Neural inertia and differences between loss of and recovery from consciousness during total intravenous anaesthesia: a narrative review.

abstract：:We assessed adequacy of ventilation in 20 critically ill patients with multiple organ failure using a Pneupac Ventipac portable ventilator and the effects on patients' haemodynamic stability. Baseline data were recorded over 15 min for a range of respiratory, haemodynamic and oxygen transport variables during ventilat...
