In 30 difficult to wean adult patients (mean duration of ventilation 33 days), Younis et al (BMC Anesthesiology) collected ventilator and physiological data over two 23-hr periods (either during NAVA or PSV), followed by a cross-over to the other mode.… Read the rest

They say it can take up to 30 years between the time a product is “invented” to the time it is commercially available. And then, there is user acceptance, and widespread implementation and continuity of usage which takes even longer.
Table II – Time from Invention to commercialization of some technologies:
| Silicone | Insulin | Magnetic Recording |
| 1899 – first published paper on organo-silicon | 1920 – first ideas for extraction of insulin | 1893 – magnetic recording was invented |
| 1930 – first silicones could be produced in laboratory | 1922 – first human patient received insulin | 1898 – magnetic recording was patened |
| 1946 – General Electric produced silicone commercially | 1933 – production of the full-day insulin supply in one injection | 1937 – first tape recorder was produced |
Funny enough, the rate of adopting new technologies (so-called “consumption”) in the fields of entertainment (cell phone, iPod) and comfort (air conditioning) are increasing tremendously since the 1900’s.… Read the rest

Happy 2014! May this year be filled with new science and improvements in mechanical ventilation! In 2013, nearly the same number of peer-reviewed papers were published (33 articles in PUB MED) compared to 2012 (35 articles).
Over the last 20 years, the distribution of article “type” can be plotted as:
In 2013, the following articles were published:
