Poliomyelitis can affect patients with severe hypoxia and hypercapnia. Historically, most of these patients were supported by mechanical ventilation via tracheostomy. However, this procedure can lead to serious complications. Subsequently, non-invasive alternative procedures have been introduced that provide mechanical respiratory support; these include negative pressure ventilators and positive pressure ventilation via a nasal, oral, and oronasal interface. Although these ventilators are effective, various limitations have been noted. The strapless oronasal interface positive pressure ventilator appears to have the fewest limitations, and through the use of advanced dental techniques and improved dental materials, this ventilator is easily fabricated and has been noted by patients to be more comfortable.
脊髓灰质炎可影响伴有严重低氧血症和高碳酸血症的患者。从历史上看，这些患者大多通过气管切开术进行机械通气支持。然而，该手术可能会导致严重并发症。随后，引入了提供机械呼吸支持的非侵入性替代手术；这些包括负压通气机以及通过鼻、口和口鼻界面进行的正压通气。尽管这些通气机有效，但也存在各种局限性。无带口鼻界面正压通气机的局限性似乎最少，并且通过使用先进的牙科技术和改良的牙科材料，这种通气机易于制造，患者也认为其更舒适。
