2. Negative pressure ventilator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_pressure_ventilator

   The Pulmotor is a device developed in the early 1900s which was the forerunner of modern mechanical ventilators. It used pressure from a tank of compressed oxygen to operate a valve system that alternately forced air into and out of a person's airway, using alternating positive and negative air pressure.

3. Nasopharyngeal airway - Wikipedia

   The correct size airway is chosen by measuring the device on the patient: the device should reach from the patient's nostril to the earlobe or the angle of the jaw. [10] The outside of the tube is lubricated with a water-based lubricant so that it enters the nose more easily. [5] The device is inserted until the flared end rests against the ...

   The process of forcing air into and out of the lungs is known as ventilation. The process by which oxygen is taken in by the bloodstream is called oxygenation. Lung compliance is the capacity of the lungs to contract and expand. The obstruction of airflow via the respiratory tract is known as airway resistance.

6. Oropharyngeal airway - Wikipedia

   Heated humidified high-flow therapy, often simply called high flow therapy, is a type of respiratory support that delivers a flow of medical gas to a patient of up to 60 liters per minute and 100% oxygen through a large bore or high flow nasal cannula. Primarily studied in neonates, it has also been found effective in some adults to treat ...
