Abstract:
High frequency ventilation (HFV) is a kind of lung protective ventilation strategy. High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) can decrease the water content, relocate interstitial fluid and accelerate lymph flow in the lung of dogs with smoke inhalation injury. HFJV can effectively improve breathing mechanics and gas exchange in dogs with smoke inhalation injury. Clinical application also proves that HFV is efficient in treatment of inhalation injury.
