Inhaled bronchodilator administration during mechanical ventilation.
Inhaled bronchodilators are routinely administered to mechanically ventilated patients to relieve dyspnea and reverse bronchoconstriction. A lower percentage of the nominal dose reaches the lower respiratory tract in a mechanically ventilated patient than in a nonintubated subject, but attention to device selection, administration technique, dosing, and patient-ventilator interface can increase...
متن کاملSome Infant Ventilator Systems
The pressure:flow relationships which occur when four infant ventilator systems are attached to model lungs have been investigated. The results show that all four systems were capable of ventilating model lungs with satisfactory values for minute volume but two of the systems had features due to poor expiratory pathway design that were considered unsatisfactory. The expiratory pathway of a T-pi...
متن کاملPotential risk for bacterial contamination in conventional reused ventilator systems and disposable closed ventilator-suction systems
BACKGROUND Few studies have investigated the difference in bacterial contamination between conventional reused ventilator systems and disposable closed ventilator-suction systems. The aim of this study was to investigate the bacterial contamination rates of the reused and disposable ventilator systems, and the association between system disconnection and bacterial contamination of ventilator sy...
متن کاملIntravenous and intratracheal administration of trimetoquinol, a fast-acting short-lived bronchodilator in horses with 'heaves'.
REASON FOR PERFORMING STUDY Trimetoquinol (TMQ) is a potent beta-adrenoceptor agonist bronchodilator used in human medicine but has not been evaluated for potential use as a therapeutic agent for horses with 'heaves'. OBJECTIVES To assess the pharmacodynamics of TMQ in horses with 'heaves' to determine potential therapeutic effects. METHODS Increasing doses of TMQ were administered to horse...
متن کاملWhich bronchodilator in COPD?
Which bronchodilator in COPD? There have been few developments in the pharmacotherapy of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that have been so eagerly awaited as that of a long acting anticholinergic compound. For the fi rst time there was a treatment available which was designed with COPD specifi cally in mind. This was not an asthma treatment that had been tried in COPD with more hop...
