Respiratory response and inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation in COPD patients

TL;DR: In COPD patients, different levels of PSV may induce different respiratory patterns and gas exchange, and the addition of PEEPe, not exceeding dynamic intrinsic PEEP, may also reduce the metabolic work of the diaphragm without altering gas exchange.
Journal ArticleDOI

Respiratory mechanics by least squares fitting in mechanically ventilated patients: Applications during paralysis and during pressure support ventilation

TL;DR: The LSF method allows non-invasive evaluation of respiratory mechanics during PSV, provided that a near-relaxation condition is obtained by means of an adequately increased pressure support level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unfavorable mechanical effects of heat and moisture exchangers in ventilated patients.

TL;DR: The mechanical effects of artificial noses are investigated in a general intensive care unit of a university hospital to investigate the mechanical effects in patients in pressure support ventilation for acute respiratory distress.
