Reconstruction of respiratory physiology based on flow dynamics

Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2018
Since gas exchange in the human lung is mass transports by fluids, respiratory physiology should be based on fluid dynamics. However, current theories of respiratory physiology have been established by regarding the respiratory system as an analogy of ...

High-frequency percussive ventilation in acute respiratory failure

ERJ Open Research
Introduction High-frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV) is a ventilation mode characterised by high-frequency breaths. This study investigated the impact of HFPV on gas exchange and clinical outcomes in acute respiratory failure (ARF) patients during ...

Lung Recruitment Strategies During High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation in Preterm Lambs

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019
Background: High frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) is considered a lung protective ventilation mode in preterm infants only if lung volume is optimized.

Utilization of the lower inflection point of the pressure-volume curve results in protective conventional ventilation comparable to high frequency oscillatory ventilation in an animal model of acute respiratory distress syndrome

Clinics, 2008
INTRODUCTION: Studies comparing high frequency oscillatory and conventional ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome have used low values of positive end-expiratory pressure and identified a need for better recruitment and pulmonary stability ...

Nasal High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation for Respiratory Failure due to Respiratory Syncytial Virus Bronchiolitis: Case Report

American Journal of Perinatology Reports, 2020
The authors describe a case of acute respiratory failure due to severe bronchiolitis. During high-flow nasal cannula ventilation, the blood's high levels of hypercapnia had taken them to plan the sedation and the orotracheal intubation.
