A new system for understanding modes of mechanical ventilation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:This study compared 3 nebulizer technologies for inter- and intradevice reproducibility, humidification, and fill volume sensitivity during mechanical ventilation: a breath-enhanced jet nebulizer, a vibrating mesh nebulizer, and a jet nebulizer. The breath-enhanced jet nebulizer featured a new design located...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Ventilation with low tidal volume is recommended for patients with acute lung injury. Current guidelines suggest limiting plateau pressure (Pplat) to < 30 cm H2O for septic patients needing mechanical ventilation. The aim of this study was to determine whether Pplat within the first 24 h of ICU admission is ...
