At Avisha Children’s Hospital, NIPPV (Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation) is a crucial respiratory support therapy used for newborns and children experiencing moderate to severe breathing difficulties. Unlike invasive mechanical ventilation, NIPPV delivers pressurized air through a nasal or face mask, avoiding the need for intubation while still providing effective respiratory assistance.

This mode of ventilation is particularly beneficial for managing conditions such as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), bronchiolitis, apnea, and post-extubation support. By delivering two levels of pressure—one for inhalation and one for exhalation—NIPPV improves oxygen delivery, reduces the work of breathing, and enhances lung expansion in critically ill children.

Our experienced neonatal and pediatric intensive care teams monitor each child closely while using NIPPV, ensuring optimal pressure settings, patient comfort, and continuous improvement in respiratory function. At Avisha Children’s Hospital, NIPPV represents our commitment to advanced, compassionate, and less invasive care for our most vulnerable patients.
