The Comparison of Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation with Nonsynchronised Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation in Newborn with Respiratory Failure and Transient Tachypnea

Comparison between intermittent mandatory ventilation and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation with pressure support in children.

OBJECTIVE To compare intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) with synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation plus pressure support (SIMV+PS) in terms of time on mechanical ventilation, duration of weaning and length of stay in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). METHODS This was a randomized clinical trial that enrolled children aged 28 days to 4 years who were admitted to a PICU be...

Comparison between intermittent mandatory and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation with pressure in children.

Mechanical ventilation can be life saving in critically ill infants and children, but has important complications. As a consequence, newmodesofmechanical ventilationhavebeen introduced in an attempt to reduce baro/volutrauma. The modes include thosewhich avoid intubation, such as continuouspositive airwayspressure (CPAP),minimize excessive volumes, i.e., volume-targeted ventilation (VTV) and hi...

[Intermittent mandatory ventilation--I.M.V].

High frequency oscillatory ventilation versus synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation in respiratory distress syndrome.

First, out of 296 infants of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) requiring continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a total of 150 infants required intubation for invasive ventilation and another 53 infants requiring intubation couldn’t be randomized due to nonavailability of designated ventilator. This means that there was a CPAP failure in 69% of the cases. Studies from India itself had sh...

Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation with and without pressure support ventilation in weaning patients with COPD from mechanical ventilation.

This prospective study compared two weaning modalities in COPD patients requiring mechanical ventilation (MV) for acute respiratory failure. Nineteen patients with COPD were studied when their precipitating illness was controlled. Although they satisfied the conventional bedside weaning criteria, they could not tolerate any reduction in the respirator rate below 10 cycles/min. At this time, pat...
