Assessment of Inspiratory Effort in Spontaneously Breathing COVID-19 ARDS Patients Undergoing Helmet CPAP: A Comparison between Esophageal, Transdiaphragmatic and Central Venous Pressure Swing [PDF]
Diagnostics, 2023 Introduction: The clinical features of COVID-19 are highly variable. It has been speculated that the progression across COVID-19 may be triggered by excessive inspiratory drive activation.

Flow Index accurately identifies breaths with low or high inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation [PDF]
Critical Care, 2021 Background Flow Index, a numerical expression of the shape of the inspiratory flow-time waveform recorded during pressure support ventilation, is associated with patient inspiratory effort.

Flow Index: a novel, non-invasive, continuous, quantitative method to evaluate patient inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation [PDF]
Critical Care, 2021 Background The evaluation of patient effort is pivotal during pressure support ventilation, but a non-invasive, continuous, quantitative method to assess patient inspiratory effort is still lacking.

Use of pressure muscle index to predict the contribution of patient’s inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation: a prospective physiological study [PDF]
Frontiers in MedicineBackgroundThe successful implementation of assisted ventilation depends on matching the patient’s effort with the ventilator support. Pressure muscle index (PMI), an airway pressure based measurement, has been used as noninvasive monitoring to assess the

Validation of the flow index to detect low inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation [PDF]
Annals of Intensive Care, 2022 Background Bedside assessment of low levels of inspiratory effort, which are probably insufficient to prevent muscle atrophy, is challenging. The flow index, which is derived from the analysis of the inspiratory portion of the flow–time waveform, has ...

Use of airway pressure-based indices to detect high and low inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation: a diagnostic accuracy study [PDF]
Annals of Intensive Care, 2023 Background Assessment of the patient’s respiratory effort is essential during assisted ventilation. We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of airway pressure (P aw)-based indices to detect potential injurious inspiratory effort during pressure support (PS ...

Breath-by-breath P0.1 measured on quasi-occlusion via Hamilton C6 may result in underestimation of respiratory drive and inspiratory effort [PDF]
Critical Care, 2022 We aimed to identify the threshold for P0.1 in a breath-by-breath manner measured by the Hamilton C6 on quasi-occlusion for high respiratory drive and inspiratory effort.

Nasal pressure swings as the measure of inspiratory effort in spontaneously breathing patients with de novo acute respiratory failure [PDF]
Critical Care, 2022 Background Excessive inspiratory effort could translate into self-inflicted lung injury, thus worsening clinical outcomes of spontaneously breathing patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF).

Assessing agreement among non-invasive indicators for inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation [PDF]
Frontiers in MedicineBackgroundDuring pressure support ventilation (PSV), the accuracy of non-invasive indicators in diagnosing high or low inspiratory effort has been validated. However, the correlation and agreement of these indicators remain unclear.
