A lung-protective ventilation strategy requires optimal PEEP and tidal volume settings. Finding and maintaining these crucial settings during the course of therapy is challenging - even for ...

This ventilator bundle was monitored each weekday by an ICU nurse. She intervened in this process while performance monitoring was taking place at the bedside if non-compliance with an element of ...

The following is a summary of “Changes in pulse pressure variation induced by passive leg raising test to predict preload ...

along with increased demand for critical care resources like ventilators and highly trained ICU physicians. Dr. Jarone Lee, medical director of the Blake 12 ICU at Massachusetts General Hospital ...

Tasha McNerney, BS, CVT, CVPM, VTS (Anesthesia), discusses the upcoming VMX workshop on mechanical ventilation, which she will co-present with Tami Lind, BS, RVT, VTS (ECC), and Darci Palmer, LVT, VTS ...

The pNeuton model A is a transport ventilator with built-in CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) for critical care patient support in hospital environments. With simple-to-use controls ...

Researchers from Amsterdam UMC have found a new mechanism explaining diaphragm weakness that arises during mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). These findings were published in ...

The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to evaluate whether the sustained implementation of the VAP bundle in our ICU could effectively reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated ...
