The need for reintubation after extubation and discontinuation of mechanical ventilation is not uncommon and is associated with increased mortality. Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation has been ...

The delivery of positive-pressure–ventilator support without an endotracheal tube was first studied in the 1930s. 1 Now known as noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV), it can be used to ...

Researchers from the Biophysics and Bioengineering Unit of the UB have created a non-invasive low-cost ventilator, to support patients with respiratory diseases in areas with limited means.

A low-cost, easy-to-build non-invasive ventilator aimed at supporting the breathing of patients with respiratory failure performs similarly to conventional commercial devices. Researchers say the ...
