A Device for Mechanical Ventilation Suitable for Newborn and Infants during Anaesthesia.
نویسنده
چکیده
The need for mechanical ventilation during anaesthesia in the newborn and in infants has been strongly felt recently (Rees, 1958; Smith, 1959; Okemian, 1963). Very few ventilators suitable for paediatric anaesthesia are available (e.g. Bennett and Bird), and all are enormously expensive. The Engstrom ventilator has been successfully used for paediatric anaesthesia. The Starling pump, designed originally for use in animals, has been found to be of value in paediatric anaesthesia but it does not conform to the requirements for safety in the presence of explosive gases (Monro and Scurr, 1961). Mushin, Mapleson and Lunn (1962) have stressed the scarcity in choice of ventilator!' for children, particularly for use in anaesthesia. The shortage of a suitable ventilator for use in paediatric anaesthesia inspired the improvisation described in this paper. PRINCIPLE

Comparison of Fentanyl and Midazolam for the Sedation of Infants Under Mechanical Ventilation; A Randomized Clinical Trial
Background: Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), a life-threatening pulmonary disorder, involves 1% of all deliveries worldwide. Shallow breathing causes restlessness in infants, which itself affects pulmonary function; thus, sedative medications are used to preserve better pulmonary function. There are different opinions about the benefits and superiority of these dr...

Abstract Introduction: Changing position is an important aspect within nursing care. Prone positioning amongst premature infants could improve their oxygenation compared to supine position. Side lying position leads to developed support between premature infants, however there is few studies about effects of this position on premature infants 'oxygenation. Objective: This study was conduc...

متن کاملOxygen cost of breathing and weaning process in newborn infants.
Newborn infants may have a high oxygen cost of breathing (OCB) at the time of being weaned from mechanical ventilation. We hypothesized that this increase in oxygen consumption (V'O2) could be reduced by using certain weaning ventilatory modes. We designed a study to assess V'O2 during three weaning ventilatory modes: patient triggered ventilation, synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation...
