Abstrakt: Several devices that ensure oxygenation and correct chest-wall motion can support the ventilation of patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF). Ventilation is performed either by the introduction of a flow, and therefore a positive inspiratory pressure into the airways, or by the creation of a negative inspiratory pressure around the thorax and abdomen, which allows the airflow to enter the airways. This latter approach is referred to as external negative-pressure ventilation (NPV). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
