    Mechanical ventilation is a treatment to help a person breathe when they find it difficult or are unable to breathe on their own. A mechanical ventilator pushes airflow into the patient’s lungs to help them breathe.  Mechanical ventilation may be

    • Invasive ventilation with a tube inserted into the patient’s airway, performed in the intensive care unit in the hospital.

    • Noninvasive ventilation that can be used at home by people with respiratory difficulties. Mechanical ventilation first came into use in 1929. The two types of mechanical ventilation are

    • Positive-pressure ventilation: pushes the air into the lungs.

    • Negative-pressure ventilation: sucks the air into the lungs by making the chest expand and contract.

    Negative-pressure ventilation:

    The early ventilators were negative-pressure ventilators. Negative pressure ventilation is very little in use now.

    • Iron lung: The first mechanical ventilator, a metal cylinder which enveloped the patient completely up to the neck.

    • Chest cuirass: A small shell which can be strapped to the patient’s chest to create the negative pressure.

    Positive-pressure ventilation:

    Positive-pressure ventilators were developed in the early 1950s to treat polio patients with respiratory paralysis. These ventilators blow the air into the patient’s lungs through a tube. They may be invasive or noninvasive.

    Invasive ventilation:

    • Endotracheal Intubation: the tube is inserted into the patient’s airway (trachea) through the mouth or nose.

    • Tracheotomy: the tube is inserted through a hole made into the airway.

    Noninvasive ventilation:

    Noninvasive mechanical ventilators come with masks and can be used at home. The three kinds are

    • Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAL): delivers constant and steady air pressure.

    • Autotitrating (adjustable) positive airway pressure (APAP): changes air pressure according to the breathing pattern.

    • Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP): delivers air with different pressures for inhalation and exhalation.
