Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Nov-2008
Experimental animal data and uncontrolled, observational studies in human infants have suggested that hyperventilation and hypocapnia may be associated with increased pulmonary and neurodevelopmental morbidity. Protective ventilatory strategies allowing h
- Permissive hypoxaemia versus normoxaemia for mechanically ventilated critically ill patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-May-2014
Permissive hypoxaemia describes a concept in which a lower level of arterial oxygenation (PaO2) than usual is accepted to avoid the detrimental effects of high fractional inspired oxygen and invasive mechanical ventilation. Currently however, no specific
