Positive pressure ventilation is the use of life sustaining systems to help individuals that are showing respiratory distress. The signs that positive pressure ventilation has been successful are breathing over the ventilator and blood gas labs that are in normal ranges.
The heart rate has increased to greater than 100 beats per minute, and the baby has sustained spontaneous breathing.

positive pressue ventilation is usually provided by a mechanical ventilator. A blend of oxygen and air coming out of the ventilator. The FiO2 is set on the ventilator. The person gets the FiO2 set on the ventilator.The manual positive pressure ventilation is by resuscitating with a self inflating bag usually provided with oxygen. FiO2 is fractional inspired oxygen and does not change with positive pressure ventilation or negative pressure ventilation. Manual bagging FiO2 may be changing according to supply of oxygen, inhalation (speed and volume) and frequency of bagging.
One complication associated with positive-pressure ventilations is barotrauma, which refers to lung damage caused by excessive pressure in the airways. This can lead to conditions such as pneumothorax or air embolism. It is important to monitor ventilation pressures and settings carefully to prevent barotrauma.
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)-- A ventilation device that blows a gentle stream of air into the nose during sleep to keep the airway open.
It increases intrathoracic pressure which decreases venous return to the heart and causes a decrease in cardiac output.

Positive pressure occurs when the pressure inside a space is greater than the pressure outside the space. This can be created intentionally in buildings to prevent contamination from entering, maintain cleanliness, and improve ventilation. Positive pressure systems are commonly used in hospitals, clean rooms, and laboratories to ensure a controlled environment.
Positive crankcase ventilation. Uses suction and a one way valve to remove pressure and vapors from the engine.
