IPPB stands for intermittent positive pressure breathing. In clinical applications, IPPB and ventilator are synonymous and are usually used in respiratory support and therapy.An IPPB ventilator improves respiratory function by giving patients intermittent positive pressure breathing and other therapeutic breathing patterns. It is often used as supportive therapy for conditions such as airway narrowing, airway obstruction, or respiratory muscle weakness.
IPPB ventilators are widely used in the medical field. Among the common directions of use include respiratory failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory disorders, as well as supportive ventilations for patients during surgery. In addition, IPPB ventilators are also used in critically ill patients to assist them in the recovery of respiratory function. In the field of sports, IPPB ventilators can also be used as training equipment to help athletes improve their oxygen uptake and lung function.
While the IPPB ventilator has a wide range of applications, it also requires attention from patients and healthcare professionals. First, the physician must determine if the patient is a good candidate for IPPB ventilator use. Second, when using the IPPB ventilator, it is necessary to choose the appropriate endotracheal tube or endotracheal tube and other tubes. It is also important to note that IPPB ventilators may cause air pressure injuries, infections, and other complications during use, so they must be used under the supervision of a medical professional. At the same time, regular inspection and maintenance of the patient's condition, respiratory substances and equipment must be carried out to ensure the normal use of the IPPB ventilator and achieve the best therapeutic effect.
