MECHANICAL VENTILATORY SUPPORT :

Ventilatory support includes use of artificial breathing devices (ventilator, CPAP system, etc.) and a connector. Prostheses largely used are nasal (Figure 4) and facial masks to perform non-invasive ventilation, and tracheal tubes (Figure 5) for invasive ventilation (13).

Figure 4 - Nasal mask for Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation

Figure 5 -Endotracheal intubation (in the figure naso-tracheal intubation) allows connecting the patient to any ventilatory support.

Depending on connecting prosthesis, mechanical ventilation is defined:

non-invasive ventilation when inferior airways are not invaded to introduce external gases into lungs
invasive ventilation when tracheal intubation or tracheostomy are used to connect patient to ventilator.
