Comparison of two ventilators used with the T-piece in paediatric anaesthesia.

چکیده
The Nuffield 200 ventilator was compared with a new valveless ventilator (CW 200) in 20 children undergoing general anaesthesia for paediatric surgery. The new ventilator incorporates design features which overcome the main disadvantages of the Nuffield 200 and make it an inherently safer machine. At identical ventilator settings it produced a significantly greater tidal volume with a reduction in end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure. This may have advantages in avoiding pulmonary barotrauma in children.

Investigation of the Paediatric Tracheostomy Decannulation: Factors Affecting Outcome
Introduction: Evidence for factors determining paediatric tracheostomy decannulation vary extensively; therefore, this prospective observational study aimed to investigate these factors. Materials and Methods: In total, 67 consecutive paediatric patients (<12 years old) who referred to the Department of Otolaryngology, (Postgraduate Institute Medical Education and Research),(Chandigarh), ...
متن کاملA new paediatric ventilator.
CONTROLLED VENTILATION for adult anaesthesia is generally accepted to be best performed by a ventilator rather than by hand. The reasons for this were summarized bv Mushin e t al. 1 These same reasons apply even more to paediatrie anaesthesia. Unfortunately during the last decade very few ventilators especially desigued for paediatrie anaesthesia have been available. To compensate for this, man...
متن کاملA Device for Mechanical Ventilation Suitable for Newborn and Infants during Anaesthesia.
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 o...
متن کاملThe Effect of the Respiratory Flow Pattern on Rebreathing in a T-piece System.
The effect of the respiratory flow pattern on the fresh gas flow required to prevent rebreathing in a T-piece system was investigated using laboratory models. With a sine wave pattern slighdy less than 2\ times the minute volume was necessary. Widi the flow patterns produced by the ventilators studied, up to 3 times the minute volume was required. It is suggested that during artificial ventilat...

Background & Aims : Because for the known complications of prolonged mechanical ventilation, weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) is very important. We aimed to determine the outcome of two conventional weaning types and comparison of those in patients receiving MV. Materials & Methods : During an 8 month period we enrolled all patients admitted to intensive care departments who receive...
