High tidal volume ventilation is not deleterious in infant rats exposed to severe hemorrhage
BACKGROUND: Both high tidal volume (VT) ventilation and hemorrhage induce acute lung injury in adult rodents. It is not known whether injurious ventilation augments lung injury in infant rats exposed to severe hemorrhage.

CHOOSING A PULMONARY VENTILATOR
The author presents an approach to the selection of an automatic pulmonary ventilator. The indications for automatic ventilators are set out and a guide to choice is then suggested on physiological and practical considerations. Many features of machines are discussed briefly and a rather high standard is put forward.

Liquid ventilation in an infant with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis [PDF]
Partial liquid ventilation (PLV) has been applied in various pulmonary diseases. We describe the use of partial liquid ventilation as a lavage method following normal saline (NS) lavage in an infant with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and severe ...
