Evaluating noninvasive ventilation using a monitoring system coupled to a ventilator: a bench-to-bedside study.
Empirically determined noninvasive ventilation (NIV) settings may not achieve optimal ventilatory support. Some ventilators include monitoring modules to assess ventilatory quality. We conducted a bench-to-bedside study to assess the ventilatory quality of the VPAPIII-ResLink (ResMed, North Ryde, Australia). We tested the accuracy of minute ventilation (MV) and leak calculations given by VPAPII...
متن کاملMonitoring of noninvasive ventilation by built-in software of home bilevel ventilators: a bench study.
BACKGROUND Current bilevel positive-pressure ventilators for home noninvasive ventilation (NIV) provide physicians with software that records items important for patient monitoring, such as compliance, tidal volume (Vt), and leaks. However, to our knowledge, the validity of this information has not yet been independently assessed. METHODS Testing was done for seven home ventilators on a bench...
متن کاملEvaluation of ventilators for mouthpiece ventilation in neuromuscular disease.
BACKGROUND Daytime mouthpiece ventilation is a useful adjunct to nocturnal noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with neuromuscular disease. The aims of the study were to analyze the practice of mouthpiece ventilation and to evaluate the performance of ventilators for mouthpiece ventilation. METHODS Practice of mouthpiece ventilation was assessed by a questionnaire, and the performance of...
متن کاملVarying leaks: a challenge for modern ventilators?
Using patient-triggered ventilation, during which the patient is given the opportunity to trigger and cycle the ventilator, allows reducing the use of sedation,1 reduces ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction,2 facilitates weaning from mechanical ventilation,3 and improves patient comfort.4 To be efficient and comfortable, patient-triggered modes have to deliver pressurization in synchron...
متن کاملPromising role for Gc-MAF in cancer immunotherapy: from bench to bedside
Immunotherapy has been used for years in many types of cancer therapy. Recently, cancer immunotherapy has focused on mechanisms which can enhance the development of cell-mediated immunity. Anticancer medications are administered to inhibit immunosuppressive factors such as nagalase enzyme, which is produced by neoplastic cells and destroys macrophage activating factor (Gc-MAF). Anti-neoplastics...
