Preferred term

Intermittent Positive-Pressure Ventilation  

Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Inspiratory Positive Pressure Ventilation
  • Inspiratory Positive-Pressure Ventilation
  • IPPV
  • Positive-Pressure Ventilation, Inspiratory
  • Ventilation, Inspiratory Positive-Pressure
  • Ventilation, Intermittent Positive Pressure
  • Ventilation, Intermittent Positive-Pressure

Note

  • do not confuse with INTERMITTENT POSITIVE-PRESSURE BREATHING: IPPV is on a ventilator, IPPB is spontaneous; in the literature BIPAP (BIPHASIC INTERMITTENT POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE) goes here and BiPAP (BIPHASIC CONTINUOUS POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE) goes under CONTINUOUS POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE

Scope note

  • Application of positive pressure to the inspiratory phase when the patient has an artificial airway in place and is connected to a ventilator.

History note

  • 91(79); was INTERMITTENT POSITIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION see under POSITIVE PRESSURE RESPIRATION 1979-90
