Endotracheal tube was connected with ventilator tube for mechanical ventilation after suctioning.
Respiratory complications were defined as: development of acute respiratory distress syndrome [ 17]; ventilator-associated pneumonia [ 18]; or initiation of mechanical ventilation after 3 ICU days, excluding cases of reintubation resulting from extubation failure.
In 3 of 4 patients on mechanical ventilation after intubation, the total respiratory compliance was calculated from ventilator settings, as tidal volume/ plateau – end-expiratory pressure), in mL/cm H2O.
To determine the criteria for postoperative mechanical ventilation after thymectomy in patients with Myasthenia Gravis.
To study the postoperative factors associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation after cardiac surgery in children.
Conclusion: The data suggest that extending mechanical ventilation after CABG surgery does not affect pulmonary function.
Duration of mechanical ventilation after completion of cardiopulmonary bypass is the primary clinical outcome parameter with multiple secondary clinical and hemodynamic parameters.
The predictors of prolonged mechanical ventilation after aortic arch surgery with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest have not been comprehensively evaluated.
Cohorts of 12 infants requiring mechanical ventilation after open heart surgery were enrolled sequentially to 1 of the 3 initial loading dose-continuous IV infusion (CIVI) regimens: 0.35-0.25, 0.7-0.5, or 1-0.75 1-0.75/kg-microg/kg/h.
We reviewed the current evidence on the benefit and harm of pre-hospital tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation after traumatic brain injury (TBI).
The use of prophylactic non-invasive mechanical ventilation after extubation has been increasing, but the evidence for its use is not yet clear.
