Indications for mechanical ventilation

Driving pressure (ΔP=Plateau pressure-PEEP) is highly correlated with postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and appears to be a promising indicator for optimizing ventilator settings. We hypothesized that dynamic, individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) guided by ΔP could reduce postoperative atelectasis and improve intraoperative oxygenation, respiratory mechanics, and reduce the incidence of PPCs on elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

Pneumonia and septic pneumonic shock are the most common indications for long-term mechanical ventilation and prolonged weaning, independent of any comorbidities. Multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria are emerging as a cause of pneumonia or occur as a consequence of antimicrobial therapy.

(BQ) It is the intent of this book to familiarize not only physicians, but also nurses and respiratory technologists with the concepts that underlie mechanical ventilation. A conscious attempt has been made to stay in touch with medical physiology throughout this book, in order to specifically address the hows and whys of mechanical ventilation. At the same time, this book incorporates currently accepted strategies for the mechanical ventilation of patients with specific disorders; this should be of some value to specialists practicing in their respective ICUs.

(BQ) This book began where the writing of another was suspended. What was intended to be a short chapter in a handbook of respiratory diseases outgrew its confines and expanded to the proportions of a book.

In the present study, a novel passive solar system—a designed sunspace in combination with solar chimney (SS)—is implied to work out the concerns of energy requirement in the terraced rural dwellings of Iran. Renewable plans for heating need to be implemented before regarding mechanical facilities. Due to the southern orientation of most rural homes moreover, dwelling slope it is likely to use sunlight in most hours of the day. Hence, the SS system with an area of 4 m2 on the southern side of the building is considered.
