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: types, outcomes and nursing detection skills.

TL;DR: In this paper, a literature review performed on Cochrane Library, Medline and CINAHL databases was performed to identify ventilator asynchrony (PVA), their typologies and classifications, and to investigate the levels of nursing skill in detecting PVAs.

Monitoring Asynchrony During Invasive Mechanical Ventilation

TL;DR: This work states that appropriate handling of asynchrony requires clinical skills, physiological knowledge, and suitable medication management, and that smart alarms and artificial intelligence algorithms based on physiological big data and personalized medicine are changing daily practice.

Effect of an automatic triggering and cycling system on comfort and patient-ventilator synchrony during pressure support ventilation.

TL;DR: Use of the Auto-Trak system during PSV showed similar results in comparison to the conventional adjustments with respect to patient-ventilator synchrony and discomfort in simulated conditions of invasive mechanical ventilation.

Can proportional ventilation modes facilitate exercise in critically ill patients? A physiological cross-over study

TL;DR: Proportional ventilation during exercise results in higher work efficiency and less increase in VO2 compared to ventilation with PSV, and preliminary findings suggest that proportional ventilation could enhance the training effect and facilitate rehabilitation.

Effect of pressure support on end-expiratory lung volume and lung diffusion for carbon monoxide.

TL;DR: A 5-cm H2O increase in pressure-support ventilation neither affected end-expiratory lung volume nor increased the pulmonary volume participating in gas exchange, but a target tidal volume closer to 6 mL/kg of predicted body weight than to 8mL/kg during pressure- support ventilation was associated with better 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.

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.
