Noninvasive Positive-Pressure Ventilation.
Prince Andrew married Sarah Ferguson on July 23 1986. That day also saw the first use in the United Kingdom of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation by nasal mask. Aged about fifty years, the patient had suffered pulmonary tuberculosis as a youngster and, in the days before antituberculous chemotherapy, had been treated with bilateral pneumothoraces, phrenic crush and finally an apical tho...
متن کاملNoninvasive positive pressure ventilation in hospital setting.
Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) refers to the delivery of mechanical ventilation to the lungs using techniques that do not require an endotracheal intubation. In the past decade NPPV has gained wide acceptance and is now used more frequently after development of portable ventilators, new modes of ventilation and other equipments. This article will provide a comprehensive overvi...
متن کاملAcute applications of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation.
Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) has been used increasingly to treat acute respiratory failure (ARF). The best indications for its use are ARF in patients with COPD exacerbations, acute pulmonary edema, and immunocompromised states. For these indications, multiple controlled trials have demonstrated that therapy with NPPV avoids intubation and, in the case of COPD and immunocomp...
متن کاملPerformance of ventilators for noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation in children.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the performance characteristics of all the ventilators proposed for home noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation in children in France. The ventilators (one volume-targeted, 12 pressure-targeted and four dual) were evaluated on a bench which simulated six different paediatric ventilatory patterns. For each ventilator, the quality of the inspiratory...
متن کاملPost-thyroidectomy tracheomalacia: minimal risk despite significant tracheal compression.
BACKGROUND Tracheomalacia is a feared complication of goitre surgery, but considered rare in the Western World. This study aimed to estimate the risk of tracheomalacia in a contemporary series of patients with goitres causing significant tracheal compression. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted of thyroidectomies performed in a UK tertiary referral centre over a 30 month period. Anae...
