Q

Explain how negative pressure ventilators works?

A

intermittently by applying negative pressure to the entire body region below the neck or to the upper region of the chest. negative pressure is transmitted across the chest wall into the pleural space and into the alveolar space. The result is an increase in transpulmonary pressure which causes air to enter the lungs. Exhalation is passive and depends on the elastic recoil of the lungs and chest wall.
