Assessment of V/Q mismatch during pressure support ventilation with electrical impedance tomography: a prospective physiological study [PDF]
Introduction Spontaneous breathing may have both protective and negative effects in patients with ARDS, according to the severity of lung injury. Scarce evidence is available for physicians to safely guide the transition from controlled to assisted ...

Continuous assessment of neuro-ventilatory drive during 12 h of pressure support ventilation in critically ill patients [PDF]
Introduction Pressure support ventilation (PSV) should allow spontaneous breathing with a “normal” neuro-ventilatory drive. Low neuro-ventilatory drive puts the patient at risk of diaphragmatic atrophy while high neuro-ventilatory drive may causes ...

Use of pressure muscle index to guide pressure support ventilation setting: a study protocol and statistical plan for a prospective randomised controlled proof-of-concept trial [PDF]
Introduction Although pressure support ventilation is one of the most commonly used assisted ventilation modes in intensive care units, there is still a lack of precise strategies for setting pressure support.

Use of pressure muscle index to predict the contribution of patient’s inspiratory effort during pressure support ventilation: a prospective physiological study [PDF]
BackgroundThe successful implementation of assisted ventilation depends on matching the patient’s effort with the ventilator support. Pressure muscle index (PMI), an airway pressure based measurement, has been used as noninvasive monitoring to assess the
