Performance of ventilators for noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation in children [PDF]
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the performance characteristics of all the ventilators proposed for home noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation in children in France.The ventilators (one volume-targeted, 12 pressure-targeted and four dual) were evaluated on a bench which simulated six different paediatric ventilatory patterns.

Patterns of recruitment and injury in a heterogeneous airway network model [PDF]
In respiratory distress, lung airways become flooded with liquid and may collapse due to surface-tension forces acting on air-liquid interfaces, inhibiting gas exchange.

Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation [PDF]
The National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP) believes that noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is an important treatment modality for the prehospital management of acute dyspnea. This document is the official position of the NAEMSP.

Cardiopulmonary Interactions during Positive Pressure Ventilation
Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) may lead to significant hemodynamic alterations. The cardiocirculatory effects of PPV occur through alterations in the loading conditions of the right and left ventricle and are mediated by changes in intrathoracic ...

Indications and practical approach to non-invasive ventilation in acute heart failure [PDF]
In acute heart failure (AHF) syndromes significant respiratory failure (RF) is essentially seen in patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (ACPE) or cardiogenic shock (CS).
