Descriptor English: Positive-Pressure Respiration
Descriptor Spanish: Respiración con Presión Positiva
Descriptor respiración con presión positiva
Entry term(s) presión positiva al final de la espiración
respiración por presión positiva continua
Scope note: Método de ventilación mecánica en el que se mantiene la presión para aumentar el volumen de gas que permanece en los pulmones al final de la espiración, reduciendo así la derivación de sangre a través de los pulmones y mejorando el recambio gaseoso.

Scope note: A method of mechanical ventilation in which pressure is maintained to increase the volume of gas remaining in the lungs at the end of expiration, thus reducing the shunting of blood through the lungs and improving gas exchange.
