Lower tidal volume ventilation yields better outcomes in patients without ARDS

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - For mechanically ventilated patients without acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), lower tidal volume ventilation yields better clinical outcomes than higher tida...

Patients without lung injury may benefit from mechanical ventilation with lower tidal volume use

Among patients without acute respiratory distress syndrome, protective mechanical ventilation with use of lower tidal volumes (the volume of air inhaled and exhaled during each breath) was associated...

Lower Tidal Volume May Cut Lung Injuries (CME/CE)

(MedPage Today) -- Most patients on mechanical ventilation would do better if the volume of air moved in and out of the lungs was lower, researchers reported.

End-Tidal CO2 Monitoring in Delivery Room

Babies who needed positive pressure ventilation right after birth arrived in the NICU with similar rates of abnormal blood CO2 levels whether or not continuous quantitative end-tidal CO2 monitoring wa...

Innovative Anesthesia Control Module Sets Target End-Tidal Values

A novel anesthesiology gas delivery system module constantly measures end-tidal values and automatically adjusts the gas delivery and...

FDA Recalls Baby Breathing Device

WASHINGTON (MedPage Today) -- The FDA has raised the recall of an infant breathing circuit to Class I due to the potential formation of a crack that can reduce tidal volume in therapy and may cause de...

Association Between Use of Lung-Protective Ventilation With Lower Tidal Volumes and Clinical Outcomes Among Patients Without Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome A Meta-analysis Protective Ventilation and Lower Tidal Volumes

ContextLung-protective mechanical ventilation with the use of lower tidal volumes has been found to improve outcomes of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It has been suggested...

New, First-of-its-Kind Virtual Repository For Newborn Screening Unveiled - New System Will Save Lives And Improve Newborn Testing

After one-and-a-half years of intense development and end-user testing and through a contract to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National I...

Effects of different tidal volumes for one-lung ventilation on oxygenation with open chest condition and surgical manipulation: a randomised cross-over trial.

BACKGROUND: The ideal tidal volume (VT) during one-lung ventilation (OLV) remains controversial. High tidal volumes may increase the incidence of postoperative lung injury after thoracic surgery. Ther...

Volume Not Guaranteed: Closed Endotracheal Suction Compromises Ventilation in Volume-Targeted Mode.

Background: Closed endotracheal suction interferes with mechanical ventilation received by infants, but the change to ventilation may be different when ventilator modes that target expired tidal volum...

Estimation of tidal ventilation in preterm and term newborn infants using electromagnetic inductance plethysmography.

Tidal volume (VT) measurements in newborn infants remain largely a research tool. Tidal ventilation and breathing pattern were measured using a new device, FloRight, which uses electromagnetic inducti...

Elucidating the fuzziness in physician decision making in ARDS.

The current standard of care for patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is ventilation with a tidal volume of 6 ml/kg predicted body weight (PBW), but variability remains...

Effects of different tidal volumes in pulmonary and extrapulmonary lung injury with or without intraabdominal hypertension.

PURPOSE: We hypothesized that: (1) intraabdominal hypertension increases pulmonary inflammatory and fibrogenic responses in acute lung injury (ALI); (2) in the presence of intraa...
