A lung-protective ventilation strategy requires optimal PEEP and tidal volume settings. Finding and maintaining these crucial settings during the course of therapy is challenging - even for ...

The blower unit TurboVent2 enables spontaneous breathing on both pressure levels (real BiPAP ventilation). The availabilty of CPAP in Man/Spont mode and active PEEP regulation keeps even the lungs ...

Mechanical ventilation is the inevitable treatment, but it must ensure specific levels of alveolar pressure, tidal volume, and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) not to exacerbate inflammation ...

then mechanical ventilator with lung protective strategy was used. Diagnosis of leptospirosis with diffuse alveolar haemorrhage was made. Refractory hypoxaemia was not responsive to positive ...

S Baudouin, S Blumenthal, B Cooper, C Davidson, A Davison, M Elliot, W Kinnear (Chairman), R Paton, E Sawicka, L Turner (Secretary) Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) refers to the provision of ...

By 1555 Vesalius had described assisted positive pressure ventilation and in 1667 Hooke used a pair of bellows to keep a dog alive in his demonstration to the Royal Society. By the mid-1800s it was ...

13 For many reasons, ICU patients may not be suitable candidates for IMT while ventilator-dependent (eg, due to sedation or delirium) and may only have sufficient cognitive capacity to participate in ...
