Non-invasive mechanical ventilation in status asthmaticus

Intensive Care Medicine, 2001
To evaluate our clinical experience with the use of non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) in patients with an acute asthmatic attack.Seven-year period retrospective observational study.General intensive care department (ICU) of a county hospital.From 1992 to 1998, we documented clinical data, gas exchange and outcome of every asthmatic patient ...

Modes of Invasive Mechanical Ventilation

2018
The ventilator mode refers to the way the ventilator interacts with the patient. Assist control (AC) is one of the most commonly used modes of ventilation, set to either target a desired pressure or volume. Pressure support ventilation is a partially supported, or spontaneous, pressure-controlled mode of ventilation with no set respiratory rate or ...

Nurses’ Perceptions of Education on Invasive Mechanical Ventilation

The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing, 2014
Intensive care units (ICUs) encompass advanced clinical management and technology, mandating continuing education for nurses to maintain competency. This study examined nurses' perceptions of current education on invasive mechanical ventilation in an Australian ICU.Qualitative data were obtained from five optional open-ended questions as part of a ...

Non-invasive mechanical ventilation

Medicine, 2004
Abstract Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the provision of ventilatory support without instrumentation of the airway. It can be achieved using a negative-pressure machine (e.g. ‘iron lung') or, more commonly, with positive pressure administered through a well-fitting mask.

Chronic Invasive Mechanical Ventilation

2016
Invasive mechanical ventilation, or chronic positive pressure ventilation via tracheostomy, is used in select children when noninvasive ventilation is not feasible. The presence of a tracheostomy adds complexity to the care of these children and requires caregivers to learn an additional set of skills related to the tracheostomy itself.

Withdrawal of Invasive Mechanical Ventilation

2019
Abstract The withdrawal of invasive mechanical ventilation is done to allow a natural death. Families may or may not be at the bedside according to their preference. Patients dependent on mechanical ventilation may be at high risk for experiencing respiratory distress during and after withdrawal.

Inhalation therapy in invasive and noninvasive mechanical ventilation

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2007
The aim of this article is to discuss the various factors that influence aerosol delivery in mechanically ventilated patients and clarify optimal techniques for aerosol administration in this patient population. Clinical use of various inhaled therapies in patients receiving invasive and noninvasive mechanical ventilation is also discussed.With optimal

Care of the patient requiring invasive mechanical ventilation

Respiratory Care Clinics, 2002
Patients who require prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation pose a unique set of circumstances to the pulmonary and critical care practitioner. This requires a delineation of the primary cause for respiratory failure, and, in most cases, a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of not only the primary disturbance causing ...

Rehabilitation in children with home invasive mechanical ventilation

Pediatric Pulmonology
AbstractChildren with home invasive mechanical ventilation need special health care and rehabilitation services due to complications caused by both the pulmonary system and physical inactivity. Children who are dependent on invasive mechanical ventilators due to breathing difficulties and lung problems can benefit from rehabilitation programs ...
