It gives me a great pleasure to write this foreword for the ISCCM Manual of Noninvasive Ventilation (NIV).
We are all aware of the great strides taken by the science of mechanical ventilation of the critically ill patients. From just being a machine being used to support failing respiratory system in 1950s, the science of this field has come a long way. Among the important strides being taken have been the ones associated with noninvasive ventilation.
The evolution of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation over the last 20 years has been quite enormous and interesting. It has started from the need to reduce the chances of ventilator associated pneumonitis with reducing the tracheal invasion during mechanical ventilation. It started with attempted use during various situations requiring mechanical ventilation for a short period of time. It has now evolved into two distinct categories of uses: one in the ICU or hospital as a substitute for invasive ventilation for conditions which are not so severe. The second category is the use at home for chronic long-term support.
Both these uses need their own detailed discussion in terms of conditions and stages in which to use, equipment, monitoring, complications and many other aspects.
This is the basic need for a workbook like this one being brought out by ISCCM.
The readers will be very attracted to the long list of topics included in this book and their curiosity and appetite will be whetted by this interesting list of contents.
I sincerely hope that the book meets the reader's expectations and adds laurels to the long list of achievements of ISCCM. I also hope that the dissemination of science of noninvasive ventilation leads to a more appropriate, scientific use of this equipment in the field of critical care.

Preface
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV), as a technique/intervention, is universally practiced by pulmonologists, intensivists, emergency physicians and anesthesiologists in different environments in varied conditions. Its use has expanded multifold over the years because of ease of application, cost effectiveness and flexibility. Indications have expanded, technology has improved leading to application of complex modes including dual modes, interface quality and choices have also improved thereby simplifying the application of technique. However, as a spin off, these added to the complexity, especially in view of choices of technology for delivery (ICU ventilators versus standalone NIV ventilators or by ventilators developed for home ventilation), how to optimize oxygenation and which mask (interface) to use to take care of patient's comfort with minimal leaks to maintain efficiency of ventilation. Noninvasive ventilations wider application lead to realization of limitation of the technique and potential harm. Practitioners frequently wonder how to nebulize, humidify the gas, correct patient ventilator asynchrony and use of sedation. Because of inherent reluctance for intubation, NIV is frequently used for prolonged periods in acute settings contributing to mortality and morbidity.
The ISCCM, the force and motivation behind the spread of critical care as a subspecialty in India, constituted a task force to relook at its previous guidelines on NIV in view of advances and new knowledge accumulated over the period under Dr Subhal Dixit and Dr Rajesh Chawla. During the formation of guidelines, it was realized that though there is an abundance of literature, but there is no Indian manual/monograph on noninvasive ventilation to guide the practitioners of this technique in the country, leading to concept and writing of this manual. There are 41 chapters in the manual under different section heads dealing with physiology, clinical applications, use in different types of respiratory failure, including end of life situations, and limitations, challenges as well as its use in pediatrics.
The editorial board is thankful to all the authors who have contributed in writing the chapters and sharing their knowledge and experiences. Dr Bharat Jagiasi, Dr Gunjan Chanchalani, Dr Khalid Ismail Khatib and Prof Banani Poddar deserve a special reference and thanks for their tireless work in helping shape the book in current format. We also extend our thanks to M/s Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers, New Delhi, India, for ensuring the timely completion and publication of this manual.

Acknowledgments
As, President of Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM), it is my proud privilege to introduce the book ISCCM Manual of Noninvasive Ventilation to the critical care community.
With the ever-expanding field of critical care, an endeavor to strengthen the academics and ICU practices across the country, the ISCCM has come up with this book to serve as a bedside reference guide.
Noninvasive ventilation is the most popular way patients are ventilated in critical care units and its utility and indications have been well defined and accepted.
Experts from across the country have come together through the book to share their wide evidence based literature and knowledge in the field of noninvasive ventilation.
All the contributors are renowned critical care experts from leading institutions across India.
This book represents an invaluable resource for critical care professionals, and covers the full spectrum of noninvasive ventilation.
Intensivists, postgraduates across the country will find this book an invaluable reference text.
I would like to congratulate the Section Editors, Dr Khalid Ismail Khatib, Dr Bharat Jagiasi, Dr Gunjan Chanchalani and Dr Banani Poddar, on accomplishing the difficult task successfully.
I hope the book serves the purpose for critical care community in saving lives!
Best Wishes!!
