Objectives: To identify factors involved in reno-pulmonary interactions during mechanical ventilation.
Materials And Methods: The study included a total of 25 domestic piglets. The animals were divided into three groups based on different strategies of ventilation. Group A; spontaneously breathing piglets; group B animals ventilated with tidal volume of 6 ml.kg-1 and group C with animals ventilated with tidal volume 10 ml.kg-1. Clinical monitoring and laboratory tests were performed for all groups at baseline and then at 1 hour and 12 hours for groups B and C. Ventilation indices, hemodynamics, urine output, creatinine clearance, glomerular filtration index, fractional excretion of sodium, free water clearance and tissue samples were recorded. The data obtained were statistically analysed.
Results: Lower creatinine clearance and renal indices were seen in group B (p < 0.05) and in group C (p < 0.001) at 1 hour, and a difference in urine output for group C (p < 0.01) compared to group A was observed. At 12 hours, there was a further reduction in creatinine clearance and renal indices for group B (p < 0.05) and group C (p < 0.01). The lung mechanics and hemodynamics were not significantly influenced.
Conclusions: The study showed a causal relationship between renal dysfunction and positive pressure mechanical ventilation with respect to tidal volume and time (Tab. 4, Fig. 2, Ref. 17).

Mechanical ventilation is the process through which breathing support is provided to patients who face inconvenience during respiration. During the pandemic, many people were suffering from lung disorders, which elevated the demand for mechanical ventilators. The handling of mechanical ventilators is to be done under the assistance of trained professionals and demands the selection of ideal parameters.

An understanding of intracellular mechanisms by which fentanyl and other synthetic opioids exert adverse effects on breathing is needed. Using freely moving adult male guinea pigs, we administered the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, L-NAME (N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester), to determine whether nitrosyl factors, such as nitric oxide and S-nitrosothiols, play a role in fentanyl-induced respiratory depression. Ventilatory parameters were recorded by whole body plethysmography to determine the effects of fentanyl (75 μg/kg, IV) in guinea pigs that had received a prior injection of vehicle (saline), L-NAME or the inactive D-isomer, D-NAME (both at 50 μmol/kg, IV), 15 min beforehand.

Perioperative cardiac arrest (POCA) remains a major challenge in surgical settings, with low survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This study aims to identify predictive factors for 24 h survival after CPR and cause of POCA. A retrospective, single-center study was conducted on patients aged ≥18 years who experienced POCA and received CPR in the operating room or within 2 h postoperatively at Chiang Mai University Hospital from 2010 to 2019.

Introduction: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the reference treatment for chronic respiratory failure (CRF) due to impairment of the ventilatory system. Home initiation is increasingly practiced. To better support this ambulatory shift, we aimed to assess the implementation constraints and short-term efficacy according to different aetiologies of CRF.

Manual and mechanical ventilation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation are critical yet poorly understood components of resuscitation care. In recent years, intra-arrest ventilation has been the subject of a growing number of laboratory and clinical investigations. Essential components to accurately interpret or reproduce original investigations are the exact measurement and transparent reporting of key ventilation parameters, such as volumes and airway pressures obtained during ongoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
