The ARDSNet trial of limited tidal volume (TV) has dictated ventilator settings for almost two decades. [1] The premise is fairly simple: If TVs are controlled and plateau pressure is less than 30 cm ...

Despite a shift to noninvasive respiratory support, mechanical ventilation remains an essential tool in the care of critically ill neonates. The availability of a variety of technologically advanced ...

There is no evidence that pressure control ventilation is superior to volume ventilation in patients with ARDS. This statement assumes that the tidal volumes being used are in line with the recent ...

Continuous airflow measurements during anesthesia monitoring, intensive care treatment, and in clinical and ambulatory environments provide important information for the assessment of ...

Research exploring protective mechanical ventilation strategies for acute respiratory distress syndrome was presented at the ERS Congress by Luca Menga, MD, University of Toronto. Preclinical data ...

GE has warned users of the Carestation platform not to use the “volume control ventilation mode” until the device is corrected. When in VCV mode, certain devices may fail to provide effective ...

Mechanical ventilation saves lives, but the airflow it produces inside an intubated airway can also shape conditions linked to complications during long-term support. In a recent study, SUNY ...

Jordan, a 32-year-old man with chronic, poorly controlled asthma, has been in the emergency department for 1 hour with only partial response to aggressive bronchodilator therapy and a single ...

As the use and spread of ventilators continues to grow so a CMOSens Technology has established a new generation of flow sensors. By Andreas Alt. Continuous airflow measurements during anaesthesia ...
