As with conventional EMV, NIPPV aims to deliver adequate tidal volumes to enhance gas exchange. Toward this goal, ventilator parameters such as positive end-expiratory pressure, peak inspiratory ...
Despite the advent of new strategies to prevent and treat respiratory distress such as prenatal steroids and surfactant therapy, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains a major complication in ...
Objective: To obtain optimal titration of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during mechanical ventilation with functional residual capacity and ventilation homogeneity measurements. Design: ...
Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) reduced the risk of requiring invasive ventilation and developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia by nearly half compared with nasal continuous ...
Three main methods of noninvasive support are used in the acute care setting: a high flow of gas delivered through a large-bore nonocclusive nasal cannula (i.e., high-flow nasal cannula), continuous ...
To the Editor: In an article entitled "Pulmonary Complications and Water Retention in Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation" Sladen et al. 1 mention that many investigators have studied the effects of ...
In a keynote presentation at ATS 2024, Hannah Wunsch, MD, MSc, of Weill Cornell Medicine, delved into how the history of breathing support dating back to the 1700s has set the stage for ventilation ...
