Determinants of effective ventilation during nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation [PDF]
Our aim was to verify in healthy subjects submitted to nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (nIPPV) with a volumetric ventilator on controlled mode, whether changes in ventilator settings (delivered tidal volume (VT), respiratory frequency (fR) and inspiratory flow (V'I) could influence effective minute ventilation (V'E), thus allowing ...

Physiological Aspects of Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation [PDF]
The mechanical properties of the lungs and chest wall dictate the relationship between tidal volume, flow rate and airway pressure developed during intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV). The increase in intrathoracic pressures associated with IPPV has consequences for the intrapulmonary distribution of ventilation and perfusion (hence gas ...

Noninvasive mechanical ventilation in high-risk pulmonary infections: a clinical review [PDF]
The aim of this article was to review the role of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in acute pulmonary infectious diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), H1N1 and tuberculosis, and to assess the risk of disease transmission with the use ...

The Bidirectional Relationship Between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Metabolic Disease [PDF]
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder, effecting 17% of the total population and 40–70% of the obese population (1, 2). Multiple studies have identified OSA as a critical risk factor for the development of obesity, diabetes, and ...

Pressure support ventilation with the I-gel in intensive care unit: case report
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The I-gel supraglottic airway has a non-inflatable cuff made from a gel-like thermoplastic elastomer. The use of the I-gel during anesthesia for spontaneously breathing patients or intermittent positive pressure ventilation ...
