Analysis and Modeling of Mechanical Ventilation Operation Behaviors of Occupants in Cold Regions of North China

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Mechanical ventilation has a great impact on building simulation performance, such as indoor environment quality and building energy consumption. However, there is still a lack of accurate mechanical ventilation models established from long-term field ...

Health-related quality of life as predictor for mortality in patients treated with long-term mechanical ventilation

open access: yesBMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2019
Background The Severe Respiratory Insufficiency (SRI) questionnaire is a specific measure of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients treated with long-term mechanical ventilation (LTMV).

A Model-Based Approach to Synthetic Data Set Generation for Patient-Ventilator Waveforms for Machine Learning and Educational Use [PDF]

open access: yesJ Clin Monit Comput (2022), 2021
Although mechanical ventilation is a lifesaving intervention in the ICU, it has harmful side-effects, such as barotrauma and volutrauma. These harms can occur due to asynchronies. Asynchronies are defined as a mismatch between the ventilator timing and patient respiratory effort. Automatic detection of these asynchronies, and subsequent feedback, would

Successful Treatment of a Neonate with Idiopathic Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension with Inhaled Nitric Oxide via Nasal Cannula without Mechanical Ventilation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We report a case study of a term neonate presenting with oxygen desaturation without respiratory distress or acidosis, despite receiving 100% oxygen through a nasal cannula.

Noninvasive ventilation in stable hypercapnic COPD: what is the evidence?

open access: yesERJ 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

Cost-utility Analysis of Home Mechanical Ventilation Compared to Hospital Settings in Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesCurrent Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2022
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neuromuscular disease. Mechanical ventilation delays death and use at home can reduce costs and increase quality of life.

The effect of local ventilation on airborne viral transmission in indoor spaces [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
We incorporate local ventilation effects into a spatially dependent generalisation of the Wells--Riley model of airborne viral transmission. Aerosol production and removal through ventilation (global and local), biological deactivation, and gravitational settling as well as transport around a recirculating air-conditioning flow and turbulent mixing are

Extracorporeal support for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Extracorporeal membrane oxygen (ECMO) has been used for many years in patients with life-threatening hypoxaemia and/or hypercarbia. While early trials demonstrated that it was associated with poor outcomes and extensive haemorrhage, the technique has ...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and respiratory failure; what about the diaphragm?

open access: yesRespiratory 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.
