A 66-year-old male with past medical history of restrictive lung disease, obstructive sleep apnea and pulmonary hypertension, presented to the operating room for an incarcerated inguinal hernia. After abdominal closure, he gradually developed decreased oxygen saturation and hypotension. APRV was initiated during post operative day 2 after inability to maintain adequate oxygen saturation with resultant hypotension on pressure control ventilation with varying degrees of positive end expiratory pressure and 100% inspired oxygen concentration. The initial set high pressure on APRV was 35 mm Hg. Yet, in lieu of decreasing lung compliance, it peaked at 50 mm Hg. Eventually, inhaled Nitric Oxide was initiated post operative day 3 due to increasing pulmonary arterial pressures. A bedside laparotomy was eventually performed when bladder pressures peaked to 25 mm Hg. APRV gradually and temporally improved the oxygen saturation and decreased the pulmonary arterial pressures with subsequent increase in systemic blood pressures. APRV promoted alveolar recruitment and decreased the shunting associated with abdominal compartment syndrome. Better oxygen saturations lead to increases in blood pressure by decreasing the effects of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction on the right ventricle (RV). In patients with decreasing lung compliance and pulmonary comorbidities, APRV appears safe and allows for improve oxygenation, after failure with conventional modes of ventilation.展开更多

With the increase of mining ratio, the peak over-supporting pressure decreases: with the increase of top coal recovery thickness, the peak over-supporting pressure and the influence range will be further expanded, and the distance between the peak over-supporting pressure and the coal wall of the working face will be further increased and the high stress zone of the peak area will be expanded simultaneously.展开更多

This study used the convergence-confinement method to determine the stress and displacement of the tunnel while considering the counter-pressure curve of the ground base, the stress release effect, and the interaction between the tunnel lining and the rock surrounding the tunnel chamber. The results allowed for the determination of the installation time, distribution and strength of supporting structures. This method was applied to the intake tunnel in the Ban Ve Hydroelectric Power Plant, in Nghe An Province, Vietnam. The results show that when a suitable displacement u0 ranging from 0.0865 m to 0.0919 m occurrs, we can install supporting structures that satisfy the stability and economical requirements.展开更多

This will lead to failure of structure. By using the variational principle of moving boundary and considering the contact effect between delamination regions, in this work, the delamination growth was investigated for cylindrical shells under the action of external pressure. At the same time, according to the Griffith criterion, the formulas of energy release rate along the delamination front were obtained. In the numerical calculation, the delamination growth of axisymmetrical laminated cylindrical shells was analyzed, and the effects of delamination sizes and depths, the geometrical parameters, the material properties, and the laminate stacking sequences on delamination growth were discussed.展开更多

文摘Background:Airway pressure release ventilation(APRV)can be used for cadaveric donor lung recruitment.APRV elevates PaO_(2)in donor lungs;however,reported outcomes in recipients with APRVmanaged donor lungs are limited.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent lung transplantation(LTx)from 2012 to 2013 and divided them into two groups based on mode of ventilation used during donor management and organ extraction(A:non-APRV;B:APRV).Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate Cox regression were used for analysis.Results:We found 126 LTx recipients(LTxRs);9 were excluded for use of portable ventilation perfusion systems.Of the remaining 117 patients,81(69%)were in Group A;36(31%)were in Group B.Preoperative LTxR characteristics(age,sex,lung allocation score,endstage lung disease type)were comparable between groups.Donors for Group B were older(P=0.03)and had higher body mass index(BMI)(P<0.001),higher incidence of death from chest trauma(P=0.008),longer ventilation duration after brain death(P<0.001),and higher pre-explant PaO_(2)/FiO_(2)ratios(P<0.001).Post-LTx duration of mechanical ventilation,hospital stay,and median survival were similar in both groups.Risk of death was comparable between the two groups at the end of follow-up(HR=1.42;95%CI:0.57-3.56;P=0.45).Conclusions:APRV is a safe and effective pre-LTx donor lung management strategy.Short-and long-term survival outcomes were comparable in LTx recipients,irrespective of donor ventilation mode.APRV may help recruit lungs from older donors with higher BMI who die from chest trauma and have anticipated longer ventilation duration.
