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 ...

In a retrospective study of 100 patients treated with prolonged mechanical ventilation, water retention without evidence of cardiac failure developed in 19. This was associated with radiologic ...

At the ongoing annual ACS NSQIP Conference in Chicago, physicians from the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia presented a risk score tool that can predict a person's dependence on ...

The American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) and the American Thoracic Society (ATS) have published new guidelines for discontinuing mechanical ventilation in critically ill adults. The goal of ...

Cervical spinal cord injuries (CSCI) present a formidable clinical challenge, often disrupting the neural pathways that govern respiratory function. This disruption can lead to diaphragmatic weakness ...

Artificial intelligence could be used in future to help guide when to use mechanical ventilation and the likelihood of complications in ventilation of patients. This is according to the first ...

Israeli medical device company, Hospitech Respiration, has developed a respiratory guard system which reduces ventilation complications in intubated patients and minimises the exposure of clinical ...

Mechanical ventilation saves lives, but the airflow it produces inside an intubated airway can also shape conditions linked to complications during long-term support. In a recent study, SUNY ...

The nSOFA score predicts prolonged mechanical ventilation in newborns with NRDS. Early risk stratification may improve NICU ...
