Determinants of inspiratory muscle strength in healthy humans [PDF]
, 2014 We investigated 1) the relationship between the baseline and inspiratory muscle training (IMT) induced increase in maximal inspiratory pressure (PI,max) and 2) the relative contributions of the inspiratory chest wall muscles and the diaphragm (Poes/Pdi ...

Mechanical correlates of dyspnea in bronchial asthma. [PDF]
, 2013 We hypothesized that dyspnea and its descriptors, that is, chest tightness, inspiratory effort, unrewarded inspiration, and expiratory difficulty in asthma reflect different mechanisms of airflow obstruction and their perception varies with the severity ...

Model-Based Estimation of Inspiratory Effort Using Surface EMG
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2023 The quantification of inspiratory patient effort in assisted mechanical ventilation is essential for the adjustment of ventilatory assistance and for assessing patient-ventilator interaction. The inspiratory effort is usually measured via the respiratory muscle pressure (P mus) derived from esophageal pressure (P es) measurements.

Identifying asynchronies: Ineffective effort
Journal of Mechanical Ventilation, 2022 Mechanical ventilation is a common issue in critically ill patients. It is a lifesaving treatment but also can cause some complications. Patient-ventilator asynchronies are frequent but are often underdiagnosed and they are a serious problem that is ...

Physiopathological rationale of using high-flow nasal therapy in the acute and chronic setting: A narrative review [PDF]
, 2019 Chronic lung disease and admissions due to acute respiratory failure (ARF) are becoming increasingly common. Consequently, there is a growing focus on optimizing respiratory support, particularly non-invasive respiratory support, to manage these ...

Cells, 2021 The underlying cause of respiratory impairments appearing in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is still far from being elucidated. To better understand the pathogenesis of respiratory disorders appearing in PD, we studied hypoglossal (HG) and phrenic (PHR ...

Flow-volume curve analysis for predicting recurrence after endoscopic dilation of airway stenosis [PDF]
, 2019 The flow-volume curve is a simple test for diagnosing upper airway obstruction. We evaluated its use to predict recurrence in patients undergoing endoscopic dilation for treatment of benign upper airway ...

Annals of Intensive Care, 2023 Background Internal redistribution of gas, referred to as pendelluft, is a new potential mechanism of effort-dependent lung injury. Neurally-adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) and proportional assist ventilation (PAV +) follow the patient’s respiratory ...

Indications and practical approach to non-invasive ventilation in acute heart failure [PDF]
, 2017 In acute heart failure (AHF) syndromes significant respiratory failure (RF) is essentially seen in patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (ACPE) or cardiogenic shock (CS).

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 ...
