Agree. I'd add that my comment above about exhalation being passive is true in adult ICU practice. In high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) exhalation is active (a piston actively creates a negative pressure in the breathing circuit). I understand this is still used quite a bit in neonates (though I don't do NICU, so not an expert) but has gone out of favour in adults in a big way due to the results of trials like OSCILLATE (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1215554). Probably still used in some centres as a rescue therapy, but I haven't used it in years (we'd use VV ECMO for that purpose).
