Ventilation Fundamentals 2025 AHA Guidelines: Recommend delivering each breath over one second. Audiovisual feedback devices have been shown to improve ROSC and survival to discharge from cardiac arrest. Delivering a breath over 1 second underscores that effective ventilation depends not only on volume but also on how that volume is delivered, through controlled flow and proper timing […]

Non-Invasive Ventilation: In-Depth Cli...
Quick Summary / Key Takeaways NIV delivers positive pressure through a mask or helmet, avoiding intubation. Landmark RCTs show NIV reduces mortality and intubation in COPD exacerbations and cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Evidence for hypoxemic respiratory failure (e.g., ARDS, pneumonia) is mixed — failure rates are higher, and delayed intubation worsens outcomes. Patient selection, mask fit, […]
