Heliox during mechanical ventilation.

Abstract:

:The indications for heliox during mechanical ventilation are lower-airway obstruction, especially with hypercarbia; need to enhance aerosol delivery to lung periphery; and need to facilitate weaning from mechanical ventilation. Certain ventilators perform relatively well with heliox and are not substantially affected by it. It is preferable to connect the heliox to the air inlet of the ventilator, because this results in more consistent delivery of oxygen and tidal volume. When administering heliox, pay close attention and directly monitor the actual tidal volume and fraction of inspired oxygen.

  • Comparison of Forced and Slow Vital Capacity Maneuvers in Defining Airway Obstruction.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Obstructive lung disease is diagnosed by a decreased ratio of FEV1 to the vital capacity (VC). Although the most commonly used VC is FVC, American Thoracic Society guidelines suggest alternative VCs, for example, slow VC (SVC), may offer a more-accurate evaluation of breathing capacity. There is recent evide...
