Association of the infection probability of COVID-19 with ventilation rates in confined spaces
Building Simulation, 2020 A growing number of cases have proved the possibility of airborne transmission of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Ensuring an adequate ventilation rate is essential to reduce the risk of infection in confined spaces.

Optimization of cool roof and night ventilation in office buildings: A case study in Xiamen, China [PDF]
, 2020 Increasing roof albedo (using a “cool” roof) and night ventilation are passive cooling technologies that can reduce the cooling loads in buildings, but existing studies have not comprehensively explored the potential benefits of integrating these two ...

Effects of ventilation on the indoor spread of COVID-19
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 Although the relative importance of airborne transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is controversial, increasing evidence suggests that understanding airflows is important for estimation of the risk of contracting COVID-19.

Sustained inflation at birth did not alter lung injury from mechanical ventilation in surfactant-treated fetal lambs. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundSustained inflations (SI) are used with the initiation of ventilation at birth to rapidly recruit functional residual capacity and may decrease lung injury and the need for mechanical ventilation in preterm infants.

Follow-Up and Monitoring of Children Needing Long Term Home Ventilation
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020 Once continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is started in a child, and the child is discharged home, follow-up needs to be organized with regular visits in order to check the tolerance and efficacy of the treatment ...

Non-invasive Ventilation in Children With Neuromuscular Disease
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020 The respiratory muscles are rarely spared in children with neuromuscular diseases (NMD) which puts them at risk of alveolar hypoventilation. The role of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is then to assist or “replace” the weakened respiratory muscles in ...
