In a retrospective study of 100 patients treated with prolonged mechanical ventilation, water retention without evidence of cardiac failure developed in 19. This was associated with radiologic evid ...

Introduction. Acute left heart failure is a well-documented complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI).1 Acute MI is complicated by cardiogenic shock in 5%–10% of the cases2, 3 and by pulmonary ...

Background: Noninvasive ventilation has been studied as a means of reducing complications among patients being weaned from invasive mechanical ventilation. We sought to summarize evidence comparing ...
