen.\xa0 For that last part, I'll borrow from a post by Seth Treuger at his blog mdaware.org on how to start non-invasive ventilation quickly while keeping it comfortable for the patient.
