Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in blunt chest trauma patients without immediate life-threatening injuries is commonly used to prevent the need for endotracheal intubation. However, the actual benefits of NIV in this context have not been extensively studied. Existing literature in this field has been limited by variations in study designs, patient...Read more

Most forms of ventilatory support in intensive care before the 1950s were noninvasive without direct access to the lower airways, using face mask for positive pressure or generating negative pressure around the chest. Ventilators stimulating negative pressure were designed in the late 19th century. The first application of positive end-expiratory pressure...Read more

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is recommended for immunocompromised patients with acute respiratory failure in the ICU. However, it can have harmful effects. High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) alone could be an alternative strategy to reduce mortality. The HFNC Alone or Associated With NIV for Immunocompromised Patients Admitted to ICU for Acute Respiratory...Read more

In seriously ill older adults or those near the end of life, acute respiratory failure is a common cause of hospitalisation. These hospitalisations are generally complicated by distressful respiratory symptoms and transitions that require the use of high-intensity, high-risk interventions, including invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and non-invasive ventilation...Read more

Getinge has received 510(k) clearance from the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the company’s Servo-air® mechanical ventilator, which is part of the Servo family that supports intensive care ventilation ever since the first model was introduced in 1971. "We are happy to be able to help clinicians in their endeavor to save lives by adding...Read more

Q: Starting from the patient admission to the hospital, what is your rule for ventilation? Do you start from HFNC, CPAP, NIV or go directly to intubation and invasive ventilation when the conventional oxygen therapy fails? A: The use of HFNC as well as NIV is very popular among our patients. At the initial stage we didn’t have enough devices,...Read more

At this moment, over 100,000 people has been diagnosed with COVID-19. The number of confirmed cases outside the Chinese mainland has already reached over 25,000. Countries like Japan, South Korea, Italy and Iran have reported thousands of COVID-19 cases. AS the World Health Organization warned that "the window of opportunity is narrowing" to contain...Read more

A recent study assessed the ability of early noninvasive ventilation (NIV) intervention to decrease the need for invasive ventilation in patients with mild forms of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This method has already proved successful for acute respiratory failure patients but has not been tested in ARDS. Use of NIV in ARDS patients...Read more
