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

“Nocturnal” Noninvasive Ventilation: An Overview
TL;DR: Noninvasive ventilation represents a ventilatory support strategy employed without the use of endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy, which should be considered in several clinical settings.

Impact on the ability of healthcare professionals to correctly identify patient-ventilator asynchronies of the simultaneous visualization of estimated muscle pressure curves on the ventilator display: a randomized study (Pmus study)
Patricia Nery de Souza,Caio C. A. Morais,Juliana Carvalho Ferreira,Marcelo Alcântara Holanda,Wellington Pereira Yamaguti,Eduardo Leite Vieira Costa +5 more
TL;DR: A prospective single-center randomized study with parallel assignment was conducted to assess whether the display of the estimated inspiratory muscle pressure (Pmus) waveform would improve the correct identification of asynchronies in simulated clinical scenarios as mentioned in this paper .

Automatic Selector Between Cardiogenic Oscillation and Airway Secretion in Mechanical Ventilation Flow Signals Using Artificial Immune System
TL;DR: An artificial immune system algorithm is used in a pre-processed flow signal to automatically detect the presence or absence of airway secretions, even if the sample contains the influence of cardiogenic oscillation.

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.
