Investigation of effects of SiPAP versus NCPAP on oxygenation and ventilation in LBW infants with respiratory distress. Our hypothesis is that the LBW infants will achieve the same level of oxygenation and improved ventilation when being treated with SiPAP as compared to NCPAP.

Comparison of Different Ventilation Mode During One-lung Ventilation
It is controversial as to which ventilation mode is better in one-lung ventilation(OLV), volume controlled ventilation(VCV) or pressure controlled ventilation(PCV). This study was designed...
Manual Ventilation Versus Pressure Controlled Mechanical Ventilation in Children
The investigator will compare the feasibility of manual ventilation and pressure-controlled mechanical ventilation during facemask ventilation in children. The hypothesis is that the incid...
Proportional Assist Ventilation vs Pressure Support Ventilation
In this study, we want to compare two different kinds of artificial ventilation to see if one encourages faster weaning from breathing support and if one provides better sleep quality. The...
Protective Ventilation Strategy
The purpose of this study is to find a proper ventilation strategy for one-lung ventilation to prevent postoperative pulmonary complications
The purpose of this research study is to compare difference between breathing by oneself or with the partial help from an anesthesia machine in children under general anesthesia.
Airway management and ventilation during a tracheobronchial stenting procedure are challenging given that mandatory positive pressure ventilation cannot be fully achieved while using a rigid bronchosc...
Pressure controlled ventilation is a common mode of ventilation used to manage both adult and pediatric populations. However, there is very little evidence that distinguishes the efficacy of pressure ...
Airway management and ventilation during a tracheobronchial stenting procedure are challenging given that mandatory positive pressure ventilation cannot be fully achieved while using a rigid bronchosc...
Adequate blood oxygenation and ventilation/perfusion matching should be main goal of anaesthetic and intensive care management. At present, one of the methods of improving gas exchange restricted by v...

High-frequency Ventilation
Ventilatory support system using frequencies from 60-900 cycles/min or more. Three types of systems have been distinguished on the basis of rates, volumes, and the system used. They are high frequency positive-pressure ventilation (HFPPV); HIGH-FREQUENCY JET VENTILATION; (HFJV); and high-frequency oscillation (HFO).
Ventilator Weaning
Techniques for effecting the transition of the respiratory-failure patient from mechanical ventilation to spontaneous ventilation, while meeting the criteria that tidal volume be above a given threshold (greater than 5 ml/kg), respiratory frequency be below a given count (less than 30 breaths/min), and oxygen partial pressure be above a given threshold (PaO2 greater than 50mm Hg). Weaning studies focus on finding methods to monitor and predict the outcome of mechanical ventilator weaning as well as finding ventilatory support techniques which will facilitate successful weaning. Present methods include intermittent mandatory ventilation, intermittent positive pressure ventilation, and mandatory minute volume ventilation.
Interactive Ventilatory Support
Mechanical ventilation delivered to match the patient's efforts in breathing as detected by the interactive ventilation device.
Middle Ear Ventilation
Ventilation of the middle ear in the treatment of secretory (serous) otitis media, usually by placement of tubes or grommets which pierce the tympanic membrane.
High-frequency Jet Ventilation
Respiratory support system used primarily with rates of about 100 to 200/min with volumes of from about one to three times predicted anatomic dead space. Used to treat respiratory failure and maintain ventilation under severe circumstances.
