Ventilator- -related factors influencing patient-ventilator asynchrony during noninvasive ventilation

The rise in life expectancy worldwide drives the geriatric population growth. Most people expect to live into their sixties and beyond. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global population share of people with age >60 would nearly double from 12% to 22% from 2015 to 2050. This rise in the elderly population has led to an increase in the geriatric ailments, leading to greater requirement of intensive care, which includes mechanical ventilation.

The growth of the market is mainly attributed to factors such as growing prevalence of respiratory diseases and increasing geriatric population. However, adverse effects on cardiopulmonary function and complications associated with air tube, air pressure, and among others are likely to hamper the market growth during the forecast period. Elderly patients are progressively opting for intensive care unit (ICU) treatment with mechanical ventilation (MV). Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a better alternative to be used for elderly patients admitted to hospitals for the treatment of respiratory diseases. According to one of the studies published in Medicine Intensiva, the journal of the Spanish Society of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine and Coronary Units (SEMICIUC), patients with age >75 exhibit significantly greater in-ICU mechanical ventilation requirements.
