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

To evaluate the feasibility of using the pressure support ventilation with volume guarantee (PSV-VG) as an initial ventilatory mode in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) after ...

During the weaning of a patient from mechanical ventilation, what is the maximum level of pressure support that can be reasonably set? And how do you determine pressure support levels? Please provide ...

I presume you're referring to the weaning process. The only setting that I can think of in which this might not work is that in which very high PEEP settings are required (eg, ≥ 15 cm H2O PEEP in ...

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 ...

Out-of-hospital noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) in patients with severe respiratory distress significantly reduced rates of inhospital mortality and need for invasive ventilation, ...

The need for reintubation after extubation and discontinuation of mechanical ventilation is not uncommon and is associated with increased mortality. Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation has been ...

Parents and carers have the right to be involved in planning and making decisions about their baby's health and care, and to be given information and support to enable them to do this, as set out in ...

A seven-year international, multi-centre clinical trial led by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute (LHSCRI) and St. Michael's Hospital, a site of Unity Health Toronto, has found that a ...
