The interface should be airtight for maximum efficiency. NIV has many advantages like it can be applied to an awake person. The mask is removable, thus adds comfort to the patient if the patient needs to talk, eat, or drink. NIV allows delivering a high concentration of oxygen.

NIV is a default choice for cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Positive pressure helps to recruit alveoli which might have collapsed due to edema, which increases the area of gas exchange. NIV requires close monitoring in starting and should be reviewed at frequent intervals.
