Tension Pneumocephalus Related to Spontaneous Skull Base Dehiscence in a Patient on BiPAP [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Spontaneous pneumocephalus is an uncommon phenomenon that may develop in patients with occult skull base defects. There have been reports of pneumocephalus occurring spontaneously in the setting of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) use (1 ...

Guidelines for Essential Trauma Care: Second Edition (2026)

open access: yesWorld Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Injury is a major cause of death and disability globally, with the highest burden in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Strengthening the organization and planning for trauma care (care of the injured) can improve care and lower mortality. In 2004, the International Association for Trauma Surgery and Intensive Care (IATSIC) and the World Health ...

Is it possible to predict the success of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in acute respiratory failure due to COPD? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
There is now sufficient evidence that non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) in selected patients with severe hypercapnic acute respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is more effective than pharmacological ...

Outcomes of children and young people with cerebral palsy receiving long‐term respiratory support: A systematic review

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Outcomes of children with cerebral palsy receiving long‐term respiratory support. Abstract Aim To systematically review the current knowledge gap in, and impact of, long‐term respiratory support in children and young people (CYP) with cerebral palsy (CP). Method We searched six databases from inception until 30th January 2025.

Design and Bench Testing of a Novel, Pediatric, Non-Invasive, Bubble Bilevel Positive Pressure Ventilation Device

open access: yesBioengineering
Acute lower respiratory tract infections are a leading cause of death in individuals under the age of 5 years, mostly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The lack of respiratory support systems contributes to the poor outcomes.

Domiciliary nasal respiratory support : first experiences in Malta [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Nasal respiratory support is a non-invasive alternative to conventional assisted ventilation with endotracheal intubation, or the more cumbersome negative pressure ventilators.

Prescription and use of ward‐delivered nasal high‐flow oxygen and non‐invasive ventilation for people with acute respiratory failure

open access: yesInternal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Nasal high‐flow therapy with oxygen entrained (HFNO) and non‐invasive ventilation (NIV) are important therapies for managing acute respiratory failure (ARF) in the ward‐based setting. The European Respiratory Society released guidelines in 2022 recommending the use of HFNO over conventional oxygen therapy and NIV in patients with hypoxic ARF ...

Enhancement of Cardiac Performance by Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure Ventilation in Heart Failure [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cardiac Failure, 2012
Recent studies have reported the clinical usefulness of positive airway pressure ventilation therapy with various kinds of pressure support compared with simple continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for heart failure patients. However, the mechanism of the favorable effect of CPAP with pressure support can not be explained simply from the ...

The Pharyngeal Resistance Index—A Promising Diagnostic Tool in OSA

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the newly developed pharyngeal resistance index derived from computational fluid dynamics analysis of the upper airway in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The aim was to evaluate this index as a diagnostic and severity assessment tool by comparing it with the apnea‐hypopnea index before and after maxillomandibular

Application of Dual Mask for Postoperative Respiratory Support in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patient

open access: yesCase Reports in Anesthesiology, 2013
In some conditions continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel positive airway pressure (BIPAP) therapy alone fails to provide satisfactory oxygenation. In these situations oxygen (O2) is often being added to CPAP/BIPAP mask or hose.
