2. Powered air-purifying respirator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powered_air-purifying...

   A powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) is a type of respirator used to safeguard workers against contaminated air. PAPRs consist of a headgear-and-fan assembly that takes ambient air contaminated with one or more type of pollutant or pathogen , actively removes (filters) a sufficient proportion of these hazards, and then delivers the clean ...

3. Respirator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respirator

   Air-purifying respirators range from relatively inexpensive, single-use, disposable face masks, known as filtering facepiece respirators, reusable models with replaceable cartridges called elastomeric respirators, to powered air-purifying respirators (PAPR), which use a pump or fan to constantly move air through a filter and supply purified air ...

4. Heated humidified high-flow therapy - Wikipedia

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

   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 ...

5. Continuous positive airway pressure - Wikipedia

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

   Nasal prongs or a nasal mask is the most common modality of treatment. [13] Nasal prongs are placed directly in the person's nostrils. A nasal mask is a small mask that covers the nose. There are also nasal pillow masks which have a cushion at the base of the nostrils, and are considered the least invasive option. [18]

6. High altitude breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_altitude_breathing...

   The Summit system used a small mask with nasal cannula and delivered oxygen in pulses, activated by the pressure drop at the start of inhalation. This is an efficient system for gas use, and less gas needs to be carried, but it relies on electronics and batteries which do not last well in the low temperatures.

7. 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.
