title: New modalities for non-invasive ventilation.
abstract: There is now substantial evidence supporting the use of non-invasive ventilation in acute hypercpanic exacerbations of chronic respiratory failure, and early trials show nocturnal ventilatory support may benefit chronic heart failure patients with sleep disordered breathing. Attention is now being focused on innovative modes which adapt respiratory support to the user's ventilatory pattern, eg adaptive service ventilation and assured volume delivery 'intelligent' ventilation.
