The purpose of this article is to identify (by brand name) and then classify the modes available on contemporary portable ventilators used for noninvasive ventilation in the United States. We propose a formal taxonomy that identifies the modes by their control variable, breath sequence, and targeting scheme, therefore describing what the mode does. Use of this taxonomy should be helpful in finding modes with comparable functionality that cater to the specific goal of mechanical ventilation and effective ventilatory strategies for each disease state.

便携式呼吸机提供的无创模式分类。

本文的目的是（按品牌名称）识别美国用于无创通气的当代便携式呼吸机的可用模式，然后对其进行分类。我们提出了一种正式的分类法，通过控制变量、呼吸顺序和目标方案来识别模式，从而描述模式的作用。使用这种分类法应该有助于找到具有可比功能的模式，以满足机械通气的特定目标和针对每种疾病状态的有效通气策略。
