A New Computational Method for Detecting Leak Flow and Tidal Volume Waveforms During Spontaneous or Mandatory Breathing Assisted with Nasopharyngeal Ventilation Open
Nasopharyngeal ventilation (NPV) is a common technique used to support breathing, particularly when a patient’s respiration is inadequate, such as under sedation. It involves delivering oxygen through an endotracheal tube positioned above …

Expiratory braking defines the breathing patterns of asphyxiated neonates during therapeutic hypothermia Open
Introduction Although neonatal breathing patterns vary after perinatal asphyxia, whether they change during therapeutic hypothermia (TH) remains unclear. We characterized breathing patterns in infants during TH for hypoxic-ischemic encepha…
