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 ...

Compared with pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV), volume-targeted ventilation is associated with decreased neonatal complications, including the combined outcome of death or bronchopulmonary ...

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 ...

In a retrospective study of 100 patients treated with prolonged mechanical ventilation, water retention without evidence of cardiac failure developed in 19. This was associated with radiologic ...

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 ...
