From The Cleveland Clinic

Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation: Increasing use in acute care

And interestingly, there were DWingers back then, too!

An exchange on the Forum of the Day, vacuumtalk.com:

Herbert Hoover (hey, why not) wrote:I believe that this new pressure therapy will also be very effective in a variety of other diseases, including OSA and UARS, once they invent them.
