  2. Breathing circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathing_circuit

    Originally developed for use in anaesthesiology, many variants of breathing system are in clinical use, but most comprise a source of fresh gas flow, a length of breathing tubing to direct the gas, an adjustable pressure limiting valve to control pressure within the system and direct waste away, and a reservoir bag to allow assisted ventilation.

  3. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurally_Adjusted...

    Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a mode of mechanical ventilation. NAVA delivers assistance in proportion to and in synchrony with the patient's respiratory efforts, as reflected by an electrical signal. This signal represents the electrical activity of the diaphragm, the body's principal breathing muscle. [1]

  4. Flow-restricted, oxygen-powered ventilation device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow-restricted,_oxygen...

    The main components of flow-restricted, oxygen-powered ventilation devices include An inspiratory pressure safety release valve. A trigger or level positioned to allow both hands to remain on the mask to provide an airtight seal while supporting and tilting the patients head. A peak flow rate of 100% oxygen at up to 40 L/min.

  5. Artificial ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_ventilation

    Artificial ventilation or respiration is when a machine assists in a metabolic process to exchange gases in the body by pulmonary ventilation, external respiration, and internal respiration. [1] A machine called a ventilator provides the person air manually by moving air in and out of the lungs when an individual is unable to breathe on their own.

  6. Airway pressure release ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airway_pressure_release...

    Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a pressure control mode of mechanical ventilation that utilizes an inverse ratio ventilation strategy. APRV is an applied continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) that at a set timed interval releases the applied pressure. Depending on the ventilator manufacturer, it may be referred to as BiVent.

  7. Continuous positive airway pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_positive_airway...

    However, while PEEP refers to devices that impose positive pressure only at the end of the exhalation, CPAP devices apply continuous positive airway pressure throughout the breathing cycle. Thus, the ventilator does not cycle during CPAP, no additional pressure greater than the level of CPAP is provided, and patients must initiate all of their ...
