Supportive care with mechanical ventilation continues to be an essential strategy for
managing severe neonatal respiratory failure; however, it is well known to cause and …

Background Mechanical power (MP) is the energy delivered to the respiratory system over
time during mechanical ventilation. Our aim was to compare the currently available methods …

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) is a natural defence against the infections from enveloped RNA
viruses and is likely involved also in Covid 19. It was already shown to inhibit growth and …

Objectives: Patients with acute respiratory failure due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-
19) have a high likelihood of needing prolonged intubation and may subsequently require …

BACKGROUND: The ratio of dead space to tidal volume (VD/VT) is associated with mortality
in patients with ARDS. Corrected minute ventilation (V˙ E corr) is a simple surrogate of dead …

BACKGROUND: Humidification of inspiratory gases is mandatory in all mechanically
ventilated patients in ICUs, either with heated humidifiers (HHs) or with heat and moisture …

Several single-center studies have evaluated the predictive performance of mechanical
power (MP) on weaning outcomes in prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) …

Burn patients are at risk of developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) as a
result of systemic inflammation, fluid resuscitation, protein loss, prolonged mechanical …

Background. The energy delivered by a ventilator to the respiratory system in one minute is
defined as mechanical power (MP). However, the effect of ventilator‐induced lung injury …

In invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), it is critical that the flow value is estimated correctly,
as it is used as a trigger variable for ventilatory assistance. Furthermore, the numerical …
