With conventional ventilation where tidal volumes (VT) exceed dead space(VDEAD), gas exchange is largely related to bulk flow of gas to the alveoli. With<unk> , the tidal volumes used are smaller than anatomical and equipment dead space and therefore alternative mechanisms of gas exchange occur.
High-frequency ventilation
Mechanical ventilation
Positive airway pressure
Negative pressure ventilator
Pressure support ventilation
Non-invasive ventilation
Pressure-controlled ventilation
Artificial ventilation
