Apnea Testing on Conventional Mechanical Ventilation During Brain Death Evaluation
Abstract Introduction The use of continuous positive airway pressure has been shown to improve the tolerance of the apnea test, a critical component of brain death evaluation. The ability to deactivate the apnea backup setting has made apnea testing possible using several conventional mechanical ventilators. Our goal was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of […]
