Non-invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) is considered an alternative ventilatory support system to Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (IPPV). It was in the 80s its generalization to treat multiple pathologies. Because of its
present relevance, we set ourselves to the task of undertaking a study about its use in BiPAP mode, setting up the following primary targets: To evaluate the effectiveness of the BiPAP and to determine the tolerance of patients to the BiPAP. A descriptive and retrospective study was carried out in 49
patients on whom BiPAP had been applied. The statistical analysis was made according to Student´s test, taking a value of statistical meaning of p<0,05 The statistical analysis contributed significant differences to all the registered Non-invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) is considered an alternative ventilatory support system to Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (IPPV).

The statistical analysis was made according to Student´s test, taking a value of statistical meaning of p<0,05 The statistical analysis contributed significant differences to all the registered cardiorrespiratory variables and to most of the gas exchange variables obtained. The BiPAP was well tolerated in 83.67% of the cases, and its effectiveness was demonstrated in 67,34%. Unwanted effects appeared in 30%, being desaturation and anxiety the most frequent. No sores by pressure were registered in relation to the used interfaces. After the successful completion of our study we have obtained encouraging results that keep us betting on the development of NPPV in BiPAP mode.La Ventilación Mecánica No Invasiva (VMNI) es considerada un soporte ventilatorio alternativo a la Ventilación Mecánica
Invasiva (VMI). A partir de los años 80, se generaliza su uso en múltiples patologías. Dada la relevancia adquirida actualmente, nos planteamos la realización de un estudio
acerca de su utilización en la modalidad BiPAP, estableciendo como objetivos principales: Evaluar la efectividad de la BiPAP y determinar la tolerancia de los pacientes a la BiPAP. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo en 49 pacientes
a los que se aplicó BiPAP. El análisis estadístico se realizó en base al Test t de Student, tomando como valor de significación estadística p<0,05. El análisis estadístico aportó diferencias significativas en todos los parámetros hemodinámicos no invasivos y en la mayor parte de los parámetros gasométricos registrados. La BiPAP fue bien tolerada en el 83,67% de casos, y su efectividad se demostró en el 67,34%. Los efectos no deseados se presentaron en el 30%, siendo más frecuentes la desaturación y la ansiedad. No se registró ningún caso de úlceras por presión relacionadas con las interfases empleadas. Tras la realización del estudio obtuvimos resultados alentadores para continuar apostando por el desarrollo de la VMNI en la modalidad de BiPAP
