High-intensity noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) might have reduced need for endotracheal intubation for persistent hypercapnia during acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive ...
Some patients with exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exhibit clear contraindications to noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV); such contraindications include impending ...
Three main methods of noninvasive support are used in the acute care setting: a high flow of gas delivered through a large-bore nonocclusive nasal cannula (i.e., high-flow nasal cannula), continuous ...
Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) reduced the risk of requiring invasive ventilation and developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia by nearly half compared with nasal continuous ...
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) engineers recently released a two-disk DVD set that demonstrates how Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV), a technique in which powerful fans force ...
