Low-tidal-volume lung-protective ventilation during major abdominal surgery may reduce postoperative complications, according to a multicenter, double-blind, parallel-group randomized controlled trial ...

March 27, 2012 — Reducing breath size and pressure settings for mechanical ventilators used in intensive care units can substantially improve long-term survival in patients with acute lung injury (ACI ...

Research exploring protective mechanical ventilation strategies for acute respiratory distress syndrome was presented at the ERS Congress by Luca Menga, MD, University of Toronto. Preclinical data ...

Among patients without acute respiratory distress syndrome, protective mechanical ventilation with use of lower tidal volumes (the volume of air inhaled and exhaled during each breath) was associated ...

Lung-Protective Ventilation Ups Outcomes Post-Abdominal Op After major abdominal surgery, lung-protective ventilation with the use of low tidal volumes and positive end-expiratory pressure is ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of intraoperative protective ventilation on major postoperative respiratory complications and to define safe intraoperative mechanical ventilator settings that do not ...

A lung-protective ventilation strategy requires optimal PEEP and tidal volume settings. Finding and maintaining these crucial settings during the course of therapy is challenging - even for ...

Background: In anesthetized patients undergoing surgery, the role of lung-protective ventilation with lower tidal volumes is unclear. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette that includes a therapeutic recommendation. A discussion of the clinical problem and the mechanism of benefit of this form of therapy follows. Major ...

The mechanism behind volutrauma is two-fold: one part increased alveolar-capillary permeability and one part increased transmural pressure. As alveoli become overdistended, the alveolar epithelium ...

The use of mechanical ventilation can save lives - and not just for COVID-19 patients who develop severe respiratory problems. But at the same time, the ventilation pressure puts immense stress on ...
