Performance of ventilators for noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation in children.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the performance characteristics of all the ventilators proposed for home noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation in children in France. The ventilators (one volume-targeted, 12 pressure-targeted and four dual) were evaluated on a bench which simulated six different paediatric ventilatory patterns. For each ventilator, the quality of the inspiratory...
متن کاملSpontaneous Pressure Elevations in Small Veins
VENOUS obstruction is known to increase capillary pressure in the obstructed area. Most observers have believed that in the normal subject pressure in the large veins draining a part gives a good indication of the pressure distal to the venous ends of the capillaries and that, if the pressure in large veins is not elevated, changes in the venous system are not important in causing change in the...
متن کاملPrecursors to Rapid Elevations in Intracranial Pressure
Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring and management have substantially improved the outcome of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, rapid elevations in ICP remain a significant problem as they may lead to secondary brain injury and worse outcome due to cerebral ischemia. Current therapy is targeted towards treating rapid ICP elevations after they occur. Ideally, anticipatory t...
متن کاملFunctional differences in bi-level pressure preset ventilators.
The performance of four bilevel positive pressure preset ventilators was compared. The ventilators tested were; BiPAP ST30 (Respironics); Nippy2 (B + D Electrical); Quantum PSV (Healthdyne); and Sullivan VPAP H ST (Resmed). A patient simulator was used to determine the sensitivity of the triggering mechanisms and the responses to a leak within the patient circuit, and to changes in patient effo...
متن کاملLeak compensation in positive pressure ventilators: a lung model study.
Leak compensating abilities of six different positive pressure ventilators commonly used to deliver noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, including the bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) S/T-D and Quantum (Respironics Inc, Murrysville, PA, USA), 335 and O'NYX (Mallinckrodt Inc, St Louis, MO, USA), PLV 102 (Respironics), and Siemens Servo 900C (Siemens Inc, Danvers, MA, USA). Using a ...
