The role of ventilation in the housing stock is to provide fresh air and to dilute internally-generated pollutants in order to assure adequate indoor air quality. Energy is required to provide this ventilation service, either directly for moving the air or indirectly for conditioning the outdoor air for thermal comfort. Different kinds of ventilation systems have different energy requirements. ...

UNLABELLED Data from published studies were combined and analyzed to develop best-fit equations and curves quantifying the change in sick building syndrome (SBS) symptom prevalence in office workers with ventilation rate. For each study, slopes were calculated, representing the fractional change in SBS symptom prevalence per unit change in ventilation rate per person. Values of ventilation rate...

background: postoperative pulmonary dysfunction is one of the most frequent complications after cardiac surgery and it is believed to result from the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (cpb). in this study, we investigated the effect of low tidal volume ventilation during cpb on postoperative gas exchange and lung mechanics. methods: this prospective randomized study included 100 patients undergoing...

introduction: one of the main treatments of chronic otitis media with effusion is ventilation of the middle ear with a ventilation tube (vt). the objective of this study was to determine the incidence and the types of vt complications in children with otitis media with effusion in ahwaz. materials and methods: in this prospective study, the medical records of 208 children (52 male and 35 female...

In many urban nursery facilities in Japan, daily ventilation behavior is restricted, and poor indoor air quality has been an issue of concern. However, the lack specific common standards for environments, including facilities, left unresolved Japan. The purpose this study to clarify issues at areas indicate future measures. To end, was analyzed using data from intermittent measurements taken be...

INTRODUCTION Managing ventilation and oxygenation during laparoscopic procedures in severely obese patients undergoing weight loss surgery presents many challenges. Pressure-controlled ventilation, volume-guaranteed (PCV-VG) is a dual-control mode of ventilation and an alternative to pressure (PC) or volume (VC) controlled ventilation. PCV-VG features a user-selected tidal volume target, that i...
