The process of ventilation as a series of changes in pressure within the thorax can be modelled using the bell jar model. Parts of the model represent different parts of the respiratory system as ...

In this study, nasal ventilation was shown to be more effective than conventional therapy in reversing acidosis. A comparison of the patients who were treated with nMV compared with patients who ...

The following is a summary of "Importance Of Uric Acid Levels In Geriatric Patients With Respiratory Failure Under ...

Background Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) is a front-line therapy for the management of acute respiratory failure (ARF) in the intensive care units. However, the data on factors and ...

Background & aims: Invasive ventilation forrespiratory failure in childrenwith moderate to severe neurological impairment iscomplex. We report the experience of non-invasiveventilation in these ...

All of these maladaptations may influence performance. There is general consensus that the capacity of the respiratory system is overbuilt for the demands placed on ventilation and gas exchange by ...

We assess the performance of the respiratory system by measuring how much air is inspired or expired each minute. This is called minute ventilation. To calculate minute ventilation, we also need ...
