Sentence examples for mechanical ventilation therefore from inspiring English sources

The use of neuromuscular blockade in some animals to guarantee controlled mechanical ventilation therefore cannot explain entirely the changes in cardiopulmonary function and ventilation distribution observed with persisting spontaneous breathing during APRV.

Our sub-analysis on trials that tested respiratory tract decontamination confirms these results, even if the sample analyzed is different because we included only pneumonia occurring in patients assisted by mechanical ventilation; therefore, we excluded the trials of Greenfield et al. [ 77] because data on colonization only was reported and of Klick et al. [ 78] for incomplete data on outcomes.

ECCO2R systems have been successfully used to reduce invasiveness of mechanical ventilation and, therefore, ventilator-induced lung injury in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients [ 7- 12].

We observed only moderate blood pressure drop in our animals following 7 hours of mechanical ventilation and therefore cardiogenic edema formation is unlikely to be the reason for the early increase in lung water content.

Mechanical ventilation is therefore recommended as a lung-protective strategy.

6 7 8 Mechanical ventilation should therefore probably be discontinued as soon as patients are capable of breathing independently.

We identified significant heterogeneity for administered surfactant and any mechanical ventilation and therefore these results must be interpreted with caution.

Time on mechanical ventilation could therefore be shortened and the postoperative alveolo-arterial oxygen gradient improved [ 10, 11].

For patients with MAS, conventional pressure-controlled mechanical ventilation might therefore be the only option available while waiting for other measures to be taken.

The study, however, had important strengths, including the fact that all patients were exposed to prolonged mechanical ventilation and therefore the associated risks of lung damage.

Patients receiving SC were younger, had lower APACHE II scores and were less likely to receive mechanical ventilation and, therefore, seemed to have a better prognosis.
