In this episode of Talking Sleep, Dr. Lisa Wolfe dives into the nuances of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and its importance as sleep labs and patients transition from recalled Philips Respironics devices. While CPAP devices may seem similar across brands, the advanced modalities of ventilatory support differ significantly.

Dr. Wolfe, an expert in mechanical ventilation, shares her insights on how NIV can be tailored for patients with complex conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), obesity hypoventilation syndrome, and neuromuscular diseases. Learn about the key considerations for optimizing care during this transition period.
