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

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.

Mechanical ventilators

2012
Publisher Summary This chapter explores the physiology, history, and key features of mechanical ventilators. A mechanical ventilator is an instrument that replaces, or assists in, spontaneous breathing. Mechanical ventilators are used in a variety of settings, from the operating room (OR) and intensive care unit (ICU) to the home and transport ...

THE VENTILATOR:

Critical Care Clinics, 1998
A comprehensive ventilator selection process can be a time-consuming and an overwhelming task. The needs assessment becomes the primary driving tool in the design of the selection process. From the needs assessment, the evaluation can be planned and organized according to the facility requirements, time constraints, and resources.

Economics of Mechanical Ventilation

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1988
Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving medical advance. It has allowed many patients who previously would have died as a result of acute respiratory failure to survive. It has also created a population of patients who are unable to recover completely from their acute illness and who require prolonged mechanical ventilator support.

Principles of mechanical ventilation

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2002
Mechanical ventilation is an enormous undertaking for a veterinary hospital in general and for any patient in particular. It is a team effort requiring large amounts of space, supplies, labor, and time. It requires committed owners and clinicians who communicate clearly with each other. It also requires a significant financial commitment initially from

Ventilators for Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation

2010
The use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) to treat both acute respiratory failure (ARF) and chronic respiratory failure (CRF) has been tremendously expanded in the last two decades in terms of spectrum of diseases to be successfully managed, settings of application/adaptation, and achievable goals [1–3].

Mechanical Ventilation

2016
Abstract Managing the mechanical ventilator is different in neurologic critical illness for several reasons. Patients in the neurosciences intensive care unit (NeuroICU) are more likely have normal baseline pulmonary function, unlike medical ICU patients with exacerbation of obstructive respiratory disease or serious newly acquired ...
