RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR MECHANICAL VENTILATORY SUPPORT Clinical Indications for Respiratory Failure Determining Effective Oxygenation and Ventilation GOALS OF NEWBORN AND PEDIATRIC VENTILATORY SUPPORT NONINVASIVE RESPIRATORY SUPPORT Noninvasive Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Neonates Noninvasive Positive-Pressure Ventilation in Neonates CPAP and BiPAP in Pediatric Patients CONVEN...

Not every ventilation system performs as intended; much can be learned when they do not. The purpose of this study was to compare observed initial performance to expected levels for three saw-reconditioning shop ventilation systems and to characterize the changes in performance of the systems over a one-year period. These three local exhaust ventilation systems were intended to control worker e...

this case report describes the anesthetic management and ventilation technique in the surgical treatmentof traumatic diaphragmatic hernia in a dog. a 5-month-old 8-kg female terrier with a history of car accidentwas presented for femoral fracture repair. before anesthetic induction, marked tachypnea and dyspnea werenoted. diaphragmatic hernia was diagnosed based upon radiographic and ultrasonog...

hypoxia is a major concern for human health. multiple new techniques were proposed for tissue oxygenation in different variety of patients.  clark jr. et al. presenting their article titled “fluorovent: a new perfluorocarbon for liquid ventilation”, at a symposium in neonatology, in 1995, described the scientific importance for perfluorocarbons which would be ideally suited for use in liquid ve...

Auxiliary ventilation of the blind development heading in underground mines is one of the most challenging work activities amongst mining underground operations. The auxiliary forcing ventilation system provides positive pressure, cooling, controlling gas layering, and removing diesel fumes and dust levels from development headings, stopes, and services facilities. The effectiveness of the auxi...

the natural ventilation is an easy way to exchange the indoor polluted warm air with outdoor fresh air. the wind power injects outdoor fresh air into the building. a good indoor air current and subsequently a proper exhaust depend on the openings’ conditions and their situations. a serious architectural question is under what conditions of the openings the wind-cross ventilation can be effectiv...

BACKGROUND Standard-issue Chemical-Biological-Radio-Nuclear (CBRN) gasmasks, as used for protection from non-conventional warfare agents or toxic industrial compounds, cannot be used by ventilated patients, leaving them exposed to toxic agents inhaled via their ventilators. This study was conducted to determine the safety of a CBRN filter added to the patient circuit of a ventilator, as a metho...

BACKGROUND Needle cricothyrotomy and subsequent transtracheal jet ventilation (TTJV) is one of the last options to restore oxygenation while managing an airway emergency. However, in cases of complete upper airway obstruction, conventional TTJV is ineffective and dangerous. We transformed a small, industrial ejector into a simple, manual ventilator providing expiratory ventilation assistance (E...
