In most patients, mechanical ventilation is a short-term treatment used for up to 7 days to
support or replace spontaneous breathing until the cause of respiratory failure resolves or …

CPAP is a spontaneous mode of ventilation that maintains a constant airway pressure
during the inspiratory and expiratory phases. This therapeutic modality is used across the …

Objective This bench and human study compared large and small helmets with face mask
(FM) for delivery of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation. Design A lung simulator was …

The primary goals of mechanical ventilation are to restore adequate gas exchange, unload
the over-tasked respiratory muscles, and prevent ventilator-related complications while …

Objective: To detail the history, modes, physiological effects, and circuit geometry of non-
invasive ventilation. Data sources: A review of articles published in peer-reviewed journals …

Objective To compare the performance of two continuous flow generators with a ventilator
designed for noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) to deliver continuous positive …

BACKGROUND: The performances of 2 noninvasive CPAP systems (high flow and low flow
air-entrainment masks) were compared to the Boussignac valve in 3 different scenarios …
