There is no evidence that pressure control ventilation is superior to volume ventilation in patients with ARDS. This statement assumes that the tidal volumes being used are in line with the recent ...

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) synchronizes spontaneous respiratory effort with mechanical ventilation. Electrodes detect the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) and transmit this ...

I've always thought the debate between airway pressure-release ventilation (APRV) and more conventional modes (mainly variations of assist-control) was focused on 2 questions. First, are you more ...

Survival of patients with acute lung injury or the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been improved by ventilation with small tidal volumes and the use of positive end-expiratory pressure ...
