Researchers from the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) have devised a way to lower the health risks of using endotracheal ...

A recent study published in BMC Geriatrics analyzing health and long-term care insurance data from Tsukuba City has provided ...

The Golf R swings with the heavy-hitters of the hot hatch world and Volkswagen has given it an '8.5' series boost in terms of ...

Too much respiratory effort can injure both the lung and the diaphragm, whereas too much ventilator support with unduly high ...

Introduction Lower tidal volume ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a strategy to reduce the plateau pressure and driving pressure to limit ventilator-induced ...

However, this can lead to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), which contributes ... apparent from current surrogates of lung mechanics (e.g., tidal volume and plateau pressure). In this study, we ...

By performing an end-inspiratory airway occlusion, the difference between the peak and plateau airway pressure, which is defined as pressure muscle index (PMI), can be easily measured on the ...

Therefore, ventilation strategies focused on limiting these parameters ... 3,5 we also reported static driving pressure (using end-inspiratory plateau pressure instead of peak inspiratory pressure) ...

Subsequently, the PCV mode was switched to the VCV mode using the inspiratory pause of 1 second, to obtain the plateau pressure. After 3 minutes the parameters were recorded and returned to the ...
