Expert recommendations for setting and adjusting airway pressure release ventilation based on clinical experience and basic science evidence [PDF]
BackgroundWe conducted a roundtable discussion and provided evidence-based guidance on the setting and adjustment of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) in adult patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).MethodsA panel of clinicians

In the pursuit of science, competitive ideas and debate are necessary means to attain knowledge and expose our ignorance. To quote Murray Gell-Mann (1969 Nobel Prize laureate in Physics): “Scientific orthodoxy kills truth”. In mechanical ventilation, the

Comparison of Two Modes: “Pressure-Regulated Volume-Controlled” and “Adaptive Support Ventilation” in Intensive Care Units’ Patients [PDF]
Background: Nowadays, the use of mechanical ventilation devices has a vital use in the treatment of patients hospitalized in intensive care units, while different modes of mechanical ventilation devices had different outcomes, thus this study aimed at ...

Thermal comfort: standard compliant modelling of natural ventilation in adaptive time step solvers [PDF]
Natural ventilation can help maintain thermal comfort during summer periods. In simulation models for thermal comfort analysis, occupant behaviour related to natural ventilation is often included through definition of ventilation rule sets.

Prediction of Indoor Air Quality using Long Short-Term Memory with Adaptive Gated Recurrent Unit [PDF]
There is significant evidence that the COVID-19 virus may be spread by inhaling aerosols leading to risk of infections across indoor environments. Having said that, it is clear that the formulation of indoor air quality (IAQ) needs to be carefully ...

Ratchet recruitment in the acute respiratory distress syndrome: lessons from the newborn cry
Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have few treatment options other than supportive mechanical ventilation. The mortality associated with ARDS remains unacceptably high, and mechanical ventilation itself has the potential to ...

Unshrinking the baby lung to calm the VILI vortex
A hallmark of ARDS is progressive shrinking of the ‘baby lung,’ now referred to as the ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) ‘vortex.’ Reducing the risk of the VILI vortex is the goal of current ventilation strategies; unfortunately, this goal has not ...
