This webinar provides a comprehensive guide to monitoring and interpreting leaks in patients undergoing non-invasive ventilation (NIV) using Breas ventilators. It elucidates the types of leaks, their calculation methods, and how to clinically interpret various leak patterns to optimise patient care. Breas ventilators provide calculated total leak data. While individual leak values can be misleading, analysing leak trends and waveforms is essential for understanding leak mechanisms and ensuring effective NIV. Awareness of the underestimation of asymmetric inspiratory leaks and how to identify them through waveform analysis is crucial for comprehensive monitoring.
