Factors associated with failure to wean children from mechanical ventilators
Background Patients with failure to wean from mechanical ventilators in 48 hours have increased risk of morbidity, however only a few protocols can be used for children. Objective To assess possible factors associated with failure to wean from mechanical

Mechanical ventilator test protocol for care of patients with COVID-19 in porcine model
As a result of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, health systems globally have seen a dramatic increase in the occupancy of intensive care units, with mechanical ventilators being a resource in high demand in the care of these patients.

Simulink Modelling For Simulating Intensive Care Mechanical Ventilators [PDF]
This paper proposes a modelling approach for simulating mechanical ventilators for intensive care units (ICUs). The shortage of ventilators during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has focused attention on their design and performance. The

Mechanical ventilation of mice [PDF]
Due to growing interest in murine functional genomics research, there is an increasing need for physiological stable in vivo murine models. Of special importance is support and control of ventilation by artificial respiration, which is difficult to execute as a consequence of the small size of the animal and the technically demanding breathing pattern.

Chest Physiotherapy as an Adjunct in a Mechanically Ventilated Infant with Atelectasis: A Case Report [PDF]
Atelectasis occurs due to impaired airway clearance or complete airway obstruction caused by inflammation, leading to the collapse of tiny airways either partially or completely. This results in impaired exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen.

The effect of local ventilation on airborne viral transmission in indoor spaces [PDF]
We incorporate local ventilation effects into a spatially dependent generalisation of the Wells--Riley model of airborne viral transmission. Aerosol production and removal through ventilation (global and local), biological deactivation, and gravitational settling as well as transport around a recirculating air-conditioning flow and turbulent mixing are
