Improving Care for the Ventilated Patient
The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Safety, 2004Despite evidence that the use of specific interventions can decrease morbidity and mortality for patients receiving mechanical ventilation, a gap exists between best evidence and practice. A prospective cohort study was conducted in a surgical intensive care unit (ICU) that included all patients who were mechanically ventilated.

Variable ventilation improves ventilation and lung compliance in preterm lambs
Intensive Care Medicine, 2011In adult animals, ventilation with variable tidal volume and rate improves lung mechanics, arterial oxygenation and ventilation compared to a monotonously controlled ventilation pattern. We assessed the physiological consequences of variable ventilation in the immature lung.Lambs delivered at 129 days (term = 150 days) were euthanised (n = 9) or ...

Clinical Ventilator Adjustments That Improve Speech
Chest, 2003We sought to improve speech in tracheostomized individuals receiving positive-pressure ventilation. Such individuals often speak with short phrases, long pauses, and have problems with loudness and voice quality.We studied 15 adults with spinal cord injuries or neuromuscular diseases receiving long-term ventilation.The ventilator was adjusted using ...

Ventilator-associated Pneumonia Improvement Program
AACN Advanced Critical Care, 2007Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a significant clinical problem associated with increased intensive care unit and hospital length of stay and substantial increases in delivery cost and associated morbidity and mortality. With system changes and management of the environment of care, the incidence of VAP was reduced in seven of our intensive ...

ADDITIONAL ROOF VENTILATORS TO IMPROVE LEEWARD VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Acta Horticulturae, 2012Windward ventilation increases ventilation rates in greenhouses compared to leeward ventilation. However, in areas such as the Canary Islands tomato greenhouses use to be large and, furthermore, are located in areas with hard-blowing winds which involves wind damage to crops (through side vents) and to windward roof vents.

Improving Nutrition in Mechanically Ventilated Patients
Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 2015Although proper diet has been found to play an important role in patient outcomes, studies have shown that intensive care unit patients often receive inadequate nutrition. Moreover, it has been found that critically ill patients who are mechanically ventilated regularly receive even less nutrition. Inadequate nutrition has been associated with impaired
