I presume you're referring to the weaning process. The only setting that I can think of in which this might not work is that in which very high PEEP settings are required (eg, ≥ 15 cm H2O PEEP in ...
Objective: To obtain optimal titration of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during mechanical ventilation with functional residual capacity and ventilation homogeneity measurements. Design: ...
High-frequency ventilation (HFV) is advocated as a lung protective ventilation strategy for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm newborn infants. HFV has proven particularly ...
In the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may decrease ventilator-induced lung injury by keeping lung regions open that otherwise would be collapsed.
There is currently little specific evidence about the appropriate respiratory support for very preterm infants immediately after birth (1). Ventilatory strategies in the delivery room may play an ...
Mechanical ventilation, the use of a machine to help a person breathe, was not something many people thought about all that often—until the COVID pandemic struck. Stories of patients being put on ...
