Performance of different continuous positive airway pressure helmets equipped with safety valves during failure of fresh gas supply

Milan, Manuela Zanella, Alberto Isgrò, Stefano

Purpose: We assessed the performance of different continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) helmets equipped with a safety valve during discontinuation of fresh gas flow. Methods: This was a physiological study of five healthy volunteers. We delivered CPAP (fresh gas flow 60 l/min, FiO260%, PEEP 5 cmH2O) with three different helmets in a...

Effects on membrane lung gas exchange of an intermittent high gas flow recruitment maneuver: preliminary data in veno-venous ECMO patients

Castagna, Luigi Zanella, Alberto Scaravilli, Vittorio

Gas exchange capabilities of polymethylpentene membrane lungs (MLs) worsen over time. ML deterioration is related to protein deposit and clot formation. Condensation and trapping of water vapor inside ML hollow fibers might affect ML performances as well. Increasing sweep gas flow (GF) could remove such fluid. The purpose of this study was to...
