Exacerbation of COVID-19 pandemic may lead to acute shortage ventilators, which require shared use ventilator as a lifesaving concept. Two model lungs were ventilated with one i) test the adequacy individual tidal volumes via capnography, ii) assess cross-breathing between lungs, and iii) offer simulation-based algorithm for ensuring equal volumes. Ventilation asymmetry was induced by placing r...

Outside the OR, it has become increasingly common for nurses to administer procedural sedation. Now, with capnography, you can monitor patients' respiratory status more closely and accurately.

background: the aim of this study was to prevent of increasing end tidal co2(et co 2) with changing of vital capacity and respiratory rate, when using of birthing filter in infants. materials and method: in a randomized clinical trial study, ninety four infant' patients were studied in three groups . basic values, such as: peak inspiratory pressure, tidal volume, minute ventilation, respiratory...

Neonatal airway management (NAM) and oxygenation are vital skills. Unrecognised oesophageal intubation is a common cause of endotracheal intubation (EI) failure and can result in mortality and significant morbidity. The Difficult Airway Society have algorithms for difficult airway management in adults and children 2 including a ‘cannot intubate and cannot ventilate’ (CICV) algorithm. There are ...

Jia et al. [1] should be congratulated for their large prospective multi-centre observational study to identify the incidence and risk factors of adverse events (AEs) during intra-hospital transport (IHT) of critically ill patients. They a priori categorised the AEs associated with the transfer process into equipment related AEs (E-AEs) and those affecting patient stability (P-AEs). About 44 % ...

OBJECTIVES Volumetric capnography provides the standard CO2 elimination by the volume expired per respiratory cycle and is a measure to assess pulmonary involvement. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the respiratory dynamics of healthy control subjects and those with cystic fibrosis in a submaximal exercise protocol for six minutes on the treadmill, using volumetric capnography ...

BACKGROUND We evaluated the diagnostic performance and safety of combined blind nasotracheal suctioning and non-bronchoscopic mini-bronchoalveolar lavage (mini-BAL) to obtain respiratory secretion specimens from spontaneously breathing, non-intubated patients with infectious pneumonia in intensive care. METHODS Patients suspected of having infectious pneumonia were included prospectively. Thr...
