Sentence examples for mechanical ventilation model from inspiring English sources
The effects of heliox on pulmonary mechanics following severe methacholine-induced bronchospasm were investigated and compared to those of a nitrogen-oxygen gas mixture (nitrox) in an innovative pediatric porcine, independent lung, mechanical ventilation model.
The Portex Soft Seal high-volume, low-pressure cuffed tracheal tube was compared with the Mallinckrodt HiLo, Sheridan Preformed and Portex Profile tracheal tubes for leakage of dye placed in the subglottic space of a pig's trachea which was used in a benchtop mechanical ventilation model and in six isolated pig tracheas.
All patients enrolled in the study received mechanical ventilation (model Evita 2 Dura, Dräger, Germany) for at least 48 hours and when they met the recommended weaning criteria [ 3], they underwent their first spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) using low pressure support ventilation (PSV) [ 4].

Regarding multivariate analysis, two different models were performed, not including or including the days on mechanical ventilation in the model.
Injurious mechanical ventilation produces a model of ARDS characterized by hypoxemia and inflammation; however, the presumed mechanism is that of mechanotransduction of injurious forces rather than direct epithelial injury.
Therefore, mechanical ventilation-induced air-space enlargement results in the majority of cases from the interaction between infection and mechanical ventilation and our model is clinically relevant.
