Spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation in ARDS

The objective of mechanical ventilation used in the management of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is to ensure adequate tissue oxygenation and alveolar ventilation while limiting the patients’ work of breathing and preventing further damage to the lungs. Although the “partial support” ventilation modes were initially developed to assist weaning or liberation from supported ventilatio...

Surfactant Administration via Thin Catheter during Spontaneous Breathing: Randomized Controlled Trial in Alzahra hospital

Introduction Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a current cause of morbidity in premature infants resulted from surfactant deficiency. The primary aim of this randomized study was to describe the feasibility of early administration of surfactant via a thin catheter during spontaneous breathing (TEC) and compare its outcomes with the InSurE (Intubate, Surfactant, Extubate) procedure Material...

Quantal ventilatory variability during spontaneous breathing anaesthesia.

BACKGROUND Cardioventilatory coupling is the triggering of inspiratory onset by preceding cardiac activity. We have observed two forms of coupling with a bimodal ('quantal') variation of respiratory period. METHODS We investigated the variables of inspiratory duration (TI), expiratory duration (TE), and tidal volume (VT) where respiratory period variation was bimodal. In 25 anaesthetized spon...
