Low tidal volume ventilation is a lung protective strategy that seeks to prevent ventilator ... The number of ventilator-free days is the mean number of days from day 1 to day 28 on which the patient ...

Low tidal volume ventilation (LTVV) is one of the interventions specifically designed to prevent ventilator-associated conditions (VAC). For patients without acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) ...

Proportional assist ventilation is a promising addition to other more conventional modes of mechanical ventilation with the theoretical advantage of improving patient-ventilator interaction. It may ...

Methods The patient was an elderly female without known abnormality of the airway, who had been in a temperature-controlled environment at 4 degrees centigrade for 32 hours after death with no other ...

Objective Upper airway distention during mask ventilation could reduce gas volumes entering the lung compared with ventilation via an endotracheal tube. Therefore, respiratory tract volumes were ...
