The use of a noninvasive ventilator is useful in type 2 respiratory failure.
Type 2 respiratory failure, i.e., hypercapnic respiratory failure, is mostly caused by insufficient alveolar ventilation, and is commonly seen in respiratory failure due to airway obstruction, lung tissue and pulmonary vascular disease.
Non-invasive ventilator can maintain the necessary alveolar ventilation, reduce the partial pressure of carbon dioxide, but also improve the gas exchange efficiency of the lungs, so that the respiratory muscles can rest, which is conducive to the recovery of respiratory muscle function, so the use of non-invasive ventilator for patients with type 2 respiratory failure is useful, but the treatment should also pay attention to prevent and control the complications of the use of non-invasive ventilator.
If the diagnosis of type 2 respiratory failure disease, it is recommended that early standardized treatment to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
