ABSTRACT
Non-invasive respiratory therapy makes it possible to limit the use of invasive ventilation in certain situations. It can be applied to elderly patients and is effective, including outside intensive care units. The geriatric intermediate care structure at Trois-Chene Hospital in Geneva is a certified intermediate care unit with a special focus on the care of older patients. This article describes the specificities and challenges of such a unit through its experience with the use of non-invasive respiratory therapy during the Covid-19 pandemic.
