Objective: To compare the incidence and intensity of acute adverse effects and the variation in the temperature of facial skin by thermography after the use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Methods: We included 20 healthy volunteers receiving NIV via oronasal mask for 1 h. The volunteers were randomly divided into two groups according to the ventilatory mode: bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) or continu...
Objetivo: Comparar a incidência e a intensidade de efeitos adversos agudos e a variação da temperatura da pele da face através da termografia após a aplicação de ventilação não invasiva (VNI). Métodos: Foram incluídos 20 voluntários sadios, de ambos os gêneros, submetidos à VNI com máscara oronasal por 1 h e divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos de acordo com o modo ventilatório: bilevel positive airway press...

Introduction: New human-machine interfaces have been developed to incorporate the new modes and ventilatory parameters. Multiple monitoring data and alarms are presented in graphical interfaces, which many consider still far from ideal for the primary users, healthcare professionals. Hypothesis: Noncompliance with the heuristic human machine interaction can compromise the usability of lung mechanical ventilator...
