Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing

New England Journal of Medicine, 1954
THE therapeutic value of mechanical respiration in acute and chronic pulmonary diseases, as well as in cardiac conditions, has encouraged the development of many types of apparatus, found largely in the laboratories of physiologists and clinicians interested in pulmonary diseases. The numerous mechanical devices successfully used for pressure breathing

INTERMITTENT POSITIVE PRESSURE BREATHING

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1948
Intermittent positive pressure breathing produced by artificial means, is brought about by actively raising the pressure in the lungs during inspiration, the expiratory phase being either passive or mediated through an active mechanism creating negative pressure in the lungs (table 1).

Drowning treated with intermittent positive pressure breathing

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1960
A standardized dog experiment was designed to simulate human victims of submersion who seem to first develop laryngospasm, followed by flooding of the lungs. The tracheal tube of lightly anesthetized dogs was clamped until the onset of apnea. The lungs were then flooded for 30 seconds with fresh water or sea water, or apnea was permitted to continue ...

Intermittent positive-pressure breathing after lung surgery

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2011
Intermittent positive-pressure breathing is thought to avoid atelectasis and improve pulmonary function after major lung resections. Since no clear scientific data was available to confirm this, our objective was to determine whether atelectasis can be avoided and if postoperative lung function is improved.

Effects of intermittent positive pressure breathing on emphysematous patients

The American Journal of Medicine, 1966
Abstract Eight subjects free of pulmonary disease and eighteen with moderate to severe pulmonary emphysema were subjected to 15 minutes of continuous intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB) and followed for 2 hours after cessation of therapy.

Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing

Diseases of the Chest, 1956
• Thirty-three patients with pulmonary emphysema and various degrees of bronchospasm, fibrosis, bronchiectasis, and chronic infection were treated with bronchodilator drugs, with and without intermittent positive-pressure breathing. The three bronchodilators used were power-nebulized for inhalation and were given in random sequence so as to determine ...
