Ventilation Modalities and Acute Ischemic Stroke

The two main interventions in this study were Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in patients with acute stroke. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is a way of ventilation completed in a non-invasive ventilator. In this study, the nasal mask is mainly used to replace the traditional oral and nasal mask.

The high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), as another oxygen therapy, is also used as an intervention in this study to study the effect of early prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
