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 ...

March 27, 2012 — Reducing breath size and pressure settings for mechanical ventilators used in intensive care units can substantially improve long-term survival in patients with acute lung injury (ACI ...

Ventilator-induced injury to the lungs can contribute to prolonged respiratory failure and even death among patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Even post-operative patients with ...

It is common for poor synchrony to occur in both invasive and noninvasive mechanical ventilation. It is a serious problem that may lead to increased patient discomfort, prolonged mechanical ...

In October, the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences hosted a conference on negative pressure ventilation, a less common but useful breathing therapy alternative.

Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation is a type of mechanical ventilation that does not require an artificial airway. Studies published in the 1990s that evaluated the efficacy of this technique ...

Ventilator-induced injury in the lungs is responsible for a vast number of deaths in acute respiratory distress syndrome. Even healthy surgical patients, who require temporary mechanical ventilation, ...
