In medicine, artificial respiration is "Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have respiratory insufficiency to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2)."[1]
Classification
Using intratracheal intubation
Noninvasive
- Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). CPAP may help respiratory insufficiency due to heart failure.[2]
- Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP)
- Intermittent Positive-Pressure Breathing (IPPB or NIPPB). IPPB may help respiratory insufficiency due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease[3], especially if the exacerbations are severe[4].
