Muscle weakness is common in the surgical intensive care unit (ICU). Low muscle mass at
ICU admission is a significant predictor of adverse outcomes. The consequences of ICU …

The impact of spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventil... : Current Opinion in Critical
Care The impact of spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation : Current Opinion in …

Objective: We investigated whether potentially injurious transpulmonary pressure could be
generated by strong spontaneous breathing and exacerbate lung injury even when plateau …

Objectives: The benefits of spontaneous breathing over muscle paralysis have been proven
mainly in mild lung injury; no one has yet evaluated the effects of spontaneous breathing in …

Objective: To evaluate the influence of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) and
positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on the control of breathing in rabbits with acute …

Our aim was to compare the effects of nasal bilevel positive airway pressure (N‐BiPAP) and
nasal continuous positive airway pressure (N‐CPAP) on gas exchange in preterm babies …

Objective The objective of this study was to identify the definitional criteria for the pressure-
limited and time-cycled modes: airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) and biphasic …

Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a ventilator mode that has previously been
considered a rescue mode, but has gained acceptance as a primary mode of ventilation. In …

Background: Pressure-support ventilation may worsen lung damage due to increased
dynamic transpulmonary driving pressure. The authors hypothesized that, at the same tidal …

This review focuses on mechanical ventilation strategies that allow unsupported
spontaneous breathing activity in any phase of the ventilatory cycle. By allowing patients …
