Manual Resuscitators: Some Inconvenient Truths
The Old Testament appears to describe the successful application of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation of a child, some 2,900 years ago (II Kings 4:34). According to O’Donnell and colleagues,1 the Babylonian Talmud describes a similar event 2,300 years ago: “One may give a woman (about to give birth) all assistance possible.... One may violate the Sabbath on her account.” What is meant by “being of a...
متن کاملIs Automated Weaning Superior to Manual Spontaneous Breathing Trials?
Weaning from mechanical ventilation involves the reduction or withdrawal of ventilatory support in proportion to the patient's ability to sustain spontaneous ventilation. Protocolized weaning has been shown to reduce weaning duration; however, its weakness lies in the reliance on human intervention. Automated weaning is theoretically superior to manual weaning because of its ability to rapidly ...
متن کاملEvaluation of 16 adult disposable manual resuscitators.
INTRODUCTION Disposable manual resuscitators are commonly used to ventilate patients during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, suctioning, and intrahospital transport, and their clinical performance is critical. METHODS We bench-tested 16 adult disposable manual resuscitators from 9 different manufacturers. We performed a series of tests and made observations using testing industry standards as a...
متن کاملEfficiency of manual resuscitators at birth.
The effectiveness of five neonatal/paediatric manual resuscitators was assessed in a group of babies born by caesarean section. Results showed that devices incorporating a large volume reservoir produced the greatest tidal volume, while those with smaller volume reservoirs could not be considered satisfactory for routine use during neonatal resuscitation.
متن کاملControl of breathing during mechanical ventilation: who is the boss?
Over the past decade, concepts of control of breathing have increasingly moved from being theoretical concepts to "real world" applied science. The purpose of this review is to examine the basics of control of breathing, discuss the bidirectional relationship between control of breathing and mechanical ventilation, and critically assess the application of this knowledge at the patient's bedside...
