In this episode of Clinical Conversations, James Oswald and Ambulance Victoria Medical Director Dr David Anderson unpack non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for prehospital care.
They explain the key physiology (oxygenation vs ventilation), the practical difference between CPAP and BiPAP, and how this guides use in COPD, acute pulmonary oedema, COVID, asthma, and undifferentiated dyspnoea. The discussion also covers patient coaching, mask fit troubleshooting, essential monitoring, and how to recognise early success vs failure—including when to escalate and call for help.
