Mechanical Ventilation in ARDS

Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2019
Mechanical ventilation is the primary supportive, invasive measure utilized in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Throughout the years, many large multicenter randomized controlled trials and observational studies were analyzed to determine what ventilator parameters to use that would produce a mortality benefit after initial diagnosis.

Mechanical Ventilation in the Home

Critical Care Clinics, 1990
Despite advances in the application of mechanical ventilation as a short-term, life-saving technique, intensive care units are increasingly faced with patients who cannot be weaned from ventilatory assistance and who require mechanical ventilation as a long-term, life-supporting necessity.

Progress in mechanical ventilation

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2002
Mechanical ventilation is a life-supporting process employed in the management of respiratory failure. Over the years, our understanding of the pathophysiology of lung injury has greatly improved, and has aided the technological development of ventilatory modes that are more patient 'sensitive' and less traumatizing to the lungs.

Mechanical ventilation strategies

Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2017
Although only a small proportion of full term and late preterm infants require invasive respiratory support, they are not immune from ventilator-associated lung injury. The process of lung damage from mechanical ventilation is multifactorial and cannot be linked to any single variable.

Discontinuation of Mechanical Ventilation

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1988
The vast majority of patients who undergo mechanical ventilation are able to discontinue ventilatory assistance within a few days. Typically, patients who require only short-term mechanical ventilation do not have severe underlying lung disease, and the problem for which they require ventilatory support is most commonly rapidly reversible.

Principles of mechanical ventilation

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2002
Mechanical ventilation is an enormous undertaking for a veterinary hospital in general and for any patient in particular. It is a team effort requiring large amounts of space, supplies, labor, and time. It requires committed owners and clinicians who communicate clearly with each other. It also requires a significant financial commitment initially from

Intermittent Mechanical Ventilation

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1988
More than 150 years have passed since the birth of the idea of intermittent mechanical ventilation. Many types of ventilatory disorders can result in excessive loading of the respiratory muscles, thus causing them to fail. We now have several types of ventilatory assist devices to choose from so that we can select a system that fulfills the physical ...

Complications of Mechanical Ventilation

Respiratory Care Clinics of North America, 2000
Outcomes of critically ill patients are affected by the severity of the acute illnesses and by complications that may result from treatments. This article reviews the major complications associated with mechanical ventilation. Special emphasis is placed on recent advances in the understanding of ventilator-induced lung injury and strategies to avoid ...

Opioids and Mechanical Ventilation

Current Drug Targets, 2009
In last years opioids have been increasingly utilized to sedate patients during mechanical ventilation. First, in Hypnotic Based Sedation (HBS), they were added to hypnotics because of their analgesic properties. Successively, in Analgesic Based Sedation (ABS), both sedative and analgesic properties were utilized and opioids were given alone; hypnotics
