Intermittent positive pressure breathing is a method for assisting patients in breathing using a mask that is connected to a machine that produces increased positive thoracic pressure. Thoracentesis is a puncture in the chest wall to remove fluids. The Heimlich maneuver is performed when a patient has an obstruction in his or her trachea or pharynx.
