Bilateral phrenic nerve block as an effective means of controlling inspiratory efforts in a COVID-19 patient

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2021
Bilateral continuous phrenic nerve block effectively regulates refractory persistent, strong inspiratory effort in a patient with coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Model-Based Estimation of Inspiratory Effort Using Surface EMG

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2022
Objective: The quantification of inspiratory patient effort in assisted mechanical ventilation is essential for the adjustment of ventilatory assistance and for assessing patient-ventilator interaction.

Inspiratory Effort and Lung Mechanics in Spontaneously Breathing Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure due to COVID-19: A Matched Control Study. [PDF]

Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 2021
A great debate has started as to whether acute respiratory failure (ARF) induced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (coronavirus disease [COVID-19]) should be classified as a classic form of acute respiratory ...

The impact of inspiratory effort on inspiratory flow through Turbuhaler in asthmatic patients [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 1997
To investigate the impact of the inhalation effort on the peak inspiratory flow through Turbuhaler, 100 asthmatics having a wide range of asthma severity (baseline forced expiratory volume in one second 28-127% of predicted normal) were studied.

Positive end-expiratory pressure limits inspiratory effort through modulation of the effort-to-drive ratio: an experimental crossover study. [PDF]

Intensive Care Med Exp
How assisted spontaneous breathing should be used during acute respiratory distress syndrome is questioned. Recent evidence suggests that high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may limit the risk of patient self-inflicted lung injury (P-SILI).

Central venous pressure swing outperforms diaphragm ultrasound as a measure of inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation in COVID-19 patients. [PDF]

J Clin Monit Comput, 2022
Purpose The COVID-19-related shortage of ICU beds magnified the need of tools to properly titrate the ventilator assistance. We investigated whether bedside-available indices such as the ultrasonographic changes in diaphragm thickening ratio (TR) and the

Comparison of inspiratory effort with three variable-flow nasal continuous positive airway pressure devices in preterm infants: a cross-over study. [PDF]

Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed, 2021
Objective Patient’s work of breathing may vary between different neonatal nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) devices. Therefore, we aimed to compare the inspiratory effort of three variable-flow NCPAP delivery systems used in preterm ...

Spontaneous Inspiratory Effort During Lung-Protective Ventilation [PDF]

Respiratory Care, 2019
The reduction of tidal volume during controlled mechanical ventilation of patients with ARDS has proven to be one of the few specific interventions in critical care that can save lives.[1][1] Indeed, there is some evidence that lung-protective ...

Nurses' Detection of Ineffective Inspiratory Efforts During Mechanical Ventilation [PDF]

American Journal of Critical Care, 2012
BACKGROUND PATIENT: ventilator dyssynchrony is common and may influence patients' outcomes. Detection of such dyssynchronies relies on careful observation of patients and airway flow and pressure measurements. Given the shortage of specialists, critical care nurses could be trained to identify dyssynchronies.To evaluate the accuracy of specifically ...

Maximal inspiratory pressure: does reproducibility indicate full effort? [PDF]

Thorax, 1995
Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) is often relied upon as an index of inspiratory muscle strength, and reproducibility of MIP taken to indicate maximal effort. This study was designed to determine whether reproducibility is a valid indicator of maximal effort.Ten normal subjects were studied, all of whom were familiar with the MIP test but none was an
