N2 - Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the treatment of choice for patients symptomatic for respiratory muscle dysfunction. It can normalize gas exchange and provide up to continuous non-invasive ventilator support (CNVS) as an alternative to intubation and tracheotomy. It is usually provided via non-invasive facial interfaces or mouthpieces, but these can be uncomfortable and uncosmetic. The intermittent abdominal pressure ventilator (IAPV) has been used for diurnal ventilatory support since 1938 but has been off the market since about 1990. Now, however, with greater emphasis on non-invasive management, a new IAPV is available. A patient with chronic ventilatory insufficiency post-ischemic cervical myelopathy, dependent on sleep NVS since 2003, developed symptomatic daytime hypercapnia for which he also used diurnal NVS via nasal pillows. However, he preferred not having to use facial interfaces. When not using diurnal NVS he was becoming dyspnoeic. Diurnal use of an IAPV was introduced. Arterial blood gas analysis using the IAPV decreased his blood pH from 7.45 to 7.42, PaCO 2 from 58 to 37 mmHg, and improved PaO 2 from 62 to 92 mmHg. At discharge, the patient used the IAPV 8 h/day with improved mood and quality of life. Consequently, he returned to work as a painter.
