Risk factor analysis and development of a risk prediction model for facial pressure injury associated with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease based on symptom science theory

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine
BackgroundNoninvasive positive pressure ventilation is a key treatment for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and is associated with a facial pressure injury incidence of 20% to 30%. However, current risk assessment still relies

Commonly applied positive end-expiratory pressures do not prevent functional residual capacity decline in the setting of intra-abdominal hypertension: a pig model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Introduction Intra-abdominal hypertension is common in critically ill patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The optimal ventilation strategy remains unclear in these patients.

Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation or Conventional Mechanical Ventilation for Neonatal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Failure

open access: yesInternational Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2014
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the success rate of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) for treatment of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) failure and prevention of conventional ventilation (CV) in preterm ...

Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in acute asthmatic attack

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Review, 2010
Asthma is characterised by reversible airway obstruction. In most patients, control of disease activity is easily achieved. However, in a small minority, asthma may be fatal. Between the two extremes lie patients with severe asthmatic attacks, refractory

Early use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation for acute lung injury: A multicenter randomized controlled trial

open access: yes, 2012
Objective: Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation is beneficial for patients with acute respiratory failure. However, its possible benefit for patients with acute lung injury (200 mm Hg < PaO(2)/F(IO2) <= 300 mm Hg) remains unclear.

Randomized crossover comparison of proportional assist ventilation and patient-triggered ventilation in extremely low birth weight infants with evolving chronic lung disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background: Refinement of ventilatory techniques remains a challenge given the persistence of chronic lung disease of preterm infants. Objective: To test the hypothesis that proportional assist ventilation ( PAV) will allow to lower the ventilator ...

A 5-year registry of mechanically ventilated patients comprising epidemiology, initial settings, and clinical outcome

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2018
Introduction Our primary aim was to document our interactions with patients subjected to mechanical ventilation (MV) in the Critical Care Department focusing on epidemiological characteristics; the initial modes of ventilation used, and initial settings.

Noninvasive vs invasive respiratory support for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
BackgroundNoninvasive respiratory support modalities are common alternatives to mechanical ventilation in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. However, studies historically compare noninvasive respiratory support to conventional oxygen rather than ...
