Positive end-expiratory pressure improves elastic working pressure in anesthetized children
(2018)
Background
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has been demonstrated to decrease ventilator-induced lung injury in patients under mechanical ventilation (MV) for acute respiratory failure. Recently, some studies have ...
Effects of the positive end-expiratory pressure increase on sublingual microcirculation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2017)
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of increased positive end-expiratory pressure on the sublingual microcirculation. Methods: Adult patients who were sedated, under mechanical ventilation, and had ...
Feasibility of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in the treatment of oxygen-dependent COVID-19 patients in Peru
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2021)
Intensive care is expensive, and availability is limited. Low- and middle-income countries in particular have struggled to cope with the large influx of critically ill patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Noninvasive ...
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 ...
An assessment of esophageal balloon use for the titration of airway pressure release ventilation and controlled mechanical ventilation in a patient with extrapulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome: a case report
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2021-12)
Background: Esophageal pressure measurement is a minimally invasive monitoring process that assesses respiratory mechanics in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Airway pressure release ventilation is a ...
How is mechanical ventilation employed in the intensive care unit? An international utilization review
(AMER THORACIC SOC, 2000)
A 1-d point-prevalence study was performed with the aim of describing the characteristics of conventional mechanical ventilation in intensive care units ICUs from North America, South America Spain, and Portugal. The study ...
Anatomical and functional intrapulmonary shunt in acute respiratory distress syndrome
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2008)
Objectives. The lung-protective strategy employs positive end expiratory pressure to keep open otherwise collapsed lung regions (anatomical recruitment). Improvement in venous admixture with positive end-expiratory pressure ...
Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury (VILI) in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS): Volutrauma and Molecular Effects
(Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2015)
© Carrasco Loza et al.; Licensee Bentham Open. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical condition secondary to a variety of insults leading to a severe acute respiratory failure and high mortality in ...
A lung computed tomographic assessment of positive end-expiratory pressure-induced lung overdistension
(1998-12-01)
The aim of this study was to assess positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-induced lung overdistension and alveolar recruitment in six patients with acute lung injury (ALI) using a computed tomographic (CT) scan method. ...
