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 ...

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,

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 ...

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.

Starting HMV at home: a reasonable option for many patients?

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background and objective In the current study, we undertook a more detailed exploration of the reasons why patients undergoing HMV were screened out of a recently published study in order to better understand how applicable home initiation of HMV is ...

Exploring red cell distribution width as a biomarker for treatment efficacy in home mechanical ventilation

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background With the growing practice of home mechanical ventilation, there is a need to identify biological markers for adequate follow-up. Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a promising candidate because it is convenient, objective and may reflect ...
