Abstract
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is an effective treatment for a significant proportion of patients during pandemics, high-risk infections, and mass casualties. The success of NIV largely depends on the selection interface. This chapter describes the general features of NIV interface, types of interface based on the ventilator circuits, and requisites for an ideal NIV interface during high-risk airborne infections. NIV is considered as a potential for aerosol generation and risk of transmission to healthcare workers while caring for patients with high-risk infections and pandemics. This chapter also provides an overview of the interfaces used in the pandemics and high-risk infections and prevention and management of interface-related complications in the given scenario.
