Protective ventilation and classification in ICU patients
No full textInvasive mechanical ventilation has a strong potential to harm the lungs of critically ill patients. It was uncertain whether invasive ventilation in ICU patients without ‘acute respiratory distress syndrome’ (ARDS) should use low tidal volumes, alike in ICU patients with ARDS in whom this strategy has been shown to improve survival and shorten duration of ventilation. A multicenter randomized clinical trial tested whether use of a low tidal volume, when compared to use of an intermediate tidal volume, would shorten duration of ventilation in patients without ARDS. This trial showed no benefit of use of a low tidal volume. It should be noted, though, that patients were quickly weaned to a supported mode of ventilation, during which tidal volume size is less controllable. As a result, differences in tidal volumes in the two arms of the trial were small. Also, since intermediate tidal volumes are already relatively small, they may be sufficient protective.Further, secondary analyses of observational studies were used to determine which factors have an association with development of pulmonary complications and outcome in ICU patients without ARDS. The maximum airway pressure was the one single potentially modifiable ventilation factor associated with outcome in these patients, alike in patients with ARDS. Finally, it was determined how ICU patients can best be classified for the risk of death. Classification using cutoffs for pulse-oximetry readings and the positive end-expiratory pressure level at 24 hours after start of ventilation has a better prognostic capacity then at start of ventilation

Foresea: An installation about sea level rise at Oerol 2016
No full textForesea is the result of course 'AR0148 - landscape architecture ON site' 2016, initiated by the section Landscape Architecture at the faculty of Architecture. Central aim of this course is to express the given site in a project at the interface between landscape architecture and landscape art, which will be performed during the Oerol festival in June on the island of Terschelling. Experiences of the place and the results of research and analysis form the base of the project.Architecture and The Built EnvironmentUrbanismAR0148 - landscape architecture ON siteLandscape Architectur

Mixscapes: improving landscape qualities around Boxtel by introducing alternative agricultural functions
No full textWhat is the relationship between landscape and agriculture? How can agriculture contibute to the development of the landscape? This research aims to investigate the power of agriculture over landscape form. The research goals are the creation of a diverse landscape structure with sustainable principals and strong identity. The hypothesis is that this will happen by strengthening the relationship between landscape and agriculture with Boxtel, North Brabant, the Netherlands serving as a case study. Wild boar and deer farming are introduced in the forest next to Boxtel, as an alternative kind of agriculture in order to improve the landscape qualities of the site. More productive functions are discussed as a potential development for this landscape following the starting principals, diversity, sustainability and identity.Architecture and The Built EnvironmentUrbanismLandscape ArchitectureFlowscape
