Biphasic positive airway pressure ventilation (PeV+) in children
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
Background: Biphasic positive airway pressure (BIPAP) (also known as PeV+) is a mode of ventilation with cycling variations between two continuous positive airway... -
Federal
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,... -
Federal
Mechanical ventilation in rural ICUs
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
Background: In recent years, rural hospitals have expanded their scope of specialized services, which has led to the development and staffing of rural intensive care... -

The attributable mortality and length of intensive care unit stay of clinically important gastrointestinal bleeding in critically ill patients
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
Objective To estimate the mortality and length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) attributable to clinically important gastrointestinal bleeding in mechanically... -
Federal
Fluctuations of inspired concentrations of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide during mechanical ventilation
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
Background: Nitric oxide (NO) is a very reactive agent with potentially toxic oxidation products such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Therefore, during NO inhalation a... -
Federal
A new prototype of an electronic jet-ventilator and its humidification system
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
Background: Adequate humidification in long-term jet ventilation is a critical aspect in terms of clinical safety. Aim: To assess a prototype of an electronic jet-... -

Pro/con ethics debate: Should mechanical ventilation be continued to allow for progression to brain death so that organs can be donated?
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
Organ transplants continue to redefine medical frontiers. Unfortunately, current demand for organs far surpasses availability, waiting lists are long and many people... -
Federal
Equipment review: Mechanical effects of heat-moisture exchangers in ventilated patients
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
Although they represent a valuable alternative to heated humidifiers, artificial noses have unfavourable mechanical effects. Most important of these is the increase... -

A new device for 100 per cent humidification of inspired air
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
A new humidifier for use during mechanical ventilation in endotracheally intubated patients is described and tested. The humidifier is based on a heat-moisture... -
Federal
Using heart-lung interactions to assess fluid responsiveness during mechanical ventilation
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services —
According to the Frank-Starling relationship, a patient is a 'responder' to volume expansion only if both ventricles are preload dependent. Mechanical ventilation...
