Complications of Mechanical Ventilation

Respiratory Care Clinics of North America, 2000
Outcomes of critically ill patients are affected by the severity of the acute illnesses and by complications that may result from treatments. This article reviews the major complications associated with mechanical ventilation. Special emphasis is placed on recent advances in the understanding of ventilator-induced lung injury and strategies to avoid ...

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

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

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

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).

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 ...
