Dyspnea in the Ventilated Patient: A Call for Patient-Centered Mechanical Ventilation

Respiratory Care, 2000
In recent years, most research on mechanical ventilation has focused on improving physiologic measures of cardiopulmonary function and increasing short-term survival. By comparison, remarkably little research has aimed at improving the subjective experience of patients undergoing mechanical ventilation.

MONITORING PATIENT MECHANICS DURING MECHANICAL VENTILATION

Critical Care Clinics, 1998
This article provides a review of respiratory mechanics that can be monitored in ventilator-dependent patients during passive and spontaneous breathing. Special focus is placed on resistance, compliance, and work of breathing. A description of methods and techniques, and a summary of clinical observations and applications in critically-ill patients are

Mobilization of Mechanically Ventilated Patients in Switzerland

Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 2017
Purpose: Growing evidence suggests that early mobilization benefits intensive care unit (ICU) patients. However, national practices and the culture of individual ICUs influence mobilization activities. Materials and Methods: In a 1-day,

A virtual patient model for mechanical ventilation

Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 2018
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a primary therapy for patients with acute respiratory failure. However, poorly selected ventilator settings can cause further lung damage due to heterogeneity of healthy and damaged alveoli. Varying positive-end-expiratory-pressure (PEEP) to a point of minimum elastance is a lung protective ventilator strategy.

Safety of Thoracentesis in Mechanically Ventilated Patients

Chest, 1993
As practicing intensivists, we frequently diagnose pleural effusions in mechanically ventilated patients and routinely perform thoracentesis even when the patient is on positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). In light of a recent report, we have reviewed our experience.

Tracheal Intubation in Mechanically Ventilated Patients

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1988
Airway management is an important skill in the care of patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. This article reviews the available techniques of tracheal cannulation and describes common complications, preferred routes of intubation, and approaches to weaning.

Intraoperative mechanical ventilation for the pediatric patient

Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2015
Invasive mechanical ventilation is required when children undergo general anesthesia for any procedure. It is remarkable that one of the most practiced interventions such as pediatric mechanical ventilation is hardly supported by any scientific evidence but rather based on personal experience and data from adults, especially as ventilation itself is ...

Bronchodilator Therapy in Mechanically Ventilated Patients

2002
Inhaled bronchodilators are a primary component of the treatment of airway obstruction [1, 2]. During acute respiratory failure due to airway obstruction (asthma attacks and exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD]) their dosage and frequency of administration are increased up to the maximum [3, 4].

Pulmonary Rehabilitation for Mechanically Ventilated Patients

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 1991
Pulmonary rehabilitation for the mechanically ventilated patient is a complex process requiring the teamwork of many disciplines. The physician, pulmonary CNS, respiratory therapist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, dietician, speech pathologist, social worker, and chaplain all work together in a coordinated effort.
