Improved gas exchange has been observed during spontaneous breathing with airway
pressure release ventilation (APRV) as compared with controlled mechanical ventilation …

Ventilation–perfusion (V˙ a/Q˙) distributions were evaluated in 24 patients with acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), during airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) …

Background: Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a ventilatory mode, which allows
unsupported spontaneous breathing at any phase of the ventilatory cycle. Airway pressure …

We update and summarize the role of spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation
in ARDS, which can be beneficial or deleterious, depending on the strength of spontaneous …

Objective: In acute respiratory failure, gas exchange improves with spontaneous breathing
during airway pressure release ventilation (APRV). The mechanisms for this improvement …

Spontaneous respiratory effort during mechanical ventilation has long been recognized to
improve oxygenation, and because oxygenation is a key management target, such effort …

BACKGROUND: In this study, we sought to determine which mode, airway pressure release
ventilation (APRV) or pressure support ventilation (PSV), decreases atelectasis more in …

Optimizing gas exchange, avoiding lung injury, and preserving respiratory muscle strength
and endurance are vital therapeutic objectives for managing acute lung injury. Accordingly …

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) in
providing ventilatory support to patients with acute lung injury of diverse etiology and mild-to …

Objective: We investigated whether potentially injurious transpulmonary pressure could be
generated by strong spontaneous breathing and exacerbate lung injury even when plateau …
