Non-Invasive Ventilation

 

 

Principal investigator:         Dr Michael MacMillan

Co-investigators: Dr Pam Doherty, Dr Ewan Jack, Dr Alice Murray

Aim: To investigating the use of Non-Invasive Ventilation in the Critically Ill.

Current State: Early stages. Some CATs completed (links in margin)
