As with conventional EMV, NIPPV aims to deliver adequate tidal volumes to enhance gas exchange. Toward this goal, ventilator parameters such as positive end-expiratory pressure, peak inspiratory ...

NPPV has been progressively implemented in our tertiary care university PICU since 1997. Our unit is composed of 18 beds, receiving patients from the neonatal period until the age of 17 yrs. We ...

Preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) face heightened risks of death, critical illness, and prolonged hospitalization, particularly if they progress to develop acute respiratory ...

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 ...

Out-of-hospital noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) in patients with severe respiratory distress significantly reduced rates of inhospital mortality and need for invasive ventilation, ...

“In critically ill patients receiving mechanical ventilation, cardiac and circulatory performance can be significantly impaired by the effects of positive pressure ventilation,” said Dr. Ewan Goligher ...

For anaesthetists, optimising ventilation settings during surgery is a fundamental aspect of patient care. Adjusting positive ...
