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). 1, record 1, English, - high%20frequency%20positive%20pressure%20ventilation

[...] la [ventilation à haute fréquence] consiste à ventiler le malade à l'aide de volumes courants plus petits que ceux de la respiration naturelle, voire inférieurs au volume de l'espace mort anatomique, à une fréquence excédant 60 par minutes. [On utilise] trois techniques : la ventilation en pression positive à haute fréquence, la jet-ventilation à haute fréquence, la technique des oscillations à haute fréquence. 1, record 1, French, - ventilation%20en%20pression%20positive%20%C3%A0%20haute%20fr%C3%A9quence
