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 ...

Drs. Ahmed Abdelaal and Aarthi Sekaran recently published a paper in a special issue of MDPI's Fluids, which shows that endotracheal tube cuff design and ventilator mode significantly alter airflow ...

What is patient/ventilator synchrony? Broadly speaking, a patient and ventilator are in synchrony when the settings on the ventilator are matched with what the patient's respiratory system is trying ...

Despite a shift to noninvasive respiratory support, mechanical ventilation remains an essential tool in the care of critically ill neonates. The availability of a variety of technologically advanced ...

Key Criteria for Safe and Effective UseA mechanical ventilator is not just another piece of equipment in an intensive care unit. For a clinic, multi-specialty hospital, ICU, or operating room, it is ...

LONDON, ON – A seven-year international, multi-centre clinical trial led by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute (LHSCRI) and St. Michael’s Hospital, a site of Unity Health Toronto, has ...

The delivery of positive-pressure–ventilator support without an endotracheal tube was first studied in the 1930s. 1 Now known as noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV), it can be used to ...
