"Noninvasive Respiratory Support" Lecturer: Dean Hess, PhD, RRT, FAARC. In recent years there has been much interest in noninvasive therapies for patients with acute respiratory failure. These include noninvasive ventilation, continuous positive airway pressure, and high flow nasal cannula. Recent evidence and clinical experience has clarified the appropriate roles of these approaches. This presentation summarizes issues related to patient selection and clinical application of these therapies. Item # CT20171
