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

Combined effects of leaks, respiratory system properties and upper airway patency on the performance of home ventilators: a bench study.
Kaixian Zhu,Claudio Rabec,Jésus Gonzalez-Bermejo,Sébastien Hardy,Sami Aouf,Pierre Escourrou,Gabriel Roisman +6 more
TL;DR: Home ventilators were able to avoid PVA in high-level leak conditions, however, asynchrony appeared in cases of abnormal mechanical properties of respiratory system or closed UA, which should be adjusted prior to the inspiratory trigger.

TL;DR: This update first describes the neuropsychological alterations occurring both during the acute phase of ICU stay and at discharge, followed by an analysis of lung–brain interactions during mechanical ventilation, and finally explores the etiology and mechanisms leading to the neurological disorders observed in these patients.

Early Paralysis for the Management of ARDS
TL;DR: The rationale and evidence behind the use of NMBAs in the setting of ARDS are described and NMBA and deep sedation for these patients is not without consequence.

NAVA and PAV+ for lung and diaphragm protection.
TL;DR: Physiological rationale and clinical data suggest a potential role for proportional modes of assist in providing and monitoring lung and diaphragm protective ventilation.

Quantifying neonatal pulmonary mechanics in mechanical ventilation
TL;DR: A model-based method in a first in-depth attempt to quantify the underlying lung mechanics in NICU patients shows significant breath-to-breath variability in elastance within and between patients.

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.
Jean Louis Vincent,R. Moreno,Jukka Takala,Sheila Willatts,A. de Mendonça,Hajo A. Bruining,C. K. Reinhart,P. M. Suter,L. G. Thijs +8 more
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.
