Respiratory Support and Mechanisms
Respiratory Support and Mechanisms is a research topic within Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine. Science Explorer counts 71k research works in it since 1950. 14.7% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on mechanical ventilation strategies, including lower tidal volumes, positive end-expiratory pressure, and prone positioning, for the management of acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It also covers topics such as noninvasive ventilation, high-flow oxygen therapy, and diaphragm dysfunction in the context of respiratory failure.
