Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has been shown to be effective in avoiding intubation and
improving survival in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (ARF) when …

Advanced respiratory monitoring involves several mini-or noninvasive tools, applicable at
bedside, focused on assessing lung aeration and morphology, lung recruitment and …

Abstract Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) history is characterized by
episodes of exacerbation of varying severity, featured by acute worsening of respiratory …

Studies have demonstrated the feasibility of late Gadolinium enhancement (LGE)
cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging for guiding the management of patients …

A helmet, comprising a transparent hood and a soft collar, surrounding the patient's head
can be used to deliver noninvasive ventilatory support, both as continuous positive airway …

During flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) the arterial partial pressure of oxygen can
drop, increasing the risk for respiratory failure. To avoid desaturation episodes during the …

Mechanical ventilation is a supportive treatment commonly applied in critically ill patients.
Whenever the patient is spontaneously breathing, the pressure applied to the respiratory …

Patient–ventilator asynchrony is a major issue during non-invasive ventilation and may lead
to discomfort and treatment failure. Therefore, the identification and prompt management of …

Background Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is indicated to treat respiratory acidosis due to
exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Recent nonrandomized …

Introduction: Patient–ventilator asynchrony may occur with modes of partial ventilatory
support. Because this problem is associated with worsened outcomes, identifying and …
