Types of Ventilator Support Offered by Respire Homecare

Invasive Ventilation

Invasive ventilation involves the use of a tracheostomy tube inserted directly into the windpipe (trachea). It is typically used for patients who:

Require long-term or continuous ventilator support
Are unable to protect their airway
Have difficulty clearing secretions
Are being weaned from mechanical ventilation

Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV)

Non-invasive ventilation uses a mask interface (nasal, full-face, or nasal pillows) to deliver pressurized air. It is commonly used for patients with:

Sleep apnea (CPAP/BiPAP)
COPD exacerbations
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome
Certain neuromuscular conditions
