Excerpt

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a type of respiratory assistance without an invasive airway. In pressure support mode (PS), each breath initiated by the patient, has a pressure target and is terminated by the patient; this mode relies on the creation of a pressure greater than atmospheric applied to the proximal airways. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
