Patients on ventilators need comprehensive care, combined with monitoring of clinical and paraclinical signs and ventilator parameters. Ventilator patients are often seriously ill, so care and nutrition of ventilator patients must be done properly.

CPAP (Continuous positive airway pressure) - continuous positive airway pressure ventilation. BIPAP (Bilevel positive airway pressure) - ventilation with two positive pressure thresholds. These are two non-invasive ventilation methods widely used in intensive care units, especially in neonatal resuscitation.
