Exhaled air dispersion during noninvasive ventilation via helmets and a total facemask
Abstract Background: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) via helmet or total facemask is an option for managing patients with respiratory infections in respiratory failure. However, the risk of nosocomial infection is unknown. Methods: We examined exhaled air dispersion during NIV using a human patient simulator reclined at 45° in a negative pressure room with 12 air changes/h by two ...

Exhaled air dispersion distances during noninvasive ventilation via different Respironics face masks
Abstract Background: As part of our influenza pandemic preparedness, we studied the exhaled air dispersion distances and directions through two different face masks (Respironics; Murrysville, PA) attached to a human-patient simulator (HPS) during noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) in an isolation room with pressure of -5 Pa. Methods: The HPS was positioned at 45 degrees on ...

Quantitative Assessment of Viral Dispersion Associated with Respiratory Support Devices in a Simulated Critical Care Environmen
Abstract Rationale:Patients with severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) require supplemental oxygen and ventilatory support. It is unclear whether some respiratory support devices may increase the dispersion of infectious bioaerosols and thereby place healthcare workers at increased risk of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Objectives:To ...

Ventilation of a 7 Year Old Victim of Crush Injury to the Upper Chest with Tracheal Bronchial Tears Using High Frequency Jet Ventilation
A previously healthy 7 year old girl experienced a severe crush injury to the upper chest area resulting in severe bilateral lung contusions and pneumothoraces along with extensive tearing of the membranous portion of the trachea involving both the left and right main stem bronchus. The patient required complicated and prolonged surgical repair of the airway. Ventilation of this patient proved ...

The Use of High-Frequency Jet Ventilation in the Management of a Pre-term Infant with Pulmonary Stenosis and Respiratory Distress Syndrome. – A Case Report
The combination of congenital heart disease (CHD) and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) can present a difficult scenario to manage with conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV). Our patient presented with poor right ventricular (RV) function, and refractory respiratory failure on CMV. High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) was used in order to improve ventilation at a similar or lower mean ...
