SUMMARY 1. All methods of artificial respiration require a free airway from the exterior to the alveoli so that effective pulmonary exchange can occur. 2. All methods of artificial respiration should be accompanied by effective anti‐shock measures. 3.

Quality of life of the mechanically ventilated patients with community-acquired pneumonia [PDF]
Background/Aim. Patients with pneumonia who require mechanical ventilation (MV) are associated with several poor outcomes such as prolonged hospitalization, higher rate of mortality and increased spread of antibioticsresistant pathogens.

Statistical uncertainty of eddy flux–based estimates of gross ecosystem carbon exchange at Howland Forest, Maine [PDF]
We present an uncertainty analysis of gross ecosystem carbon exchange (GEE) estimates derived from 7 years of continuous eddy covariance measurements of forest-atmosphere CO2fluxes at Howland Forest, Maine, USA.

Effect of mechanical pressure-controlled ventilation in patients with disturbed respiratory function during laparoscopic cholecystectomy [PDF]
Background/Aim: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered to be the gold standard for laparoscopic surgical procedures. In ASA III patients with concomitant respiratory diseases, however, creation of pneumoperitoneum and the position of patients ...

Transcatheter ventilation with a modified Rapid-O2 oxygen insufflation device [PDF]
Background The Rapid-O2 oxygen insufflation device® (Rapid-O2) was designed primarily for rescue oxygenation in cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate (CICO) events; thus, hypercapnia is inevitable.
