Obtaining of the Modified NH4NO3 Granules with 3-D Nanoporous Structure: Impact of Humidifier Type on the Granule’s Structure
2018
The article deals with the study of the porous ammonium nitrate granules’ (PAN) nanoporous structure of surface and surface layers. The research results, presented in the article, show that the suggested way to generate PAN allows to provide the granule porous structure without destruction of core and disposal of air from the granules. Analysis of experiments results has shown that various types of humidifiers can form various kinds of pores after drying – “mechanical” pores and “modification” pores. Various types of humidifiers have significant effect on the ratio of values of “mechanical” and “modification” pores. The obtained results allow to select the optimal humidifier composition, wh…
Noninvasive Ventilation in Critically Ill Patients
2015
Since its first application in the late 1980s, noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been the first-line intervention for certain forms of acute respiratory failure. NIV may be delivered through the patient's mouth, nose, or both using noninvasive intermittent positive pressure ventilation or continuous positive airway pressure. When applied appropriately, NIV may reduce morbidity and mortality and may avert iatrogenic complications and infections associated with invasive mechanical ventilation. This article provides physicians and respiratory therapists with a comprehensive, practical guideline for using NIV in critical care. © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
