Abstract:Abstract. Measuring respiratory parameters like the breathing
frequency or the tidal volume is essential in intensive care to ensure an
optimal and lung protecting ventilation. A common practice in artificial
ventilation of sensitive patients like infants or neonates is the use of
uncuffed endotracheal tubes in combination with continuous positive airway
pressure (CPAP). This comes with the disadvantage of an unknown leakage
making it difficult to detect spontaneous breathing or to measure the tidal
volume rel… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
