Abstract:Background: Conventional mechanical ventilation has adverse impacts on hemodynamics of older hypertensive ICU patients. Limited studies have addressed way to ameliorate these negative effects. This study aimed at determining if heliox ventilation mitigated the side-effects of conventional mechanical ventilation in senile hypertensive patients.
Methods: Seventy-nine older adults aged 65 to 95 years with essential hypertension who underwent invasive mechanical ventilation treatment, were divided into two groups:… Show more
