Various modes of high‐frequency ventilation (HFV) have been developed to avoid the
disadvantages of conventional mechanical ventilation. In the present study, we examined …

The original recommendations for the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS) included the use of high-pressure constant volume ventilation, inspiratory plateau …

There is clear evidence for the use of a protective ventilation protocol in patients with acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). There is evidence to suggest that protective …

Control ventilation is a mode of ventilation in which the respirator delivers the preset volume
or pressure regardless of the patient's own inspiratory efforts. It is indicated in patients with …

The importance of adequate dialysis in patients with end-stage renal failure is widely
recognized. It has now been analyzed by multiple studies and reviewed by a number of …

Background: Alveolar recruitment is a physiological process that denotes the reopening of
