Patient-ventilator asynchrony during assisted mechanical ventilation

Reads0
Chats0
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.

Dyspnea and surface inspiratory electromyograms in mechanically ventilated patients.

TL;DR: Surface electromyograms of extradiaphragmatic inspiratory muscles provides a simple, reliable and non-invasive indicator of respiratory muscle loading/unloading in mechanically ventilated patients.

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) allows patient-ventilator synchrony during pediatric noninvasive ventilation: a crossover physiological study

TL;DR: NIV-NAVA is feasible and well tolerated in PICU patients and allows improved patient-ventilator synchronization, and Inspiratory trigger dys-synchrony and cycling-off dys- synchrony periods were significantly shorter in NIV- NAVA versus initial and final conventional NIV periods.

Automatic detection of patient-ventilator asynchrony by spectral analysis of airway flow

TL;DR: Spectral analysis of airway flow provides an automatic, non-invasive assessment of ventilator asynchrony at fixed short intervals and can be adapted to ventilATOR systems as a clinical monitor of as synchrony.

Physiological effects of noninvasive positive ventilation during acute moderate hypercapnic respiratory insufficiency in children.

TL;DR: This study shows that NPPV is able to unload the respiratory muscles and improve clinical outcome in young patients admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit for acute moderate hypercapnic respiratory insufficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parasternal electromyography to determine the relationship between patient-ventilator asynchrony and nocturnal gas exchange during home mechanical ventilation set-up

TL;DR: Severe PVA was identified in the majority of patients, irrespective of pathophysiological disease state, and was not associated with ineffective ventilation as evidenced by gas exchange.

The SOFA (Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment) score to describe organ dysfunction/failure. On behalf of the Working Group on Sepsis-Related Problems of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine.

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

J R Le Gall, +2 more
- 22 Dec 1993 - 
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

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.
