Intermittent Mechanical Ventilation

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1988
More than 150 years have passed since the birth of the idea of intermittent mechanical ventilation. Many types of ventilatory disorders can result in excessive loading of the respiratory muscles, thus causing them to fail. We now have several types of ventilatory assist devices to choose from so that we can select a system that fulfills the physical ...

Mechanical Ventilation in the Home

Critical Care Clinics, 1990
Despite advances in the application of mechanical ventilation as a short-term, life-saving technique, intensive care units are increasingly faced with patients who cannot be weaned from ventilatory assistance and who require mechanical ventilation as a long-term, life-supporting necessity.

Opioids and Mechanical Ventilation

Current Drug Targets, 2009
In last years opioids have been increasingly utilized to sedate patients during mechanical ventilation. First, in Hypnotic Based Sedation (HBS), they were added to hypnotics because of their analgesic properties. Successively, in Analgesic Based Sedation (ABS), both sedative and analgesic properties were utilized and opioids were given alone; hypnotics

Home mechanical ventilation

BMJ, 2011
National registries are needed to reduce variations in care and improve patient safety More than 140 000 critically ill patients are admitted to intensive care in England and Wales each year. Delayed weaning (>14 days) and continued dependence on mechanical ventilation occur in 2-5% of these people. The human and financial costs of this dependence are

Progress in mechanical ventilation

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2002
Mechanical ventilation is a life-supporting process employed in the management of respiratory failure. Over the years, our understanding of the pathophysiology of lung injury has greatly improved, and has aided the technological development of ventilatory modes that are more patient 'sensitive' and less traumatizing to the lungs.

Mechanical ventilation strategies

Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2017
Although only a small proportion of full term and late preterm infants require invasive respiratory support, they are not immune from ventilator-associated lung injury. The process of lung damage from mechanical ventilation is multifactorial and cannot be linked to any single variable.

Mechanical Ventilator Weaning in Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
Abstract Rationale: Prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) via tracheostomy is a common complication of critical illness which affects a growing number of survivors of intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization. In the USA, patients with prolonged MV are often hospitalized in long-term acute care hospitals (LTACH).

Physiology of Mechanical Ventilation

Critical Care Clinics, 2007
Mechanical ventilation, although essential in taking care of acute lung injury and widely used during surgical procedures worldwide, remains a highly debated field. Clinical trials in the last decade have shown convincingly that mechanical ventilation can result in additional mortality in patients with acute lung injury. This understanding has resulted

Indications for Mechanical Ventilation

International Anesthesiology Clinics, 1997
Indications for mechanical ventilation have evolved substantially since widespread use of ventilatory support began in the early 1960s. While the metabolic and blood-gas alterations that mandate institution of ventilatory support have remained unaltered, new noninvasive modes of ventilation have widened the therapeutic options available to patients in ...

Mechanical Ventilation in Ards

1996
Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a type of acute respiratory failure resulting from altered ventilation-perfusion ratios leading to hypoxemia, hypo- or hypercapnia and decreased lung compliance. Asbaugh and Petty (1) used the term ARDS for the first time in 1967 to describe the clinical picture of diffuse pulmonary infiltration on chest X ...
