Officials have pointed to the anesthesia machines as a resource for hospitals. Anticipating ongoing shortages of ventilator machines as the coronavirus continues to spread across the country, states ...

A study, published in Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, examined the use of an automated system to detect ventilator-associated events in real time. Researchers conducted a retrospective ...

Increased use of ventilation and air cleaners, designed to mitigate the spread of viral infections in hospitals, is likely to have unpredictable effects and may cause viral particles to move around ...

Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) is the most prevalent healthcare-associated infection, with 65% of HAPs occurring in non-ventilated patients as non-ventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia (NV-HAP).1 ...

A meta-trial of randomized clinical studies conducted in 6 countries suggests that the use of inhaled heparin dramatically reduced the risk of intubation, death, and in-hospital death in hospitalized ...

The field of mechanical ventilation has grown since the iron lung was developed to support the victims of the polio epidemic the 1950s. Positive-pressure ventilation via an artificial airway has ...
