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 ...
We investigated the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and tidal volume (V T) on lung aeration, pulmonary mechanics, and the distribution of ventilation immediately after birth using a ...
This Journal feature begins with a case vignette that includes a therapeutic recommendation. A discussion of the clinical problem and the mechanism of benefit of this form of therapy follows. Major ...
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 ...
Research suggests automated alerts to anesthesiologists’ pagers may increase their use of lung-protective ventilation strategies for patients with suspected acute lung injury, according to an ...
