Airflow Analysis in Mechanically Ventilated Obstructed Rooms
It was concluded that for typical room flowrates and inlet types the room air distribution system is obstruction ratio independent. Local velocities and standard deviations varied with each obstruction setup and inlet combination. However, average air velocities and turbulence intensities were not …

Characterisation of manual chest physiotherapy and respiratory response in mechanically ventilated children
… physiotherapy is integral to the management of mechanically ventilated children and previous research has confirmed that chest wall vibrations are the manual techniques used most frequently by physiotherapists in this population. Chest wall vibrations involve the application of a compressive …

Early Versus Delayed Tracheostomy in Mechanically Ventilated Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
… We examined whether early tracheostomy in mechanically ventilated patients who have COPD was associated with lower 90-day all-cause in-hospital mortality. Methods: This retrospective analysis used the Health Facts database to study 72585 COPD patients who were hospitalized and mechanically …

Airborne Pollutant Spatial Distribution, Emission, and Ventilation Effectiveness for Mechanically Ventilated Livestock Buildings
CFD simulation was used to predict the spatial distribution of particles less than 10 mum in diameter (PM10) in the swine building. Results showed that the magnitude of the predicted concentrations was significantly higher than the measured concentrations which could be attributed to the assumption …

Automated Detection of Incomplete Exhalation as an Indirect Detection of Auto-PEEP on Mechanically Ventilated Adults
… as revealed by ventilator graphics for mechanically ventilated adults. Auto-PEEP can cause adverse effects if allowed to linger and if not quickly identified. An automated detection system will be instrumental in helping to quickly identify auto-PEEP. A computerized algorithm was …

Assessing patient and caregiver intent to use mobile device videoconferencing for remote mechanically-ventilated patient management
… provides an effective capability for remote mechanically-ventilated patient management but must rely upon an unknown infrastructure comprising patient and caregiver mobile device ownership, connectivity, and experience—and <em>intent to use</em> the service if provided. The purpose of this …

EFFECTS OF ARTIFICIALLY - INDUCED INTRINSIC POSITIVE END - EXPIRATORY PRESSURE IN MECHANICALLY VENTILATED PATIENTS WITH ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE.
… chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were mechanically ventilated in four experimental conditions, with the same RR and Vt. In one condition, PEEPe was zero (ZEEP); in the others, PEEPtot was constant, but obtained by either applying external PEEP (PEEPe) or shortening the duration of …

Development and validation of a biomarker-based model to predict persistent hypoxemic respiratory failure among mechanically ventilated adults
Background. Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (HRF) requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is a common and morbid condition, but treatment is largely supportive and most pharmacologic trials have been negative. The early clinical trajectory is heterogeneous, with most patients resolving …

Nurses' lived experience of caring for long-term mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care units : a phenomenological study
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 110-129).

The effect of live music therapy interventions on pediatric patients who are mechanically ventilated and sedated and their caregivers
… patients ages birth to two years who are mechanically ventilated and sedated as a result of a respiratory tract infection. The research aims were to: 1) Determine the effect of live music therapy interventions on heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate in patients who are …

Early sequelae of post COVID-19 lung disease in patients who were mechanically ventilated for severe COVID-19 pneumonia
Introduction: COVID-19 resulted in an unprecedented worldwide spike in hospital and ICU admissions; predominantly for adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Survival rates for patients requiring mechanical ventilation in Cape Town during the waves driven by the ancestral strain and beta …

A Prospective, Descriptive Study Evaluating The Evolution Of Covid-19 Associated Coagulopathy In Mechanically Ventilated, Critically-Ill Patients Using Standard Laboratory Coagulation Studies And Thromboelastography
Objectives: Few studies detail the evolution of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) associated coagulopathy in critically-ill patients. We aimed to perform serial thromboelastography (TEG) and laboratory coagulation studies on critically-ill patients with COVID-19 over a 14-day period, comparing …

RESPIRATORY PARAMETERS, PULMONARY REHABILITATION and SURVIVAL in COVID-19 PATIENTS
… sociodemographics, and multimorbidity of mechanically ventilated COVID-19 subjects are associated with survival; (2) determine the factors associated with physical function status after completing six weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) of COVID-19 subjects with persisting pulmonary …

Effect of Oral Care and Health Professional Education on Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia: A Pilot Study
… proper oral hygiene and techniques for mechanically ventilated patients. The hospital's infection control officer monitored the incidence of ventilator acquired pneumonia and compared the VAP rate for the study period with the rate from the previous year. A clinically significant …

An investigation into nonbronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage and endotracheal suctioning in critically ill infants and children
… investigated the effects on critically ill, mechanically ventilated paediatric patients of two related, frequently performed physiotherapy procedures: nonbronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage (NB-BAL) and endotracheal (ET) suctioning. General aims: To investigate un- or poody-documented …

Decreasing Risk of Delirium with Early Progressive Mobility
… <p>The goal to consistently mobilize the mechanically ventilated patient to decrease the risk or progression of delirium is the primary focus of my project. This project took place in two, 12-bed critical care units. One is a cardiovascular, medical, surgical intensive care unit and the …

Ventilation impact on indoor air quality problems in partitioned offices
… supplied air was uniformly distributed in the ventilated area under various conditions. At the same time, the contaminant distribution was influenced by almost all kinds of parameters in the office. It was the room air flow pattern but not the uniformity of the supplied air distribution which …

Development of an Occupant-centric Control Algorithm for Mixed-Mode Ventilation Buildings to Regulate Window Operations
… do not always achieve better performance than mechanically ventilated buildings, largely due to inappropriate window operations. Therefore, the sequences of operation for terminal devices serving zones with operable windows should be designed in recognition of these risks, which in turn should …

Losartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, fails to attenuate pulmonary dysfunction in ovine burn and smoke model
… 4ml/kg/%burn of Ringer's lactate and were mechanically ventilated. Control animals showed severe signs of acute lung injury evidenced by deterioration of pulmonary gas exchange (PaO2/FiO2, pulmonary shunt fraction), increased lung water content, and increased pulmonary transvascular fluid …
