Abstract: | Invasive ventilation is associated with both pulmonary and non-pulmonary complications. There has been a renewed interest in the use of negative pressure ventilation (NPV) for various medical conditions to minimise the complications associated with positive pressure ventilation. The routine use of NPV in an ICU setting still requires further studies and research. In this article, the authors review the clinical applications of NPV together with associated risks and limitations. Case reports of patients with cardiac, neuromuscular, and respiratory diseases managed with NPV on our unit are described. NPV improved the clinical condition in each of these patients and decreased the requirement for invasive therapy. |
