Hemodynamic Effects of Negative Pressure Ventilation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Both of NPV or positive pressure ventilation (PPV) has impact of hemodynamics. NPV with cuirass ventilator increases venous return and leads to ventricular filling and increases cardiac output (CO); In contrast to NPV, the effect of PPV in most situations is a decreased venous return and leads to decreased CO. NPV improving ventilation and work of breathing in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
