Novel mechanical ventilator weaning predictive model [PDF]
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a common life support system in intensive care units. Accurate identification of patients who are capable of being extubated can shorten the MV duration and potentially reduce MV‐related complications. Therefore, prediction

Power to mechanical power to minimize ventilator-induced lung injury? [PDF]
Mechanical ventilation is a life-supportive therapy, but can also promote damage to pulmonary structures, such as epithelial and endothelial cells and the extracellular matrix, in a process referred to as ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI).

Association of ROX Index with Mechanical Ventilator Use in Sepsis Patients in the Emergency Department. [PDF]
Detecting sepsis patients who are at a high-risk of mechanical ventilation is important in emergency departments (ED). The respiratory rate oxygenation (ROX) index is the ratio of tissue oxygen saturation/fraction of inspired oxygen to the respiratory ...
