For the first time, scientists are able to directly compare the different kinds of injury that mechanical ventilation causes to cells in the lungs. In a new study, using a ventilator-on-a-chip model ...

A new study from Tulane University suggests that repeated collapse and reopening of tiny alveoli—air sacs in the lungs essential for breathing—during mechanical ventilation may cause microscopic ...

Mechanical ventilation, the use of a machine to help a person breathe, was not something many people thought about all that often—until the COVID pandemic struck. Stories of patients being put on ...

Breathing in the warm summer breeze and exhaling a smoky breath into the icy winter air are all made possible by our lungs—without them, a person couldn’t survive. However, the lungs are vulnerable to ...

Using a lung and diaphragm protective ventilation strategy guided by a computerized decision support tool during the acute phase of ventilation shortened the duration of weaning, a pediatric phase II ...

Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) can be trained to detect lung disease in premature babies by analysing their breathing patterns while they sleep, according to research presented at the European ...

Among patients with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease, there was no significant difference in the ...
