Mode de ventilation artificielle où l'inspiration est assurée par l'insufflation à pression positive intermittente, l'interruption de cette pression positive permettant l'expiration positive. 1, record 1, French, - ventilation%20en%20pression%20positive%20intermittente
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Habituellement l'insufflation mécanique correspond à un volume courant spontané; elle est réalisée par une augmentation de la pression buccale au-delà de la pression alvéolaire. La fréquence respiratoire est proche de la fréquence spontanée normale du malade, et l'expiration est mécanique conventionnelle, à pression positive. Quand la totalité du travail respiratoire est prise en charge par le ventilateur à pression positive, quand la fréquence respiratoire est fixée par la machine, de même que les caractéristiques de l'inflation, on parle de "ventilation mécanique à pression positive conventionnelle en mode contrôlée. 2, record 1, French, - ventilation%20en%20pression%20positive%20intermittente
