➡️ Type of Noninvasive Ventilation:
1. BiPAP
2. CPAP

🟦 Without getting too deep into this topic, before you can know how to titrate a patient, you must first know and understand the two primary settings of NIV:
1. IPAP
2. EPAP

➡️ What is IPAP?
IPAP stands for Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure and is an airway pressure that is above 0 cmH2O during the inspiratory phase of breathing. It works similarly to the peak airway pressure in traditional mechanical ventilation. So, if you were to increase the IPAP setting, this will increase the delivered tidal volume.

➡️ What is EPAP?
EPAP, on the other hand, stands for Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure and is an airway pressure that is above 0 cmH2O during the expiratory phase of breathing. It works similar to PEEP in traditional mechanical ventilation or CPAP during spontaneous breathing. If you were to increase the EPAP setting, this would improve the patient's oxygenation status by increasing the Functional Residual Capacity (FRC).

➡️ Adjusting NPPV
So essentially, during titration, you can make adjustments to the IPAP and EPAP settings depending on the patient's ventilatory and oxygenation status. If the patient needs more oxygen, you could increase the level of PEEP by increasing the EPAP setting. If the patient needs a larger tidal volume, you would increase the IPAP setting. Again, the IPAP and EPAP levels can be adjusted depending on the patient's needs.

➡️ Starting Settings:
In general, when initiating NIV, a good starting point for the settings is 10/5.
▪ IPAP = 10 cmH2O
▪ EPAP = 5 cmH2O

With that said, the appropriate initial pressure setting for IPAP can range from 8-12 cmH2O. The initial EPAP setting can range from 4-5 cmH2O. The IPAP and EPAP can be adjusted in increments of 1-2 cmH2O depending on the needs of the patient. Let's say the patient is receiving a tidal volume that is too large, which means that they are blowing off too much CO2. In this case, you could decrease the IPAP setting in order to decrease the inspiratory pressure which would result in a smaller delivered tidal volume.
