COVID-19 patients with respiratory distress require additional oxygen support. Some of the respiratory support devices used in intensive care units could increase the dispersion of infectious viral particles placing healthcare workers at increased risk of infection. The goal was to compare viral aerosol dispersion from invasive and non-invasive res...

Objectives
Endotracheal tube (ETT) intubation is a life-saving procedure in patients with respiratory failure. However, the presence of an ETT can cause significant discomfort. A tracheostomy tube is used to administer a mechanical ventilator, resulting in a more stable airway and fewer serious injuries. Noninvasive ventilators (NIPPVs)...
Background
Surges of COVID-19 infections have led to insufficient supply of mechanical ventilators (MV), resulting in rationing of MV care. In-parallel, co-mechanical ventilation (Co-MV) of multiple patients is a potential solution. However, due to lack of testing, there is currently no means to match ventilation requirements or patients, with no g...
Background:
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) refers to the positive pressure in the respiratory tract at the end of the exhalation when we use a ventilator. The differences of higher PEEP and lower PEEP on clinical outcomes in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients are less well known.
Methods:
A comprehensive literature sear...
Introduction
Mechanical ventilation is the primary method of supporting organ function for patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU). The information on the characteristics and outcomes of patients requiring mechanical ventilation is essential to understanding the causes of mortality among mechanically ventilated patients. However, the availa...
Medical history is often overlooked as advances keep moving forward. Seldom is it that advances in medicine are truly new, unique ideas, but rather built on ideas that have been considered before. Even our latest developments will become history or forgotten as science and medicine advance.
This history of intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV)...
