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.

Patient-ventilator asynchronies: may the respiratory mechanics play a role?

TL;DR: In non-invasively ventilated patients for a chronic respiratory failure, the incidence of patient-ventilator asynchronies was relatively high, but did not correlate with any parameters of respiratory mechanics or underlying disease.

Assisted ventilation modes reduce the expression of lung inflammatory and fibrogenic mediators in a model of mild acute lung injury

TL;DR: Among assisted ventilation modes, Bi-Vent + PSV demonstrated better functional results with less lung damage and expression of inflammatory mediators, and led to better functional improvement and less lung injury compared to PCV.

Comparison of Sleep Quality With Mechanical Versus Spontaneous Ventilation During Weaning of Critically Ill Tracheostomized Patients

TL;DR: In difficult-to-wean tracheostomized patients, sleep quality was similar with or without the ventilator, and sleep quantity was higher during mechanical ventilation.

Patient-ventilator synchrony in Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) and Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV): a prospective observational study

TL;DR: The total number of asynchronies in NAVA is lower than that in PSV, which reflects improved patient-ventilator interaction inNAVA compared with the PSV mode, which is consistent with previous studies.

Temporal Logic Based Monitoring of Assisted Ventilation in Intensive Care Patients

TL;DR: A novel approach to automatically detect ineffective breathing efforts in patients in intensive care subject to assisted ventilation is introduced, based on synthesising from data temporal logic formulae which are able to discriminate between normal and ineffective breaths.

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.

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.
