Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on gas exchange in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19.

Introduction Previous studies suggested that electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has the potential to guide positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration via quantifying the alveolar collapse ...

The following is a summary of “High PEEP/low FiO 2 ventilation is associated with lower mortality in COVID–19,” published in the October 2024 issue of Critical Care by Goossen et al. The effectiveness ...

研修医の先生にとって人工呼吸器は大きなハードルの1つのようです。研修医の先生に人工呼吸器管理中の患者さんを一緒に診ようと言っても、「人工呼吸器は全然わかりません」と言われ、遠巻きに見ていることが多い印象です。 私も以前は研修医だった ...

人工呼吸器の設定で動脈血の酸素分圧を上げるのはどれか。 分時換気量を上げる、つまり 「一回換気量を増やす」 「換気回数を増やす」 これだけは最低限、押さえておきましょう。 イメージ的に 換気量が増えれば酸素化が改善しそうですが 現実的には ...

Introduction: mechanical ventilation is a necessarytherapy in critical pathologies with respiratory failure, producing acute pulmonary injury. Objectives: To identify an acute pulmonary injuryby ...

Current CONOPs has oxygen inlet valve closed during exhale to conserve oxygen, using ambient air instead to provide PEEP. This will purge the patient tubing with ambient air. If the tubing is long and ...
