    Positive pressure ventilation's via a bag valve mask device

    Explanation:

    By giving positive-pressure ventilation, it means that the patient is given airway pressure through the endotracheal or the tracheostomy tube.

    This positive nature of the airway pressure causes the air to flow freely into the lungs till the ventilator breath is stopped.

    PAP or Positive Pressure ventilation is mostly given to the person in the hospital who is suffering from respiratory problems.

    Thus the answer is

    Positive pressure ventilation's via a bag valve mask device.
