Mechanical ventilation in the home setting can be provided through various methods, including positive pressure ventilation through an intact upper airway (e.g., using masks), intermittent abdominal displacement methods, and negative pressure ventilation through an intact upper airway (e.g., using a chest cuirass or iron lung). Positive pressure through an oral endotracheal tube is typically used in acute care settings rather than at home.
