Noninvasive mechanical ventilation in high-risk pulmonary infections: a clinical review [PDF]
The aim of this article was to review the role of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in acute pulmonary infectious diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), H1N1 and tuberculosis, and to assess the risk of disease transmission with the use ...

Current insights in non-invasive ventilation for the treatment of neonatal respiratory disease
Deleterious consequences of the management of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) with invasive ventilation have led to more in-depth investigation of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) modalities.

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

Comparison of Nasal Non-invasive Ventilation Methods in Preterm Neonates with Respiratory Distress Syndrome [PDF]
Background: Humidified heated high flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC), nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP), and nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) are three nasal non-invasive ventilation methods.

Evaluation of the efficacy of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) versus nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in the preterm babies with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) [PDF]
Background: Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), is an acute lung disease caused by pulmonary surfactant deficiency. RDS is generally due to lung immaturity leading to surfactant deficiency in alveoli of lungs and subsequent collapse during ...

The Bidirectional Relationship Between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Metabolic Disease [PDF]
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder, effecting 17% of the total population and 40–70% of the obese population (1, 2). Multiple studies have identified OSA as a critical risk factor for the development of obesity, diabetes, and ...
