March 5, 2004 — Overweight and obese patients with acute lung injury benefit from low tidal volumes similar to those used in patients of normal weight, according to the results of a secondary analysis ...

Better Outcomes for Ventilation With Lower Tidal Volumes Protective ventilation with lower tidal volumes is associated with better clinical outcomes in patients without acute respiratory distress ...

Reduction of tidal volume in mechanically ventilated patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery could improve secondary outcomes, according to a report published in Anesthesiology. Reduction of ...

Background: In anesthetized patients undergoing surgery, the role of lung-protective ventilation with lower tidal volumes is unclear. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs ...

What is patient/ventilator synchrony? Broadly speaking, a patient and ventilator are in synchrony when the settings on the ventilator are matched with what the patient's respiratory system is trying ...

A discrepancy between the predicted ventilation standards and the actual ventilation requirements may be caused by an increase in the physiologic dead space or by an increased carbon dioxide ...
