Management of Mechanical Ventilation in Decompensated Heart Failure. [PDF]

, 2016
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving intervention for respiratory failure, including decompensated congestive heart failure. MV can reduce ventricular preload and afterload, decrease extra-vascular lung water, and decrease the work of breathing ...

Realising Aboriginal Community Controlled Approaches to Child Reunification

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reunification rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out‐of‐home care (OOHC) in Australia are critically low, even though reunification is the preferred permanency outcome for children following removal, and despite a range of mechanisms and strategies ostensibly to support effective reunification. To better understand the

Effects of descending positive end-expiratory pressure on lung mechanics and aeration in healthy anaesthetized piglets [PDF]

, 2006
INTRODUCTION: Atelectasis and distal airway closure are common clinical entities of general anaesthesia. These two phenomena are expected to reduce the ventilation of dependent lung regions and represent major causes of arterial oxygenation impairment in

Lung maneuvers of large amplitudes for probing physiological alterations in mouse models of asthma

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Lung maneuvers of small amplitudes, such as the ones performed in oscillometry, are the current gold standard to probe lung mechanics in animals, but they are insensitive to detect baseline physiological alterations in mouse models of asthma. Herein, lung maneuvers of different amplitudes were compared in two mouse models of asthma.

Is Positive End-expiratory Pressure Required Under General Anesthesia for Short Procedures

CHRISMED Journal of Health and Research
Background and Aims: General anesthesia results in some amount of atelectasis in most of the patients. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) increases functional residual capacity and thereby decreases atelectasis.

Abdominal functional electrical stimulation to improve respiratory function after spinal cord injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2016
Objectives: Abdominal functional electrical stimulation (abdominal FES) is the application of a train of electrical pulses to the abdominal muscles, causing them to contract. Abdominal FES has been used as a neuroprosthesis to acutely augment respiratory

Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of diaphragmatic dome motion in COPD patients

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in emphysema, where hyperinflation alters diaphragm geometry and impairs inspiratory mechanics. However, quantitative three‐dimensional (3D) assessments of diaphragmatic dome shape and motion across COPD phenotypes are limited.

Glomerular filtration is reduced by high tidal volume ventilation in an in vivo healthy rat model [PDF]

, 2009
Mechanical ventilation has been associated with organ failure in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. The present study examines the effects of tidal volume (V T) on renal function using two V T values (8 and 27 mL/kg) in anesthetized ...

Effects of oropharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation on the volumetric enlarged and reduced tongue base in minipigs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hypoglossal nerve or tongue protruding muscle stimulation is a current treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea. Thus, the present study analyzed 3D deformations of the volumetric enlarged and reduced tongue base upon oropharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation.
