Helium oxygen mixtures in the intensive care unit
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
Heliox, a mixture of helium and oxygen, has a density that is less than that of air. Breathing heliox leads to a reduction in resistance to flow within the airways,... -

Heliox improves pulmonary mechanics in a pediatric porcine model of induced severe bronchospasm and independent lung mechanical ventilation
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
Background: A helium-oxygen gas mixture (heliox) has low gas density and low turbulence and resistance through narrowed airways. The effects of heliox on pulmonary... -

Helium-oxygen mixture does not improve gas exchange in mechanically ventilated children with bronchiolitis
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
Varying concentrations of helium-oxygen (heliox) mixtures were evaluated in mechanically ventilated children with bronchiolitis. We hypothesized that, with an...
