title: The preclinical history of high-frequency ventilation.
abstract: As with many innovative techniques in modern medicine, high-frequency ventilation (HFV) was discovered by accident rather than by design. Various modes of HFV also were developed concurrently, with little or no attempt to standardize nomenclature. High-frequency ventilation developed along three main tracks, driven by somewhat different forces.
