Clinical evaluation of a new closed loop ventilation mode: adaptive supportive ventilation (ASV)

Pressure Support Ventilation – A New Triggered Ventilation Mode for Neonates

New Modes of Ventilation: Proportional Assist Ventilation; Adaptive Support Ventilation; SmartCare

Introduction Proportional Assist Ventilation (PAV), Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) and SmartCare (SC) are new modes of ventilation that have recently become available on the market. Although these modes have numerous similarities, there are several important differences that clinicians should be aware of to ensure successful and appropriate application of each. The present paper will descri...

Comparison of the Effects of Open and Closed Endotracheal Suction on Cardiovascular and Ventilation Parameters for Patients Undergoing Mechanical Ventilation

Background and Objectives: Suction is a necessary and common method which aids in the release of secretion from the respiratory system for the patients who have undergone mechanical ventilation. One of the most common complications of suction is hypoxemia which causes dysrhythmia and death. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of open and closed-endotracheal suction on cardiov...

Use of Adaptive Servo-ventilation (ASV) for People With Heart Failure and Trouble Sleeping.

www.thoracic.org C LI P A N D C O P Y What is Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB)? SDB is a general term used to describe various different abnormalities in breathing pattern which occur during sleep, including obstructive and central sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder which affects roughly 10% of the US population and approximately 1/3 of people with congestive heart ...

Feasibility study on full closed-loop control ventilation (IntelliVent-ASV™) in ICU patients with acute respiratory failure: a prospective observational comparative study

INTRODUCTION IntelliVent-ASV™ is a full closed-loop ventilation mode that automatically adjusts ventilation and oxygenation parameters in both passive and active patients. This feasibility study compared oxygenation and ventilation settings automatically selected by IntelliVent-ASV™ among three predefined lung conditions (normal lung, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and chronic obstr...
