Respiration, Artificial
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Respiration, Artificial'Any method of artifical breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2 ) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2 ). Common names: Respiration, Artificial; Artificial Respiration; Artificial Respirations; Respirations, Artificial; Ventilation, Mechanical; Mechanical Ventilation; Mechanical Ventilations; Ventilations, Mechanical |

Erythrocytapheresis in children with sickle cell disease and acute chest syndrome.
29 Nov 2009 
BACKGROUND: Red cell exchange (RCE) is part of the management of acute chest syndrome (ACS) in patients with sickle cell disease. The study describes the indications and outcome of the procedure. PROCEDURE: We retrospectively reviewed 53 episodes of ... Read more...
Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza: experience from the critical care unit.
30 Oct 2009 This case series details experience of critical care admissions with pandemic (H1N1) 2009 influenza from an intensive care unit in the West Midlands. We present four critically ill patients admitted with severe hypoxia. Two of the patients failed a ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 Despite being a standard procedure during induction of anaesthesia, facemask ventilation can be a major challenge especially for inexperienced anaesthetists. We manufactured a Jaw-Thrust-Device designed to keep the patient's jaws in an optimised ... Read more...
