Partial Liquid Ventilation Ventilates Better than Gas Ventilation

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2000
Partial liquid ventilation (PLV) improves oxygenation in several models of lung injury. However, PLV has only been compared with conventional gas ventilation (GV) with low PEEP. Both PLV and GV can markedly improve oxygenation when PEEP is set above the lower corner pressure (Plc) on the inspiratory pressure-volume (P-V) curve of the total respiratory ...

Noninvasive Ventilation

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1994
We used bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation (BiPAP; Respironics, Inc.) through a nasal mask to ventilate 57 consecutive, unselected patients with acute respiratory failure who were unresponsive to oxygen and medical therapy alone. We applied noninvasive positive pressure ventilation for almost 22 hours daily, with a median inspiratory positive

Neonatal ventilation

Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2010
Preventing ventilation-induced lung injury and bronchopulmonary dysplasia is an important goal in the care of ventilated neonates. Recently, there have been tremendous efforts to improve ventilation strategies, which aim at ventilating with a 'protective' and 'open-lung' strategy.
