The Role of rescue therapies in the treatment of severe ARDS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
ARDS is characterized by a non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema with bilateral chest radiograph opacities and hypoxemia refractory to oxygen therapy. It is a common cause of admission to the ICU due to hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ...

In silico modeling of oxygen-enhanced MRI of specific ventilation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Specific ventilation imaging (SVI) proposes that using oxygen-enhanced 1H MRI to capture signal change as subjects alternatively breathe room air and 100% O2 provides an estimate of specific ventilation distribution in the lung.

Effect of positioning and expiratory rib-cage compression on atelectasis in a patient who required prolonged mechanical ventilation: a case report

open access: yesJournal of Medical Case Reports, 2022
Background Pulmonary complications can be caused by intraoperative mechanical ventilation. In particular, prolonged mechanical ventilation is associated with a high mortality rate, a risk of pulmonary complications, prolonged hospitalization, and an ...

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

open access: yes, 2012
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.

Inhaled nitric oxide as an adjunct to neonatal resuscitation in premature infants: a pilot, double blind, randomized controlled trial. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
BackgroundNitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in normal postnatal transition. Our aims were to determine whether adding inhaled NO (iNO) decreases supplemental oxygen exposure in preterm infants requiring positive pressure ventilation (PPV) during ...

Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibition with simvastatin in acute lung injury to reduce pulmonary dysfunction (HARP-2) trial : study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common devastating clinical syndrome characterized by life-threatening respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation and multiple organ failure.

Pulmonary circulation and ventilation [PDF]

open access: yesPostgraduate Medical Journal, 1974
Summary The pulmonary circuit receives the whole of the cardiac output, and the flow through it is governed by events in the systemic circulation. Its function is gaseous exchange, and the low resistance and high capacitance of the circuit is subservient to this function.

Predictive significance of the six-minute walk distance for long-term survival in chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background: The 6-min walk distance ( 6-MWD) is a global marker of functional capacity and prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD), but less explored in other chronic respiratory diseases.

Effect of lung protective ventilation on perioperative pulmonary infection in elderly patients with mild to moderate COPD under general anesthesia

open access: yesJournal of Infection and Public Health, 2020
Objective: The research aims to explore the effects of different ventilation time on postoperative pulmonary infection in elderly patients with the mild and moderate chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD), so as to provide evidence for reducing ...

Refractory Pulmonary Interstitial Emphysema in Extreme Premature Newborn

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Perinatology Reports, 2021
Pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE) occurs when air leaks into the pulmonary interstitium due to overdistension of distal airways, it occurs mainly in neonates with respiratory distress syndrome who need positive pressure ventilation but has also been
