Ventilator Waveforms

Topics in Companion Animal Medicine, 2013
Ventilator waveforms are graphic representations of changes in pressure, flow, and volume within a ventilator circuit. The changes in these parameters over time may be displayed individually (scalars) or plotted one against another (pressure-volume and flow-volume loops).

PRONE VENTILATION

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2000
Considerable clinical experience confirms that oxygenation can be improved in many patients with ARDS by employing prone ventilation. The improvement occurs because, in the prone position, the lung fits into the thorax such that lung distention is more uniform and compressive forces extant in the supine position, which serve to cause dorsal airspace ...

Liquid ventilation

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2001
Partial liquid ventilation (PLV) developed considerably in the clinical and experimental fields during the past few years. In addition to improved oxygenation and lung mechanics by perfluorocarbon (PFC) administration, recent animal studies have tried to optimize PLV by evaluating the most appropriate ventilatory mode to use during PLV and by adjusting

Non-invasive Ventilation

2015
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) refers to the delivery of positive pressure to the airways and lungs in the absence of an intratracheal tube or an extra-glottic device. The term “NIV” includes both continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and any form of non-invasive inspiratory positive pressure ventilation (NPPV), in which an expiratory positive ...

Ventilation and ventilators — an update

Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 1988
In the five years which have passed since the previous review, the literature has been concerned more with the ways in which ventilators may be applied to patients and the effects of differing patterns of ventilation than with the design philosophy of the ventilators themselves. This account should be read in conjunction with that of 1982 [1].

Ventilation/Perfusion Changes During Mechanical Ventilation

Diseases of the Chest, 1969
Changes in arterial blood gases occurring during mechanical ventilation of a patient with extensive pulmonary disease have been presented. The Pa o2 and A-aDO 2 values observed in this patient demonstrate that various areas of V ˙ A / Q ˙ imbalance exist simultaneously in the diseased lung.

Ventilator triggering [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Pediatric Intensive Care, 2015
Allowing spontaneous respiration during mechanical ventilation requires that the ventilator system can interpret a trigger signal from the patient and then deliver a synchronous breath. The majority of current ventilators are triggered by preset changes in pressure or flow detected in the system as a patient is initiating a breath.

LOCAL VENTILATION

2001
Local ventilation is often a very important part of the ventilation system. It is used to diminish or, preferably, to prevent exposure to contaminants (including heat). This includes protection of persons or products from hazardous or nuisance contaminants. Efficient operation of a local ventilation system must account for exhaust flow field as well as

Mechanical ventilation

Nursing Standard, 1999
In this article Nigel Henderson discusses the nursing role in the mechanical ventilation of patients. He describes the different ventilator modes, and the physical and psychological care required by ventilated patients.

Liquid ventilation

Seminars in Perinatology, 2000
Liquid breathing has been proposed as a means of improving gas exchange in infants with acute respiratory failure since the 1970s. In addition, there are potential clinical applications of perfluorochemical (PFC) liquids that span many specialties in medicine.
