Background: Nocturnal SpO monitoring is recommended for detecting residual sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), including nocturnal hypoventilation, in patients treated by non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). It is a general assumption that different pulse oximetry devices will provide similar results. This may, however, not be correct.

Mean Airway Pressure-An Informative but Overlooked Indicator of Mechanical Power.

Crit Care Explor

September 2025

Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care, and Sleep, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN.

Mean airway pressure, a monitored variable continuously available on the modern ventilator, is the pressure measured at the airway opening averaged over the time needed to complete the entire respiratory cycle. Mean airway pressure is well recognized to connect three key physiologic processes in mechanical ventilation: physical stretch, cardiovascular dynamics, and pulmonary gas exchange. Although other parameters currently employed in adults to determine "safe" ventilation are undoubtedly valuable for daily practice, all have limitations for continuous monitoring of ventilation hazard.

Background/objectives: Respiratory viruses circulate year-round and can spread indoors via inhalation of airborne particles. Effective ventilation and filtration may reduce transmission, particularly in school settings where children and staff spend significant time. This study examines the impact of indoor air quality (IAQ) and ventilation in schools on respiratory virus detection.

Background: Volatile anesthetics are gaining recognition for their benefits in long-term sedation of mechanically ventilated patients with bacterial pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. In addition to their sedative role, they also exhibit anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, though the mechanisms behind these effects remain only partially understood. In vitro studies examining the prolonged impact of volatile anesthetics on bacterial growth, inflammatory cytokine response, and surfactant proteins - key to maintaining lung homeostasis - are still lacking.
