Lluis Blanch,Ana Villagrá,Bernat Sales,Jaume Montanya,Umberto Lucangelo,Manel Luján,Oscar Garcia-Esquirol,Encarna Chacón,Anna Estruga,Joan Carles Oliva,Alberto Hernandez-Abadia,Guillermo M. Albaiceta,Enrique Fernández-Mondéjar,Rafael Fernandez,Josefina López-Aguilar,Jesús Villar,Gastón Murias,Robert M. Kacmarek +17 more
TL;DR: Asynchronies are common throughout MV, occurring in all MV modes, and more frequently during the daytime, when patients with an AI above the cutoff are admitted to intensive care unit beds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of the Better Care® system to detect ineffective efforts during expiration in mechanically ventilated patients: a pilot study.
Lluis Blanch,Bernat Sales,Jaume Montanya,Umberto Lucangelo,Oscar Garcia-Esquirol,Ana Villagrá,Encarna Chacón,Anna Estruga,Massimo Borelli,Mª Jose Burgueno,Joan Carles Oliva,Rafael Fernandez,Jesús Villar,Robert M. Kacmarek,Gastón Murias +14 more
TL;DR: This pilot study validated mathematical algorithms that automatically detect IEE in a computerized system that obtains and processes data from intensive care unit (ICU) ventilators in real time.
Journal ArticleDOI
