Scientists are now able to directly compare the different kinds of injury that mechanical ventilation causes to cells in the lungs. In a new study, using a ventilator-on-a-chip model, researchers ...

A new study from Tulane University suggests that repeated collapse and reopening of tiny alveoli-air sacs in the lungs essential for breathing-during mechanical ventilation may cause microscopic ...

Using a lung and diaphragm protective ventilation strategy guided by a computerized decision support tool during the acute phase of ventilation shortened the duration of weaning, a pediatric phase II ...

Artificial ventilation can save lives, but it also puts pressure on lung tissue. If the lungs are pre-damaged, pressurized ventilation can even have undesirable effects. This is especially true of ...

A new study sheds light on ventilator-induced lung injury, a complication that gained increased attention during the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a surge in patients requiring mechanical ...

Mechanical ventilation, the use of a machine to help a person breathe, was not something many people thought about all that often—until the COVID pandemic struck. Stories of patients being put on ...

The purpose of mechanical ventilation is to rest the respiratory muscles while providing adequate gas exchange. Ventilatory support proved to be indispensable during the 1952 polio epidemic in ...
