A nasal positive pressure ventilation apparatus which includes a manifold and first and second nasal engagement knobs carried on the manifold, each of the nasal engagement knobs having a central passageway for gas being supplied to the respiratory system of an associated patient; the central passageway of each knob being disposed in fluid communication being with the manifold, each knob having at least a portion of the outer surface manufactured of a material that allows expansion, the first and second knobs having at least a portion of the outer surface thereof disposed over respective first and second chambers, a pump for forcing air into both the first and second chambers. The invention also includes the method for providing nasal positive pressure ventilation which includes providing a manifold and providing first and second nasal engagement knobs on the manifold having a central passageway for gas being supplied to the respiratory system of an associated patient; providing fluid communication between the central passageway of each knob with the manifold, providing each knob with at least a portion of the outer surface a material that allows expansion and is impervious to fluids, disposing at least a portion of the outer surface of the first and second knobs over respective first and second chambers, and providing a pump for forcing air into both the first and second chambers.
