Numerical study of variable lung ventilation strategies [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Mechanical ventilation is used for patients with a variety of lung diseases. Traditionally, ventilators have been designed to monotonously deliver equal sized breaths. While it may seem intuitive that lungs may benefit from unvarying and stable ventilation pressure strategy, recently it has been reported that variable lung ventilation is advantageous ...

Complications of mechanical ventilation [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2011
Mechanical ventilation of the lungs, as an important therapeutic measure, cannot be avoided in critically ill patients. However, when machines take over some of vital functions there is always a risk of complications and accidents.

A Reinforcement Learning Approach to Weaning of Mechanical Ventilation in Intensive Care Units [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
The management of invasive mechanical ventilation, and the regulation of sedation and analgesia during ventilation, constitutes a major part of the care of patients admitted to intensive care units. Both prolonged dependence on mechanical ventilation and premature extubation are associated with increased risk of complications and higher hospital costs,

Mechanical ventilation settings during weaning from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [PDF]

Annals of Intensive Care
Background The optimal timing of weaning from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) and its modalities have been rarely studied.

Improving Mechanical Ventilator Clinical Decision Support Systems with A Machine Learning Classifier for Determining Ventilator Mode [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) will play an in-creasing role in improving the quality of medical care for critically ill patients. However, due to limitations in current informatics infrastructure, CDSS do not always have com-plete information on state of supporting physiologic monitor-ing devices, which can limit the input data available to ...

Body Mass Index and Risk for COVID-19–Related Hospitalization, Intensive Care Unit Admission, Invasive Mechanical Ventilation, and Death — United States, March–December 2020

MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report, 2021
Obesity* is a recognized risk factor for severe COVID-19 (1,2), possibly related to chronic inflammation that disrupts immune and thrombogenic responses to pathogens (3) as well as to impaired lung function from excess weight (4).

The role of telemonitoring in patients on home mechanical ventilation

European Respiratory Review, 2023
There is a growing number of patients being treated with long-term home mechanical ventilation (HMV). This poses a challenge for the healthcare system because in-hospital resources are decreasing.
