Open Day - Sleep and Non-Invasive Ventilation: challenge in clinical practice

Católica Medical School is organising an Open Day on "Sleep and Non-Invasive Ventilation: a challenge in clinical practice" on 28 October at 9:00 am.

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is considered the first-line therapy for sleep-disordered breathing, and its efficacy is strictly related to adherence and compliance to treatment. Overall, despite being effective, adherence and compliance levels are low, and in clinical practice there are many challenges when we talk about NIV in patients with sleep-disordered breathing, which makes its optimization a real need for health professionals.  

Sharing knowledge about ventilator modes, pressure levels, ventilator algorithms as well as NIV patient follow-up models, pressure titration in the laboratory and optimization strategies are extremely important to optimize the overall levels of adherence and compliance and consequently the quality of life of patients with sleep-disordered breathing, reducing the associated levels of morbidity and mortality.
