2. Positive airway pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_airway_pressure

   A typical CPAP machine houses the air pump in a case lined with sound-absorbing material for quieter operation. A hose carries the pressurized air to a face mask or nasal pillow. The Sullivan V Plus, a typical mid-1990s CPAP (the mask is more modern). A typical full face CPAP mask. CPAP therapy breaks the cycle of OSA

3. Continuous positive airway pressure - Wikipedia

   A full face mask over the mouth and nose is another approach for people who breathe out of their mouths when they sleep. [13] Often, oral masks and naso-oral masks are used when nasal congestion or obstruction is an issue. [medical citation needed] There are also devices that combine nasal pressure with mandibular advancement devices (MAD).

4. Non-invasive ventilation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-invasive_ventilation

   Modern devices are often much smaller. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the use of breathing support administered through a face mask, nasal mask, or a helmet. Air, usually with added oxygen, is given through the mask under positive pressure; generally the amount of pressure is alternated depending on whether someone is breathing in or out.

5. Bubble CPAP - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_CPAP

   Bubble CPAP is a non-invasive ventilation strategy for newborns with infant respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS). It is one of the methods by which continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is delivered to a spontaneously breathing newborn to maintain lung volumes during expiration. With this method, blended and humidified oxygen is delivered ...

6. Powered air-purifying respirator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powered_air-purifying...

   A powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) is a type of respirator used to safeguard workers against contaminated air. PAPRs consist of a headgear-and-fan assembly that takes ambient air contaminated with one or more type of pollutant or pathogen, actively removes (filters) a sufficient proportion of these hazards, and then delivers the clean ...

   Filtering half mask, reusable elastomeric respirator with pink replaceable pancake filters and grey exhalation valve Full-face elastomeric respirators seal better. [1] Mechanical filters, a part of particulate respirators, are a class of filter for air-purifying respirators that mechanically stops particulates from reaching the wearer's nose ...
