Mechanical ventilation is classified into two main types: Invasive ventilation and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) while the selection of one type over the other is based on patient severity besides inclusion versus exclusion criteria. Generally, several ventilator support modes are available while time-...
Just like boats, airplanes, or other forms of transporation there are going to be some spacecraft that are general purpose and others that are drastically optimized for a specific task. General Ship Types Artwork by R. A. Smith Yes, the line between general ship types and specialized ship ty...
and having a ventilation valve, the control inlet of which ventilation valve is connected to the suction port of the vacuum source, the output of which ventilation valve opens out between the control valve and the non-return valve, and the input of which ventilation valve is open to the envi...
Dielectric elastomer (DEs) is an electromechanical transducer, used to change electrical energy into mechanical energy. These elastomers work in two modes like actuator and general. In actuator mode, it changes the energy from electrical to mechanical whereas, in general mode, it converts the energy...
Metro systems are one of the most popular modes of public transport in urban areas. However, the large number of airborne particles on platforms in underground metro systems and the negative effect such particles have on human beings has attracted much attention (Braniš, 2006, Brook et al.,...
Predictive Maintenance � Thermal imaging is a valuable tool in predictive maintenance of electrical, mechanical and structural problems and can also be used to verify repairs. Energy Saving � Energy costs are increasing at a substantially alarming rate. Missing or low quality insulation, inadequate...
Disasters are increasing around the world. Children are greatly impacted by both natural disasters (forces of nature) and man-made (intentional, accidental) disasters. Their unique anatomical, physiological, behavioral, developmental, and psychological..
PVA occurred during all phases of ventilated breaths and all modes of ventilation. The most common type of PVA was Ineffective Trigger. Ineffective trigger occurs when the patient's own breath effort will not trigger a ventilator breath. The overall frequency of asynchronous breaths in the sample ...

Background: Patient ventilator asynchrony (PVA) occurs frequently, but little is known about the types and frequency of PVA. Asynchrony is associated with significant patient discomfort, distress and poor clinical outcomes (duration of mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit and hospital stay). ...
