Abstract
A better knowledge of the technical performance of bilevel devices (ie, pressurization capabilities and cycling profile) may prove to be useful in choosing the machine that is best suited for a patient's respiratory mechanics and inspiratory demand. Clinical algorithms to help set cycling criteria for improving patient-ventilator synchrony and patient comfort should now be developed.
