  2. Modes of mechanical ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Modes_of_mechanical_ventilation

    Mechanical ventilation machines are available with both invasive modes (such as intubation) and non-invasive modes (such as BPAP). Invasive has to do with the insertion of medical devices or tubes internal to the patient, while non-invasive is completely external to the patient, as for example in using a tightly fitting mask or other device ...

  3. ALS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALS

    Non-invasive ventilation supports breathing with a face or nasal mask connected to a ventilator. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the primary treatment for respiratory failure in ALS [10] and was the first treatment shown to improve both survival and quality of life. [5]

  4. Non-invasive ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-invasive_ventilation

    Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the use of breathing support administered through a face mask, nasal mask, or a helmet.Air, usually with added oxygen, is given through the mask under positive pressure; generally the amount of pressure is alternated depending on whether someone is breathing in or out.

  5. Mechanical ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_ventilation

    For non-invasive ventilation in people who are conscious, face or nasal masks are used. The two main types of mechanical ventilation include positive pressure ventilation where air is pushed into the lungs through the airways, and negative pressure ventilation where air is pulled into the lungs.

    Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the use of medical breathing support administered through a face mask, nasal mask, or a helmet. It is termed "non-invasive" because it is delivered without a need for tracheal intubation. [49] non-rebreather mask A non-rebreather mask (NRB) is a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen to a spontaneously ...

  7. Respiratory failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_failure

    Lack of oxygen response may indicate other modalities such as heated humidified high-flow therapy, continuous positive airway pressure or (if severe) endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. . [citation needed] Type 2 respiratory failure often requires non-invasive ventilation (NIV) unless medical therapy can improve the situation. [15]

  8. Invasive vs. non-invasive BCIs BCIs, sometimes called brain-machine interfaces, have been around for decades, and are most commonly talked about in their invasive form: chips implanted in the brain.

  9. Table of modes of mechanical ventilation - Wikipedia

    There are many modes of mechanical ventilation. [1] In medicine, mechanical ventilation is a method to mechanically assist or replace spontaneous breathing. A breath by breath trigger, limit, cycling (TLC) classification of the common modes of ventilation. (V = ventilator; P = patient) [2]
