Abstract
A non-invasive ventilation system is disclosed. The system includes a plenum chamber configured to provide pressure to one or more branches. Each of the one or more branches is configured to provide the pressure of the plenum chamber to a separate animal. The system further includes a dynamic pressure circuit interfacing with the plenum chamber, the dynamic pressure circuit including a ventilator configured to apply a time-varying pressure to the plenum chamber. The system further includes a continuous pressure circuit interfacing with the plenum chamber through a check valve. The continuous pressure circuit is configured to apply a positive pressure to the plenum chamber. The system further includes a control system configured to operate the ventilator to provide the time-varying pressure.
