  • Title: Intermittent positive-pressure ventilation or spontaneous ventilation during anaesthesia?
    Author: Martin VC.
    Journal: Br J Hosp Med; ; 51(10):529-33. PubMed ID: 7921491.
    Abstract:
    The duration of a general anaesthetic is not, in itself, an indication for either endotracheal intubation or mechanical ventilation. This review argues that, in most cases, intermittent positive-pressure ventilation is no better for patients than spontaneous ventilation.
