  2. Non-invasive ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-invasive_ventilation

    Non-invasive ventilation is used in acute respiratory failure caused by a number of medical conditions, most prominently chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); numerous studies have shown that appropriate use of NIV reduces the need for invasive ventilation and its complications. Furthermore, it may be used on a long-term basis in people ...

  3. Heated humidified high-flow therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heated_humidified_high...

    Patients can speak during use of high-flow therapy. As this is a non-invasive therapy, it avoids the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Use of nasal high flow in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure does not affect mortality or length of stay either in hospital or in the intensive care unit.

  4. 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.

  5. Modes of mechanical ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Modes_of_mechanical_ventilation

    Bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) is a mode used during non-invasive ventilation (NIV). First used in 1988 by Professor Benzer in Austria, [10] it delivers a preset inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) and expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP). BPAP can be described as a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure system with a time ...

  6. Airway management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airway_management

    Functionally, the device is gently inserted through a patient's nose after careful lubrication with a viscous lidocaine gel. Successful placement will facilitate spontaneous ventilation, masked ventilation, or machine assisted ventilation with a modified nasopharyngeal airway designed with special attachments at the proximal end.

  7. Negative pressure ventilator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_pressure_ventilator

    Continuous external negative pressure ventilation (CENPV) was found in a 2015 study to "[improve] oxygenation under [a greater number of] physiological conditions", concurrent with lower "airway," "transpulmonary," and "intra-abdominal" pressures, than experienced with continuous positive pressure ventilation (CPPV), in study of adult ...

  8. Bragg-Paul Pulsator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragg-Paul_Pulsator

    The Bragg-Paul Pulsator, also known as the Bragg-Paul respirator, was a non-invasive medical ventilator invented by William Henry Bragg and designed by Robert W. Paul in 1933 for patients unable to breathe for themselves due to illness. [1] It was the first 'Intermittent Abdominal Pressure Ventilator' (IAPV). [2]

  9. Hypopnea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypopnea

    People with neuromuscular disorders or hypoventilation syndromes involving failed respiratory drive experience central hypoventilation. The most common treatment for this form is the use of non-invasive ventilation such as a bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) machine.
