- Abstract
The comment discusses the use of negative pressure ventilation (NPV) as a method to prevent ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). The authors argue that VILI is caused by the supra-atmospheric pressure generated in positive pressure ventilation (PPV), while NPV applies sub-atmospheric pressure around the chest and abdomen, reducing the risk of VILI. They explain that PPV can lead to barotrauma, volutrauma, atelectasis, and haemodynamic consequences, whereas NPV can prevent these complications. The authors suggest that NPV deserves further investigation and development as a potentially safer ventilation strategy.
