Philips Optimal NIV pairs the right technology with the right training to help ensure success across the spectrum of care. The respiratory technology - the devices, circuits and patient interfaces - offers the flexibility needed for advanced patient care. The training - knowing what technique to use, how to use it and when it may be appropriate - offers knowledge that not only helps enhance patient care but also can benefit the bottom line in a big way.
Rethink Respiratory Care
Patient condition dictates treatment, but sometimes more than one technique may be appropriate. When multiple techniques are viable, more frequent use of NIV – with or without complementary HFT – can help reduce the higher costs of IMV. More importantly, managing NIV can help improve patient care.

NIV is a long-standing and well-known technique, but there’s a difference between adequate and optimal, and it relies on an entire ecosystem – from the device, circuits and patient interfaces to the clinician, patient and condition. Philips Optimal NIV is a novel way to look at NIV. It pairs the right technology with the right training to help ensure success across the spectrum of care.
Philips ventilators offer a range of features designed to help enhance treatment, including advanced synchrony to help reduce NIV failure, and complementary therapies like HFT to help reduce delays from transitioning between modalities.
The robust portfolio of patient interfaces offers complete versatility to help ensure the proper fit for every patient. And Philips support offers expert training to help inform your technique and patient interface selection, keep your skills sharp and increase your clinical confidence.
Improve the experience
Philips supports clinicians in technique training, streamlines workflow and offers cutting-edge technology to help improve patient care.
Enhance patient care
Knowing when to use HFT or NIV instead of IMV - and how tomanage NIV - can help enhance patient care.
Manage your costs
Using IMV or failing on NIV has significant financial impacts. Managing NIV and increasing use benefit the bottom line.

Transitioning between respiratory techniques
Clinicians can manage patients in respiratory failure using a range of respiratory techniques – usually based on the need for oxygenation support alone or the need for both oxygenation and ventilation support. HFT provides a high level of oxygenation but only limited and somewhate variable ventilation support. NIV provides both oxygenation and entilation support. Other factors, such as the patient interface and device performance, can be consideratinos in determining when to use a particular modality once oxygenation and ventilatory needs are addressed.

Timely transition of therapies is important - whether escalation or de-escalation of therapy - or providing HFT between NIV sessions. Although the ability to escalate therapy is important, preventing the delay of intubation in patients who need invasive mechanical ventilation requires understanding and recognition of predictors of failure.
