Artificial ventilation
Artificial ventilation is a medical intervention that mechanically moves gas into and out of the lungs, delivered invasively through a tube or non-invasively through a mask.
Controlled ventilation
Controlled ventilation is a mode of mechanical ventilation in which the ventilator delivers every timed breath regardless of patient effort, used in apneic or paralyzed patients.
High-frequency ventilation
High-frequency ventilation (HFV) is a ventilation technique delivering tiny tidal volumes at several hundred breaths per minute, used for over 30 years in newborns, especially preterm infants.
Jet ventilation
Jet ventilation, or high-frequency jet ventilation, delivers small gas pulses through a narrow cannula to oxygenate the lungs without a tracheal tube, mainly during airway surgery and bronchoscopy.
One-lung ventilation
One-lung ventilation, also known as single-lung ventilation, is an anesthetic technique that mechanically separates the lungs so only one is ventilated, chiefly for thoracic surgery.
PEEP titration
PEEP titration is the bedside adjustment of positive end-expiratory pressure to keep alveoli open in ARDS, using methods like PEEP/FiO2 tables, best-compliance trials, and EIT.
