Air quality in confined spaces can change in an instant—and assumptions can be costly. Here’s why continuous monitoring and ...

This constant positive pressure improves lung volumes, ventilation–perfusion mismatch, and the work of breathing, thus improving gas exchange. 10 By improving gas exchange, CPAP can reverse or avert ...

In the Experimental Group, two patients did not receive 1-hour positive pressure ventilation according to protocol but were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. Noninvasive ventilation and/or ...

Introduction Automatic titration modes of non-invasive ventilation, including average volume assured pressure support (AVAPS), are hybrid technologies that target a set volume by automated adjustment ...

This includes positive pressure therapy, which involves placing a tube into the ear that is attached to a pump. The pump generates waves of pressure, which may help to reduce some symptoms of ...

Non-invasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (NHFOV) consists of the application of a bias flow generating a continuous distending positive pressure with superimposed oscillations, which have ...

Objective To compare the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) versus usual care for prehospital patients with severe respiratory distress. Methods We conducted a parallel group, ...
