AB Noninvasive  ventilation  techniques  augment  alveolar  ventilation  without  an  indwelling  artificial  airway.  This  is  accomplished  with  either  negative  (subatmospheric)  or  positive  pressure  administered  via  an  external  interface.  Mechanical  ventilation  emerged  first  with  negative  pressure  ventilation  in  1830,  predating  the  development  of  artificial  airways.  It  had  a  long  history  of  success  in  treating  polio  patients  in  respiratory  failure.  The  concept  of  body  ventilation  later  evolved  to  include  positive  pressure  ventilation  delivered  via  external  masks  covering  some  combination  of  the  nose  and  mouth.
