Our study and others generated conflicting data regarding the inflammatory response after hyperoxic ventilation describing both pro- [15, 17, 38, 39] and anti-inflammatory [40, 41] responses.
Therefore, the recommendations are similar to those for pressure support ventilation, described above.
Any successful future strategies will undoubtedly employ the concepts of lung-protective ventilation described above.
This literature review was focused on manual ventilation describing its history and the main devices currently used with their own advantages and hazards.
Superimposed high-frequency jet ventilation (SHFJV) is a special form of combined high-frequency jet ventilation described in other studies as an effective respiratory therapy of acute lung injury (ALI) patients.
Proportional assist ventilation (PAV), described by Younes [1], was the first ventilator mode that introduced the concept of 'patient-driven' ventilation: a patient's effort could influence not only the timing but also the magnitude of the ventilator assistance.
We analyzed the the center of ventilation (CoV), which describes the well-ventilated areas of the lung with 0% for ventilation occurring only in the ventral region and 100% for a ventilation only in the dorsal region.
All changes in acid-base status occurred despite our attempts to ensure sufficient ventilation, as described in the 'Materials and methods' section.
Using combined suspension laryngoscopy, flexible bronchoscopy, and jet ventilation, we describe a technique that makes challenging bronchoscopic interventions such as self-expandable Y-shaped airway stent delivery easy, precise, and safe.
Myocardial infarction of the left ventricle was induced by ligature of the left descending coronary artery performed under general anesthesia [1 mL.kg−1 i.p. ketamine (Imalgene 500, Merial) and 0.5 mL.kg−1 i.p. xylazine (Rompun, Bayer)] and positive pressure ventilation, as described [30].
