BACKGROUND: Extubation failure leading to reintubation is associated with high mortality. In patients at high-risk of extubation failure, clinical practice guidelines recommend prophylactic non-invasive ventilation (NIV) over high-flow nasal oxygen (...
The measurement of tidal volumes via respiratory-induced surface movements of the upper body has been an objective in medical diagnostics for decades, but a real breakthrough has not yet been achieved. The improvement of measurement technology throug...
Mechanical ventilation is the process through which breathing support is provided to patients who face inconvenience during respiration. During the pandemic, many people were suffering from lung disorders, which elevated the demand for mechanical ven...
We aimed to compare the ability of carotid corrected flow time assessed by ultrasound and the changes in dynamic preload indices induced by tidal volume challenge predicting fluid responsiveness in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic gyne...
OBJECTIVE: High tidal volume ventilation is associated with ventilator-induced lung injury. Early introduction of lung protective ventilation improves patient outcomes. This study describes ventilator management during critical care transport and the...
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of ventilation with low tidal volume and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy (RARC) for bladde...
Mechanical ventilation is a lifesaving tool and provides organ support for patients with respiratory failure. However, injurious ventilation due to inappropriate delivery of high tidal volume can initiate or potentiate lung injury. This could lead to...
Respiratory parameters change during post-natal development, but the nature of their changes have not been well-described. The advent of commercially available plethysmographic instruments provided improved repeatability of measurements and standardi...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Acute chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations (AECOPD) have a significant negative impact on the quality of life and accelerate progression of the disease. Functional respiratory imaging (FRI) has the potential t...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Long-term survival after lung transplantation (LTx) is limited by bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), defined as a sustained decline in forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV) not explained by other causes. W...
