An operation to clear the fluid and to insert ventilation tubes (grommets) may be advised if glue ear persists. This leaflet is about the operations used to treat glue ear. , glue ear grommet...
Artificial ventilation: Mechanical ventilation: This involves the patient being put into a coma, using medication and paralysing their breathing.
Other external air pollution or airborne particles (eg, pollen, moulds) have been postulated but the evidence is unconvincing. [ 5 ] The prime suspect in most cases is inadequate ventilation...
Most babies have initial RDS and require respiratory support in the form of ventilation or CPAP. They respond well to initial surfactant and ventilation, with improvement in the r...
Assisted ventilation: Mechanical ventilation: The goal of mechanical ventilation in acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure is to support adequate gas exchange witho...
In premature infants, these may occur from excessive positive pressure ventilation, or they may be spontaneous. Any infection may cause respiratory distress and may co-exist with IRDS; rap...
Endotracheal intubation and invasive ventilation The primary indication for endotracheal intubation and invasive ventilation is respiratory failure leading to hypoxaemia, hype...
A team approach is demanding of personnel and resources and, in smaller institutions, non-hospital settings or with mass casualties, available personnel and resources can rapidly be overwhelmed: ...
Severe illness was supported in a high dependency or critical care environment by intubation and ventilation (to help with breathing) and vasopressor medicines to help maintain blood pressur...
Assisted breathing options: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV), also called non-invasive intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV), is often useful (see below).
But most patients need mechanical ventilation. Indications for ventilation [ 7 ] Severe hypoxaemia: PaO 2 : <60mm Hg (8.3 kPa) despite 0.6 F...
Nasal continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) is superior to oxygen therapy alone in avoiding ventilation. [ 3 ] Ventilation may be necessary. Pneumothoraces will need chest dra...
How aggressive respiratory management should be is controversial: opinion and practice vary from offering no respiratory support to the use of tracheostomy and long-term invasive ventilation ...
The clinical picture of dyspnoea, cough and hypoxia is referred to as blast lung syndrome and represents impaired gas exchange and vascular shunting with ventilation mismatching. [ 1 ] Pulmo...
Pneumopericardium (mechanical ventilation or gastropericardial fistula). Aortic dissection . Presentation It may present subacutely with anxiety, fatigue, altered mental sta...
An operation to clear the fluid and to insert ventilation tubes (grommets) or temporary use of hearing aids may be advised if glue ear persists.
Intensive care with supportive treatments, such as assisted ventilation, may be needed if the pneumonia is severe. Assisted ventilation is used to support breathing temporarily when ...
Admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) : intubation and assisted ventilation may be required. Pain relief : may be required for neuropathic pain. When to admit the patient to th...
More effective ventilation and oxygenation. Facilitation of suctioning. Delivery of anaesthetic and other drugs via the endotracheal tube (ETT).
Have recently had ventilation changes made to your home (eg, installation of double glazing). Use a fire in your hearth and do not have your chimney swept regularly (at least once a year, ...
