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 ...

One of many lessons learned during the pandemic is the importance of in-person learning to student equity, educational development, and social health. Pandemic control strategies such as school closures and distance learning programs are now considered last-resort options by most public health professionals and educators. Understanding this, it’s clear we need to take all reasonable steps ...
With a respiratory pandemic like COVID-19, that often means a respiratory therapist (RT), there to provide oxygen therapy, aerosol medications, or mechanical ventilation support is needed. The need for respiratory professionals Prior to the advent of COVID-19, a shortage of respiratory therapists was brewing. ...
A gas humidifier is an instrument for artificially warming and humidifying respiratory gas for mechanically ventilated patients. When natural respiratory humidification decreases pulmonic infections and damage to lung tissue may ...
A 45 year old man suffering from high fever and shortness of breath was admitted to a covid-19 isolation floor at a US hospital employing our enteral navigation system. The patient was not mechanically ventilated but rather placed on a BiPAP machine. In six minutes the feeding tube was placed safely into his small bowel allowing for effective and early ...
REHVA, the Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Associations, describe ventilation as the best engineering control we have for managing the infection. ...
Methods:This study used a simulated ICU room with a breathing-patient simulator exhaling nebulized bacteriophages from the lower respiratory tract with various respiratory support modalities: invasive ventilation (through an endotracheal tube with an inflated cuff connected to a mechanical ventilator), helmet ventilation with a ...
However, the current commonly used sputum expulsion methods require disconnecting the ventilator and cannot work with the ventilator, which may cause a series of complications and the risk of infection by medical staff. Intelligent bionic expectoration is an innovative expectoration technology, which can achieve synchronous closed expectoration with ...
In patients with pulmonary obstruction, after 4 weeks of treatment, the patient's diaphragm muscle activity increased to varying degrees, pulmonary function indicators such as maximum minute ventilation and arterial oxygen pressure were significantly improved. ...
This case study discusses hospital readmissions and provides healthcare professionals with recommended medical algorithms in the form of scores, models, and calculators that can aid in reducing readmissions, especially when related to antibiotic resistant microbiological pathogens. When health analytics, such as the CDC antibiotic resistance program and other algorithms are integrated into ...
