Of the patients enrolled, 92% required intubation and mechanical ventilation, with 55% ventilated at recruitment (ICU day 5).
All patients were receiving mechanical ventilation with a Servoi ventilator (Maquet).
Mechanical ventilation with high tidal volumes may cause ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and enhanced generation of nitric oxide (NO).
Prolonged controlled mechanical ventilation with normocapnia is associated with a diaphragm contractility impairment and ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction.
Thirty minutes of mechanical ventilation with PEEP identical to AP moderately improved oxygenation and respiratory mechanics.
We therefore tested whether mechanical ventilation with normal tidal volumes augmented inflammatory responses via a TLR4-dependent mechanism.
Hemodynamic responses to mechanical ventilation with PEEP: the effect of hypervolemia.
Neonatal chronic lung disease (nCLD) affects a significant number of neonates receiving mechanical ventilation with oxygen-rich gas (MV-O2).
Despite the use of mechanical ventilation with a low tidal volume, it is difficult to effectively prevent, reduce and treat ALI/ARDS3.
Lung protective mechanical ventilation with optimal lung recruitment is the mainstay of supportive therapy.
During volume assist control mechanical ventilation, with constant flow.
