Aug 8th, 2022 - Effective cough is a protective mechanism against respiratory tract infections. COPD patients may have impaired cough and a reduction in peak cough flows(PCF) as a result of inspiratory and expiratory muscle weakness, which causes a reduction in t...

Aug 5th, 2022 - To investigate the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of barotrauma (pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema) in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients. To describe the chest radiography patterns of barotrauma and understand the develop...

Jul 27th, 2022 - There may be physiologic and pathologic pulmonary changes because of inflammatory cytokine release during total hip replacement surgery due to surgical invasivity or advanced age, comorbidities, perioperative immobility of patients. Also intraoper...

Jul 18th, 2022 - Approach Considerations Noninvasive ventilation (NIV; see the video below) is a popular method of adult respiratory management in both the emergency department (ED) and the intensive care unit (ICU), and it is increasingly used in the care of pedi...

Jul 14th, 2022 - The posteroanterior (PA) and lateral view CXRs, as well as the CT scan, revealed the presence of retrosternal air and confirmed the patient’s diagnosis of pneumomediastinum. Pneumomediastinum—the presence of free air in the mediastinum—can develop.

Jul 11th, 2022 - Mechanical ventilation is applied to millions of healthy and sick lungs every year in perioperative conditions and intensive care units. Meanwhile, the energy applied to the lungs by the ventilator during mechanical ventilation is usually used to ...

Jul 8th, 2022 - High flow, low pressure oxygen will be supplied in microlaryngoscopy airway surgery. These procedures are usually performed with jet ventilation (UAB) or intermittent apnea (surgery centers). Jet ventilation provides oxygenation with limited venti...

May 19th, 2022 - The aim of the present prospective randomised study is to compare differences in levels of carbon dioxide between two different endotracheal tube-sizes. Background: High Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV) has become an important technique for ventil...

Jul 14th, 2022 - The posteroanterior (PA) and lateral view CXRs, as well as the CT scan, revealed the presence of retrosternal air and confirmed the patient’s diagnosis of pneumomediastinum. Pneumomediastinum—the presence of free air in the mediastinum—can develop.

Jun 13th, 2022 - I recall early in the pandemic being called to the bedside to examine an acutely decompensating patient with COVID-19. This was a 33-year-old, previously healthy woman, admitted to the medical ICU with hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring mecha.

Mar 17th, 2022 - I'm going to assume if you're reading this that you already know what transpulmonary pressure (PL) is and how esophageal manometry works. I'll provide a brief description here, but if you're looking for an in-depth review , I'd recommend a few of ...
