Abstract

There are various techniques used for supportive ventilation, such as negative pressure ventilation, intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) and intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV). They all provide effective ventilatory support but with expense of a fall in cardiac output which in certain circumstances interferes with normal physiology. On the other hand cardiac output rose to statistically significant level (P=006 nd P=0095) after stopping CPAP on two separate occasions. These changes have also been noticed by other studies.
