A personalized mechanical ventilation approach for patients with adult respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS) based on lung physiology and morphology, ARDS etiology, lung imaging …

The latest guidelines for the hospital care of patients affected by coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19)-related acute respiratory failure have moved towards the widely accepted use of …

Background In ARDS patients, mechanical ventilation should minimize ventilator-induced
lung injury. The mechanical power which is the energy per unit time released to the …

Supportive care with mechanical ventilation continues to be an essential strategy for
managing severe neonatal respiratory failure; however, it is well known to cause and …

Over the last decade, the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has
made considerable progress both regarding supportive and pharmacologic therapies. Lung …

Respiratory toxicology remains a major research area in the 21st century since current
scenario of airborne viral infection transmission and pollutant inhalation is expected to raise …

Background Mechanical power (MP) refers to the energy delivered by a ventilator to the
respiratory system per unit of time. MP referenced to predicted body weight (PBW) or …

Repeated applications of tidal energy inflict lung damage (VILI) when stress and strain
exceed the limits of tissue tolerance. Inflation work and energy are the products of pressure …

Background: Superobesity and laparoscopic surgery promote negative end-expiratory
transpulmonary pressure that causes atelectasis formation and impaired respiratory …
