Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV)
Advanced respiratory support including BiPAP, AVAPS, and ASV therapy for patients with complex sleep and respiratory disorders.
Understanding Non-Invasive Ventilation
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) provides advanced respiratory support without the need for invasive procedures like tracheostomy. These therapies are ideal for patients who require more support than traditional CPAP therapy offers.
VeroHealth offers BiPAP, AVAPS, and ASV - each tailored to match a patient’s individual respiratory needs.
Indications for Non-Invasive Ventilation
Chronic Respiratory Failure
Long-term breathing difficulties requiring ongoing mechanical support
Neuromuscular Disorders
ALS, muscular dystrophy, and other conditions affecting breathing muscles
Spinal Cord Injuries
High-level spinal injuries that affect respiratory function
Central Sleep Apnea
Severe cases requiring advanced ventilatory support
Types of Non-Invasive Ventilation
BiPAP Therapy
