1
Background and objective: Aerosol therapies are widely used for mechanically ventilated patients.
2
Sedative drugs are widely used in intensive care, primarily in ventilated patients.
3
Purpose: To review critically the literature on pulmonary barotrauma in mechanically ventilated patients.
4
Patients and participants: Twenty-nine consecutive mechanically ventilated patients with no contraindications for semirecumbency.
5
A systematic approach to reducing physical restraint use among mechanically ventilated patients is needed.
6
Objective: In mechanically ventilated patients flow limitation often goes unrecognised.
7
Patients and participants: 10 mechanically ventilated patients, without chronic airway disease, ready to wean.
8
Conclusions: Aerosol therapy concerns every fourth critically ill patient and one-fifth of ventilated patients.
9
Participants: 485 consecutive mechanically ventilated patients with acute lung injury.
10
There is a high prevalence of laryngeal sensory deficits in mechanically ventilated patients post-extubation.
11
Sedation and analgesia are central elements in the care of critically ill, mechanically- ventilated patients.
12
Objective: Early mobility in mechanically ventilated patients is safe, feasible, and may improve functional outcomes.
13
The simplicity of our method allows its application to children or even artificially ventilated patients.
14
Ventilated patients were weaned from the ventilator after 16 days (median).
15
The techniques and results from this study may be useful for all mechanically ventilated patients.
16
Background: In unconscious ventilated patients, various eye protective measures have been used to prevent corneal abrasions.
