A mechanical method of assisting pulmonary ventilation, using a device that inflates the lungs under positive pressure. Exhalation is usually passive.A type of mechanical ventilation where air is forced into an individual's lungs in short, pressurized bursts, mimicking natural breaths. IPPV can be provided through a tube inserted into the lung, often in an intensive care setting. A related method, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), can be given via a mask to address sleep apnea.
