abstract：BACKGROUND:We previously reported the effects of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy on thoraco-abdominal synchrony. This study was designed to clarify the effect of HFNC on thoraco-abdominal synchrony in pediatric subjects after cardiac surgery and to investigate HFNC optimal flow in this population. METHOD...

abstract：BACKGROUND:The rise in inspiratory flow is important during patient-triggered ventilation. Many ventilators incorporate a function to control the time to reach the targeted airway pressure (inspiratory rise time). However, it has not been clarified how inspiratory rise time affects inspiratory work load under various v...
