Mechanically ventilated patients’ respiratory function can be improved with pulmonary rehabilitation, especially IMT and NMES.

In January 2008, new ventilators (Engstrom Carestation) providing continuous tidal volume information were introduced supported by a regular targeted ventilation training package. The percentage ...

The average tidal volume is 0.5 litres (500 ml). Minute ventilation (VE) is the total volume of air entering the lungs in a minute. The average minute ventilation is 6 litres per minute.

This is called minute ventilation. To calculate minute ventilation, we also need to know about breathing rate and tidal volume. Breathing rate (or frequency, f) is the number of breaths taken in ...

China: A new meta-analysis published in BMC Pulmonary Medicine found that pulmonary rehabilitation in mechanically ventilated ...
