During traditional positive pressure mechanical ventilatory support the lungs are inflated by
increasing airway pressure above the ambient. Consequently the physiologic variations in …

Respiratory insufficiency that occurs following a traumatic injury is due to both mechanical
and physiological disruption of pulmonary integrity. Although an overall decrease in …

Importance Improper mechanical ventilation settings can exacerbate acute lung injury by
causing a secondary ventilator-induced lung injury. It is therefore important to establish the …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) results in collapse of alveoli and therefore poor
oxygenation. In this article, we review airway pressure release ventilation (APRV), a mode of …

Since the seminal observations of Webb and Tierney on the causes of lung injury during
positive-pressure mechanical ventilation (1), intensivists have sought ways to minimize …

Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) was first described in 1987 and defined as
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) with a brief release while allowing the patient to …

Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) ventilates by time-cycled switching between two
pressure levels in a high-flow or demand valve continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) …

Patients with severe acute lung injury (ALI) often have complicated clinical courses with the
majority of patients suffering morbidity and mortality (I). It is agreed that mechanical …

Mechanical ventilation remains the key intervention for airway protection and respiratory
insufficiency or failure. Paradoxically, mechanical ventilation has been associated with …
