Measurement of air trapping, intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure, and dynamic hyperinflation in mechanically ventilated patients

L Blanch, F Bernabé, U Lucangelo - Respiratory care, 2005 - rc.rcjournal.com
Severe airflow obstruction is a common cause of acute respiratory failure. Dynamic hyperinflation
affects tidal ventilation, increases airways resistance, and causes intrinsic positive end-…

Tidal volume reduction for prevention of ventilator-induced lung injury in acute respiratory distress syndrome

…, P Factor, D Matamis, M Ranieri, L Blanch… - American journal of …, 1998 - atsjournals.org
Because animal studies have demonstrated that mechanical ventilation at high volume and
pressure can be deleterious to the lungs, limitation of airway pressure, allowing hypercapnia …

Effect of spontaneous breathing trial duration on outcome of attempts to discontinue mechanical ventilation

…, A Gil, F Gordo, I Vallverdu, L Blanch… - American journal of …, 1999 - atsjournals.org
The duration of spontaneous breathing trials before extubation has been set at 2 h in research
studies, but the optimal duration is not known. We conducted a prospective, multicenter …

Continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions in preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia

JR Hotchkiss Jr, L Blanch, G Murias… - American journal of …, 2000 - atsjournals.org
To determine if decreased respiratory frequency (ventilatory rate) improves indices of lung
damage, 17 sets of isolated, perfused rabbit lungs were ventilated with a peak static airway …
