Demonstrative waveforms of (A) conventional ventilation (B) airway pressure release ventilation, (C) high frequency oscillatory ventilation, and (D) high-frequency percussive ventilation. Airway pressure release ventilation and high frequency oscillatory ventilation maintain alveolar recruitment by achieving a higher mean airway pressure (horizontal dashed line) as compared with conventional ventilation without raising peak inspiratory pressures.
