High-frequency ventilation (HFV) is time-cycled positive pressure ventilation that delivers a high frequency (60-120 breathes per min) of small tidal volumes (1-5 ml/kg) that are usually less than the anatomic dead space. This type of ventilation can be accomplished been in 3 different modes: high-frequency positive-pressure ventilation (HFPPV), high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV), and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV).
