Approximately 16% of deaths in patients with ARDS results from refractory hypoxemia,
which is the inability to achieve adequate arterial oxygenation despite high levels of inspired …

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) is inverse ratio, pressure controlled, intermittent
mandatory ventilation with unrestricted spontaneous breathing. It is based on the principle of …

Background: Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a mode of mechanical
ventilation, which has demonstrated potential benefits in trauma patients. We therefore …

Abstract Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a condition of varied etiology
characterized by the acute onset (within 1 week of the inciting event) of hypoxemia, reduced …

Chest trauma is one important factor for total morbidity and mortality in traumatized
emergency patients. The complexity of injury in trauma patients makes it challenging to …

Purpose To compare characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients receiving airway
pressure release ventilation (APRV) or biphasic positive airway pressure (BIPAP) to assist …

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 …

Although lifesaving, mechanical ventilation can itself be responsible for damage to lung
parenchyma. This ventilator-induced lung injury is especially observed in already injured …

Objective The objective of this study was to identify the definitional criteria for the pressure-
limited and time-cycled modes: airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) and biphasic …
