Background: Over-ventilation causing low arterial carbon dioxide levels (PaCO2) has been associated with the development of neonatal chronic lung disease and adverse outcomes. This may occur very soon ...

The Amount of Air Moved In and Out While Breathing srdjan111 / iStock / Getty Images Medically reviewed by Sanja Jelic, MD Tidal volume (Vt or TV) is the amount of air you move through your lungs each ...

Background: In anesthetized patients undergoing surgery, the role of lung-protective ventilation with lower tidal volumes is unclear. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs ...

Among patients without acute respiratory distress syndrome, protective mechanical ventilation with use of lower tidal volumes (the volume of air inhaled and exhaled during each breath) was associated ...

Better Outcomes for Ventilation With Lower Tidal Volumes Protective ventilation with lower tidal volumes is associated with better clinical outcomes in patients without acute respiratory distress ...

WHEN a patient is unable to breathe by himself, the single most important responsibility of the physician is to provide adequate ventilation of the lungs. Artificial respiration during anesthesia may ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Children with asthma and obesity breathe at higher tidal volumes, which may increase the efficiency of ...

We assess the performance of the respiratory system by measuring how much air is inspired or expired each minute. This is called minute ventilation. To calculate minute ventilation, we also need to ...

Tidal volume is the amount of air breathed in with each normal breath. The average tidal volume is 0.5 litres (500 ml). Inspiratory reserve volume is the maximum amount of additional air that can be ...
