Trigger performance of mid-level ICU mechanical ventilators during assisted ventilation: a bench study
(SPRINGER, 2008)
Objective: To compare the triggering performance of mid-level ICU mechanical ventilators with a standard ICU mechanical ventilator. Design: Experimental bench study. Setting: The respiratory care laboratory of a ...
Comparison of 3 modes of automated weaning from mechanical ventilation: A bench study
(W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INCPHILADELPHIA, 2012)
Purpose: Automated weaning modes are available in some mechanical ventilators, but no studies compared them hitherto. We compared the performance of 3 automated modes under standard and challenging situations. Methods: We ...
Ventilator-induced lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome: a basic science review
(2012)
Acute respiratory distress syndrome is the most severe manifestation of acute lung injury and it is associated with high mortality rate. Despite better understanding of ARDS pathophysiology, its mechanism is still unclear. ...
Interactive effects of mechanical ventilation, inhaled nitric oxide and oxidative stress in acute lung injury
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-01-01)
To compare conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) and high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV), with/without inhaled nitric oxide (iNO), for oxygenation, inflammation, antioxidant/oxidative stress status, and DNA ...
Effects of noninvasive ventilation on lung hyperinflation in stable hypercapnic COPD
(EUROPEAN RESPIRATORY SOC JOURNALS LTD, 2002)
Two previous uncontrolled studies have suggested that noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) in patients with hypercapnic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) improves arterial blood gas tensions by decreasing ...
How is mechanical ventilation employed in a pediatric intensive care unit in Brazil?
(Faculdade de Medicina / USP, 2009)
OBJECTIVE: to investigate the relationship between mechanical ventilation and mortality and the practice of mechanical ventilation applied in children admitted to a high-complexity pediatric intensive care unit in the city ...
Manejo fisioterapéutico en la optimización en la broncodilatación en ventilación mecánica invasiva
(2019-03-05)
La broncodilatación es el aumento del diámetro o de la luz de los bronquios, lo que permite un mayor flujo de aire hacia los pulmones por ellos el aporte de los broncodilatadores que son fármacos capaces de relajar el ...
Respiratory drive, inspiratory effort, and work of breathing: review of definitions and non-invasive monitoring tools for intensive care ventilators during pandemic times
(2022)
Technological advances in mechanical ventilation have been essential to increasing the survival rate in intensive care units. Usually, patients needing mechanical ventilation use controlled ventilation to override the ...
