Respiratory center activity during mechanical ventilation

TLDR
The activity of the respiratory neurones is related to that of other parts of the brain stem and with sleep, anesthesia, sedative drugs, and appropriate hypnotic suggestion, there is a diminution in the level of central excitation; this causes a reduction in respiration.About:

Clinical Characteristics, Respiratory Functional Parameters, and Outcome of a Two-Hour T-Piece Trial in Patients Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation
TL;DR: In this group of patients, the ability to cough and clear respiratory secretions, objectively reflected by MEP, may help in clinical decision-making.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of occlusion pressure during assisted ventilation in patients with intrinsic PEEP.
TL;DR: It is suggested that reliable measurements of inspiratory drive can be obtained easily, on a breath-by-breath basis, from airway pressure tracings during pressure-support ventilation in patients with variable levels of PEEPi.

Pulmonary contusions and critical care management in thoracic trauma.

TL;DR: Many victims of thoracic trauma require ICU care and mechanical ventilatory support, and pressure and volume-limited modes assist in the prevention of ventilator-associated lung injury.
Respiratory mechanics in the intensive care unit
TL;DR: The purpose of this chapter is to review briefly the most common methods and techniques for measuring and monitoring respiratory mechanics at the bedside of the patient in the ICU.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equipment review: Measurement of occlusion pressures in critically ill patients
TL;DR: The technical aspects relating to the acquisition of occlusion pressures are analyzed, taking into account the possible bias represented by specific physiopathologic situations and to define some future uses of P0.1 during weaning procedures.

TL;DR: This is the first volume of the proposed many-sectioned "Handbook" in which the American Physiological Society intends to present comprehensively the entire field of physiology.

A simple method for assessing the validity of the esophageal balloon technique.
TL;DR: It is concluded that by positioning the balloon according to the "occlusion test" procedure, valid measurements of pleural pressure can be obtained in all the tested body positions.

Applied respiratory physiology

TL;DR: IPPV is used to increase the functional residual capacity (FRC), reduce airways resistance (wider calliber airways at higher FRC) and prevent or reverse lung collapse and PEEP is no longer used as a modality.

Occlusion pressure as a measure of respiratory center output in conscious man.
TL;DR: It is concluded that measurements of P0.1 represent a useful index of the output of the respiratory centers, independent of mechanisms that alter the respiratory pattern by affecting inspiratory duration, in particular the vagal volume-related inspiratory-inhibitory reflex.
