Ever since man has been on this planet, there has been the need to inflate the lungs. Apart from biblical references to the breath of life, there is an unbroken line of progress in creating artificial respiration methods. The need for a practical manual method of artificial respiration became evident in the industrial revolution (late 1700s) when coal mining asphyxiations and drowning were frequent. The need increased when anesthesia entered medicine in the mid 1800s. In the late 1800s, when…

Negative Pressure Noninvasive Ventilation (NPNIV): History, Rationale, and Application

    Nocturnal Non-Invasive Ventilation
  • 2015
TLDR
Understanding of the components of this critical physiologic function that starts at birth, and must be continuous and widely adaptable to support all levels of physical, metabolic, and functional needs, has evolved slowly over the millennia by many brilliant scientists from a combination of keen observation, imagination, daring experimentation, trial and error, and necessity.
Behind a Mask: Tricks, Pitfalls, and Prejudices for Noninvasive Ventilation

    Respiratory Care
  • 2013
TLDR
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is now considered, according to criteria of evidence-based medicine, the first-line treatment for an episode of acute respiratory failure in 4 pathologies (the Fabulous Four): COPD exacerbation, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, pulmonary infiltrates in immunocompromised patients, and in the weaning of extubated COPD patients.
Neurointensive Care Medicine as an Emerging ICU Subspecialty
TLDR
This chapter reviews the history of critical care as a subspecialty and the means for critical care certification both in the USA and internationally, and the evolution of neurocritical care and the accreditation of training programs and certification of individuals.
Inspection and Testing of Respirators and Anaesthesia Machines
TLDR
For patient safety, the most important thing is to check out the system regularly and in pre-use and to ensure that there exists a ready and functioning alternative solution for ventilating the patient’s lungs.
Ethics and Economics of Medical Supplies in the COVID-19 Pandemic
TLDR
The authors argue that the equitable allocation of medical supplies must consider the contexts and conditions of need; that political barriers to medical transfers undermine a government’s capacity to contain the contagion by reducing channels of access to medical goods; and that self-interested public policies often turn out to be counterproductive geopolitical strategies.
SEC-C-U: The Security of Intensive Care Unit Medical Devices and Their Ecosystems
TLDR
A taxonomy based on the functionality of 19 widely used ICUMDs is presented, providing an explanation of each device’s medical role, properties, interactions, and how they impact each other's security, leaving the devices and the patients vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
Calculation of Tidal Volume based on EMG-activity of the Diaphragm
The objective of the thesis was to evaluate the possibility to calculate the unloading distributionbetween a ventilator and a patient using a new mathematical modelling of the breathing patterns.Th…

Application of abdominal pressure for artificial respiration.
TLDR
This method increased the range of physical activities and improved vocational potentialities for those needing lifelong respiratory assistance after they have had poliomyelitis.
Artificial respiration by mouth-to-mask method; a study of the respiratory gas exchange of paralyzed patients ventilated by operator's expired air.
TLDR
Comparable data have not been reported concerning the simple and apparently effective procedure of mouth-to-mouth insufflation, one of the oldest known means of resuscitation, and the five-year survey of Ross indicates that the ancient method is infrequently used by rescue personnel.

QUESTIONS may be raised whether effective tidal exchange of air can be expected with the routine application of the currently taught chest-pressure arm-lift methods of resuscitation and whether the…
Report of the American Heart Association Task Force on the Future of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
TLDR
The task force was asked to predict what optimal CPR may be in the community setting in 5-10 years and how automatic defibrillation may affect procedures and define the likely implications for instruction if CPR procedures change.
Pneumobelt use among high quadriplegic population.
TLDR
The pneumobelt is recommended as a leading choice for interim or permanent ventilation of the high quadriplegic population without severe brainstem involvement with major reported advantages were cosmesis, improved speech, independence and mobility, comfort, safety, and health.
