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

Mechanics and Control of Ventilation
The lungs are responsible for oxygenating the blood and removing carbon dioxide from the body. They are also responsible for a very substantial burden of disease in the UK and worldwide population, and for the cancellation or complication of many surgical procedures.

Pulmonary Trauma and Patient Accommodation with Mechanical Ventilation - Rise Time Settings
The inspiratory rise time in mechanical ventilation refers to the rate at which airway pressure reaches the set target during inspiration. When appropriately adjusted, it enhances patient-ventilator synchrony and improves comfort by increasing the ...
