Heliox allows for lower minute volume ventilation in an animal model of ventilator-induced lung injury. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND:Helium is a noble gas with a low density, allowing for lower driving pressures and increased carbon dioxide (CO2) diffusion. Since application of protective ventilation can be limited by the development of hypoxemia or acidosis, we ...

Experimental Physiology, Volume 108, Issue 11, Page 1351-1365, 1 November 2023., 2023 Abstract Exercise intolerance and exertional dyspnoea are the cardinal symptoms of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In HFrEF, abnormal autonomic and cardiopulmonary responses arising from locomotor muscle group III/IV afferent feedback is one of the primary mechanisms contributing to exercise intolerance.

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 58, Issue 10, Page 2881-2888, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Introduction This study aimed to determine if a respiratory therapist (RT)‐driven high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) protocol could decrease duration of HFNC use, pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and hospital length of stay (LOS), and duration of continuous albuterol use in pediatric patients with critical asthma.

Clinical use of Heliox in Asthma and COPD
Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2016 Heliox is a low density gas mixture of helium and oxygen commonly used in deep diving (> 6 ATM). This mixture has been also used for clinical purposes, particularly in the critical care setting.

Effects of Heliox in Stable COPD Patients at Rest and during Exercise
Pulmonary Medicine, 2012 Heliox has been administered to stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients at rest and during exercise on the assumption that this low density mixture would have reduced work of breathing, dynamic hyperinflation, and, consequently ...

Heliox for non-intubated acute asthma patients
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2003 Helium and oxygen mixtures (heliox), have been used sporadically in respiratory medicine for decades. Their use in acute respiratory emergencies such as asthma has been the subject of considerable debate. Despite the lapse of more than 60 years since it was first proposed, the role of heliox in treating patients with severe acute asthma remains unclear.

EEG functional connectivity is sensitive for nitrogen narcosis at 608 kPa
Scientific Reports, 2022 Divers commonly breathe air, containing nitrogen. Nitrogen under hyperbaric conditions is a narcotic gas. In dives beyond a notional threshold of 30 m depth (405 kPa) this can cause cognitive impairment, culminating in accidents due to poor decision ...

Successful Extubation Using Heliox BiPAP in Two Patients with Postextubation Stridor
Case Reports in Pulmonology, 2017 Postextubation stridor is associated with significant morbidity. It commonly results in extubation failure after established medical treatment fails, such as nebulized epinephrine and/or intravenous steroids.
