Nurses' and physicians' knowledge and skills in non-invasive ventilation: Equipment and contextual influences.

CONCLUSIONS: There was no difference in nurses' and physicians' knowledge according to the setting studied. The lack of knowledge regarding NIV therapy depended on training received and material available. To reduce the existent confusion between intentional and nonintentional leak, the use of a single type of NIV supply and providing an appropriate level of training for nurses is recommended.
