Patient-ventilator asynchrony during assisted mechanical ventilation
Reads0

TLDR
One-fourth of patients exhibit a high incidence of asynchrony during assisted ventilation, which is associated with a prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation and with excessive levels of ventilatory support.Abstract:
Objective
The incidence, pathophysiology, and consequences of patient-ventilator asynchrony are poorly known. We assessed the incidence of patient-ventilator asynchrony during assisted mechanical ventilation and we identified associated factors.read more

Diaphragm-protective mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory failure
TL;DR: In this paper , a review outlines clinical evidence of ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction and its underlying mechanisms, and strategies to facilitate diaphrasm-protective mechanical ventilation.
Intracuff alkalinized lidocaine reduces sedative/analgesic requirement for mechanically ventilated patients
TL;DR: Intracuff alkalinized lidocaine increases ETT tolerance and hence, decreases the sedatives/analgesic requirements for mechanically ventilated patients, thus improving patient-ventilator synchronization.

Identifying asynchronies: Reverse trigger
TL;DR: A variety of asynchronies between the patient’s respiratory efforts and the programed ventilatory settings have been categorized and phenotype these events using the Campbell diagram (pressure–volume loop) by differentiating their occurrence during inspiration and expiration.

TL;DR: The ESICM developed a so-called sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) score to describe quantitatively and as objectively as possible the degree of organ dysfunction/failure over time in groups of patients or even in individual patients.

A new Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS II) based on a European/North American multicenter study
TL;DR: The SAPS II, based on a large international sample of patients, provides an estimate of the risk of death without having to specify a primary diagnosis, and is a starting point for future evaluation of the efficiency of intensive care units.

Inspiratory Pressure Support Prevents Diaphragmatic Fatigue during Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation
TL;DR: Pressure support ventilation can assist spontaneous breathing and avoid diaphragmatic fatigue in patients demonstrating difficulties in weaning from the ventilator and clinical monitoring of sternocleidomastoid muscle activity allows the required level of pressure support to be determined to prevent fatigue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ventilator-induced Diaphragmatic Dysfunction
TL;DR: This Critical Care Perspective defines the phenomenon, henceforth referred to as ventilatorinduced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD), as a loss of diaphRAGmatic force-generating capacity that is specifically related to the use of mechanical ventilation.

Impact of PEEP on lung mechanics and work of breathing in severe airflow obstruction
T. C. Smith,J. J. Marini +1 more
TL;DR: Low levels of PEEP may improve lung mechanics and reduce the effort required of mechanically ventilated patients with severe airflow obstruction, without substantially increasing the hazards of hyperinflation.
