Home Mechanical Ventilation: A Canadian Thoracic Society Clinical Practice Guideline
Canadian Respiratory Journal, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 197-215, 2011., 2011 Increasing numbers of patients are surviving episodes of prolonged mechanical ventilation or benefitting from the recent availability of user‐friendly noninvasive ventilators. Although many publications pertaining to specific aspects of home mechanical ventilation (HMV) exist, very few comprehensive guidelines that bring together all of the current ...

An Unusual Pulmonary Condition Presenting following Trauma
Canadian Respiratory Journal, Volume 13, Issue 7, Page 384-386, 2006., 2006 An 18‐year‐old man presented to the emergency department following an assault. He complained of left‐sided pleuritic chest pain and difficulty breathing. Clinical examination revealed reduced air entry and coarse crepitations at the left lung base. A chest x‐ray showed a large opacity at the left lung base that contained multiple cystic areas with air ...

C1 Inhibitor Deficiency and Angioedema of the Small Intestine Masquerading as Crohn’s Disease
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 349-351, 2000., 2000 A case of C1 inhibitor deficiency presenting as localized edema of the small intestine is described. A 16‐year‐old, previously healthy woman presented with recurrent attacks of abdominal pain and vomiting following minor abdominal trauma. Investigations including computed tomography scan and barium studies confirmed localized edema of the jejunum.

Delayed Diaphragmatic Herniation Masquerading as a Complicated Parapneumonic Effusion
Canadian Respiratory Journal, Volume 6, Issue 4, Page 361-366, 1999., 1999 Injury to the diaphragm following blunt or penetrating thoraco‐abdominal trauma is not uncommon. Recognition of this important complication of trauma continues to be a challenge because of the lack of specific clinical and plain radiographic features, the frequent presence of other serious injuries and the potential for delayed presentation.

PEEP or No PEEP: That Is Not the Question
Canadian Respiratory Journal, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page 361-367, 1996., 1996 Generally, positive end‐expiratory pressure (PEEP) is applied to improve oxygenation, and has been shown to improve gas exchange and lung compliance in acute lung injury, but it is not without risk. To date, no controlled outcome studies have been published to demonstrate the best method of choosing the level of PEEP.

High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation
Canadian Respiratory Journal, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page 368-369, 1996., 1996 High frequency oscillatory (HFO) ventilation using low tidal volume and peak airway pressures is extremely efficient at eliminating carbon dioxide and raising pH in the newborn infant with acute respiratory failure. Improvement in oxygenation requires a strategy of sustained or repetitive inflations to 25 to 30 cm H2O in order to place the lung on the ...

Establishing an Approach to Mechanical Ventilation
Canadian Respiratory Journal, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page 403-408, 1996., 1996 Technology in the intensive care environment has progressed at an exponential rate. This progression has particularly been noticeable in relation to mechanical ventilation where advancements have arguably surpassed improvements in patient morbidity and mortality.
