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]
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: a novel, non-invasive, continuous, quantitative method to evaluate patient inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation [PDF]
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.

Assessing agreement among non-invasive indicators for inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation [PDF]
BackgroundDuring 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.

Effect of inspiratory synchronization during pressure-controlled ventilation on lung distension and inspiratory effort [PDF]
Background In pressure-controlled (PC) ventilation, tidal volume (V T) and transpulmonary pressure (P L ) result from the addition of ventilator pressure and the patient’s inspiratory effort.

A cluster randomized trial on inspiratory effort-targeted pressure support adjustment strategy in patients undergoing assisted mechanical ventilation: protocol for the IT-PSV study [PDF]
BackgroundPressure support ventilation (PSV) is one of the most frequently used ventilator modes in the intensive care unit (ICU). The successful implementation of PSV depends on matching the patient’s inspiratory effort with the ventilator support.

Effects of cipepofol on breathing patterns, respiratory drive, and inspiratory effort in mechanically ventilated patients [PDF]
BackgroundCipepofol is a highly selective gamma-aminobutyric acid A receptor potentiator. As a new sedative drug, detailed studies on its respiratory effects are further needed.

Use of pressure muscle index to predict the contribution of patient’s inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation: a prospective physiological study [PDF]
BackgroundThe 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]
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 ...
