Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the use of breathing support administered through a face mask, nasal mask, or a helmet.Air, usually with added oxygen, is given through the mask under positive pressure; generally the amount of pressure is alternated depending on whether someone is breathing in or out.
It is necessary for most users of the CPT code (principally providers of services) to pay license fees for access to the code. [19] In the past, AMA offered a limited search of the CPT manual for personal, non-commercial use on its web site. [20] CPT codes can be looked up on the AAPC (American Academy of Professional Coders) website. [21]
HCPCS includes three levels of codes: Level I consists of the American Medical Association's Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and is numeric.; Level II codes are alphanumeric and primarily include non-physician services such as ambulance services and prosthetic devices, and represent items and supplies and non-physician services, not covered by CPT-4 codes (Level I).
In March 2020, the USFDA suggested that CPAP devices may be used to support patients affected by COVID-19; [10] however, they recommended additional filtration since non-invasive ventilation may increase the risk of infectious transmission.

Bubble CPAP is a non-invasive ventilation apparatus for newborns with infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS). It is one of the methods by which continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is delivered to a spontaneously breathing newborn to maintain lung volumes during expiration.
Mechanical ventilation to assist breathing and oxygenation through an endotracheal tube, tracheotomy (invasive) or mask, helmet (non-invasive). Thoracentesis or tube thoracostomy to remove fluid or air in the pleural cavity; Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy insertion and ongoing management. Bronchoscopy including lavage.

2 free gasses fill the lungs. As the alveoli are filled with this new gas, the concentration of CO 2 that fills the alveoli is dependent on the ventilation of the alveoli and the perfusion (blood flow) that is delivering the CO 2 for exchange. Once expiration begins to occur, the lung volume decreases as air is forced out the respiratory tract.
