background: nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (nippv) is a non-invasive ventilatory mode, which delivers mechanical ventilation via nasal tubes or prongs. the present study was conducted to compare the efficacy of nippv and nasal continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (ncpap) in reducing the need for intubation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (rds)....

introduction: tuberculosis (tb), with different types of respiratory tract involvements, has a high rate of mortality all around the world. endobronchial involvement, which is a slightly common tuberculous infection, requires special attention due to its severe complications such as bronchostenosis. aim of study of this study was describes, one type of pulmonary tuberculosis with less diagnosed...

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...

conclusions pressure support ventilation, but not spontaneous breathing, induces a significant redistribution of ventilation towards the ventral region. the sensitivity of the support trigger appears to influence the distribution of ventilation only during the early phase of inspiration. background in supine position, pressure support ventilation causes a redistribution of ventilation towards t...

Efficiency of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in the treatment of respiratory failure has been shown in many published studies. In this review article, we introduced new modalities of non-invasive ventilation (NIV), clinical settings in which NIV can be used and a practical summary of the latest official guidelines published by the European Respiratory Clinical Practice. Clinical tri...

A newborn baby receiving mechanical ventilation was noted to have an extremely variable degree of hypoxia, despite the administration of 100% oxygen. The hypoxia was relieved rapidly when mechanical ventilation was withdrawn.

The adaptation of mechanical ventilators for use in the neonatal population brought about a dramatic breakthrough in the care of premature infants. Further refinements and the development of technologies such as high-frequency ventilation combined with exogenous surfactant have further pushed back the boundaries of survival. Despite these advances, mechanical ventilation is not without risk. Ba...
