In a subgroup of studies that included patients with severe COPD exacerbations (defined as pH<7.3 or in-hospital mortality rate of >10% in the control group), NPPV reduced mortality (by 12% ...

Respiratory modules are medical devices used to assist patients to breathe. The aim of this article is to develop a control method that achieves exact tracking of a time-varying target pressure, for ...

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of these factors on ICU mortality in patients with ARDS undergoing pressure-controlled ventilation. Methods: In this retrospective study, we included 600 adult ...

The following is a summary of “Spontaneous breathing trial with pressure support on positive end-expiratory pressure and extensive use of non-invasive ventilation versus T-piece in difficult-to-wean ...

Negative pressure ventilation is the most common method of ventilating poultry houses during cold weather worldwide. Exhaust fans are used to bring in a precise amount of fresh air, while air inlets ...

Incorrect/poorly managed pressure control to maintain air flow from clean to dirty areas. Extraction fans running constantly or at a higher speed than the air volume to the incubators/hatchers.

We connected to the inspiratory valve of an ICU ventilator a T-piece ( Figure 2 – A ). This piece was connected to a Y-piece of flextube and connected to two pressure regulators (pressure range of 16 ...

COVID-19. Among all laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases, 14% were hospitalized, with 2% admitted to intensive care units (ICU) with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring mechanical ...
