D. Patients under noninvasive ventilation: Ventilator with a high-performance NIV mode.
The lambs were administered with pressure-regulated ventilation using a ventilator with initial settings as follows: FiO2 = 1, positive end-expiratory pressure, 5 cmH20, peak inspiratory pressure 30 cmH20, frequency 60/min, and I E 1 2.
Rats were anesthetized and ventilated via a tracheal cannulation and ventilated via a pressure controlled ventilator with 1% isoflurane at a peak inspiratory pressure of 15 cm H2O and a respiratory rate of 60 breaths/min.
The trachea was intubated and the lungs were mechanically ventilated using a pressure controlled ventilator, with peak inspiratory pressure between 15 and 17 cm H2O and a respiratory rate between 60 and 70 breaths per minute and no additional PEEP, to a target partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) near 40 mmHg (Kent Scientific Corp., Torrington, CT 06790).
The animals were ventilated with a volume controlled ventilator with 5 cm of H2O end-expiratory pressure.
The animals were ventilated with a volume-controlled ventilator with a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cm H2O (Servo 900C; Siemens, Dietikon, Switzerland).
The animals were ventilated with a volume-controlled ventilator with a positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cm H2O (Servo 900C; Siemens, Solna, Sweden).
Rats were ventilated with a peak-pressure ventilator, with initial tidal volume set at 1 ml/100 g and adjusted as needed, on the basis of arterial blood gas levels.
All infants were ventilated with a Babylog 8000 infant ventilator with NO-Domo adapter.
Noninvasive ventilation was provided via an ICU ventilator with noninvasive mode or via a portable pressure-cycled ventilator through an oronasal mask as the first choice.
NIPPV was delivered with a full-face mask (Performax, Philips Respironics), connected to an ICU ventilator with a NIV mode Patients were ventilated in the mode pressure support.
