Journal ArticleDOI

Noninvasive ventilation for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

TL;DR: In selected patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, noninvasive ventilation can reduce the need for endotracheal intubation, the length of the hospital stay, and the in-hospital mortality rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of three methods of gradual withdrawal from ventilatory support during weaning from mechanical ventilation

TL;DR: A randomized trial in three intensive care units in mechanically ventilated patients who met standard weaning criteria found a lower number of failures was found with PSV than with the other two modes, with the difference just reaching the level of significance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tidal Volume Reduction for Prevention of Ventilator-induced Lung Injury in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

TL;DR: It is concluded that no benefit could be observed with reduced VT titrated to reach plateau pressures around 25 cm H2O compared with a more conventional approach in which normocapnia was achieved with plateau pressures already below 35 cm H 2O.
Journal ArticleDOI

Symptoms of anxiety and depression in family members of intensive care unit patients: Ethical hypothesis regarding decision-making capacity

TL;DR: Characterization of symptoms that reflect anxiety and depression in family members visiting intensive care patients should be of major relevance to the ethics of involving family members in decision-making, particularly about end-of-life issues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reversal of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive lung disease by inspiratory assistance with a face mask.

TL;DR: Inspiratory positive airway pressure delivered by a face mask can obviate the need for conventional mechanical ventilation in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
