Analysis of Medical Resource Utilization and Outcome of Inhaled Nitric Oxide in Patients Undergoing Mechanical Ventilation

International Journal of Gerontology, 2015
Background: Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is a potent selective pulmonary vasodilator, which is used in critically ill patients to improve oxygenation. It avoids systemic hypotension and ventilator-induced lung injury in patients using ventilators.

Modification of an adult ventilator to an infant ventilator [PDF]

Canadian Anaesthetists’ Society Journal, 1972
A simple modification of a ventilator from use in adults to use in infants is described using only a few inexpensive and readily available components; the system is easily set up, involving little time for the changeover. Since the components are compact and lightweight, there is improved observation of the patient and the chance of accidental ...
