Portable pneumatic high-frequency ventilator

Definition

A pneumatically-powered device designed to be easily moved/mounted and intended to provide long-term support or therapeutic alveolar ventilation for patients who do not require complex critical care ventilation. It typically uses positive pressure to deliver gas to the lungs using a frequency that is considerably higher than physiological breathing rates and a tidal volume less than or equal to the anatomic dead space (percussive ventilation), typically through an endotracheal (ET) tube, tracheostomy cannula, or mask. It typically includes a control system and alarms, sometimes with additional features (e.g., humidification).
