The Survival Outcomes of Patients Requiring Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation
Medicina, 2023 Background and objectives: Patients who require prolonged mechanical ventilation typically experience poor long-term survival outcomes. However, there have been few studies conducted to investigate the five-year survival rate of these patients.

HIF1A reduces acute lung injury by optimizing carbohydrate metabolism in the alveolar epithelium [PDF]
, 2013 Background: While acute lung injury (ALI) contributes significantly to critical illness, it resolves spontaneously in many instances. The majority of patients experiencing ALI require mechanical ventilation.

Noninvasive ventilation in stable hypercapnic COPD: what is the evidence?
ERJ Open Research, 2018 Long-term noninvasive ventilation (NIV) to treat chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure is still controversial in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. However, with the introduction of high-intensity NIV, important benefits from

Increasing compliance with low tidal volume ventilation in the ICU with two nudge-based interventions: evaluation through intervention time-series analyses [PDF]
, 2016 Objectives: Low tidal volume (TVe) ventilation improves outcomes for ventilated patients, and the majority of clinicians state they implement it. Unfortunately, most patients never receive low TVes.

Management of Mechanical Ventilation in Decompensated Heart Failure. [PDF]
, 2016 Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention for respiratory failure, including decompensated congestive heart failure. MV can reduce ventricular preload and afterload, decrease extra-vascular lung water, and decrease the work of breathing ...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and respiratory failure; what about the diaphragm?
Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2015 Introduction: We present a case of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) with a diaphragm paralysis as the primary cause of ventilatory failure. FSHD is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder with a restricted pattern of weakness.

The selection of a mechanical ventilator [PDF]
Canadian Anaesthetists’ Society Journal, 1959 (1) An attempt has been made to discuss the elementary physiological requirements of a mechanical ventilator. (2) The types of machine available are grouped and it is shown that volume constant-pressure variable machmes provide the most satisfactory ventilation.
