Better Outcomes for Ventilation With Lower Tidal Volumes Protective ventilation with lower tidal volumes is associated with better clinical outcomes in patients without acute respiratory distress ...

On the third track of local rock band Tidal Volume’s forthcoming album, the speaker passionately laments thwarted romances with two distinct love interests. Titled “Jamie (Riley),” the song takes ...

Researchers performed a cross-sectional analysis of an electronic database for current intraoperative ventilation practices and found gender, height and weight may play a role in the incidence and ...

Among patients without acute respiratory distress syndrome, protective mechanical ventilation with use of lower tidal volumes (the volume of air inhaled and exhaled during each breath) was associated ...

Background: Over-ventilation causing low arterial carbon dioxide levels (PaCO2) has been associated with the development of neonatal chronic lung disease and adverse outcomes. This may occur very soon ...

Background: In anesthetized patients undergoing surgery, the role of lung-protective ventilation with lower tidal volumes is unclear. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Children with asthma and obesity breathe at higher tidal volumes, which may increase the efficiency of ...

WHEN a patient is unable to breathe by himself, the single most important responsibility of the physician is to provide adequate ventilation of the lungs. Artificial respiration during anesthesia may ...

Most patients requiring mechanical ventilation for acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) receive positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 to 12 cm of water. Higher ...

We assess the performance of the respiratory system by measuring how much air is inspired or expired each minute. This is called minute ventilation. To calculate minute ventilation, we also need to ...

Gender, height and weight may play a role in the incidence and risk factors involved in patients receiving large tidal volumes, according to a study published in BMC Anesthesiology 2011. The authors ...
