A method of ventilation that delivers a single pressure; used primarily in the treatment of
critically ill patients with respiratory distress and can prevent the need for endotracheal
intubation.

A form of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation that delivers two pressures (a higher
inspiratory positive airway pressure, and a lower expiratory positive airway pressure).
gastric distention
Inflation of the stomach caused when excessive pressures are used during artificial
ventilation and air is directed into the stomach rather than the lungs.
Advanced Airway Management
One of the most common mistakes with respiratory or cardiac arrest is to
proceed with advanced airway management too early, forsaking the basic
techniques of establishing and maintaining a patent airway in a hypoxic patient.
-Establish and maintain a patent airway with basic techniques and maneuvers.
