Hypercapnia attenuates ventilator-induced diaphragm atrophy and modulates dysfunction [PDF]
Abstract Introduction Diaphragm weakness induced by prolonged mechanical ventilation may contribute to difficult weaning from the ventilator. Hypercapnia is an accepted side effect of low tidal volume mechanical ventilation, but the effects of hypercapnia on respiratory muscle function are largely unknown.

Background Prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) induces diaphragm dysfunction in patients in the intensive care units (ICUs). Our study aimed to explore the therapeutic efficacy of early rehabilitation therapy in patients with prolonged MV in the ICU ...

Objective: Prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) after extensive aortic reconstructive surgery is common. Studies have demonstrated that diaphragm pacing (DP) improves lung function in patients with unilateral diaphragm paralysis.

Recovery of diaphragm function following mechanical ventilation in a rodent model. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Mechanical ventilation (MV) induces diaphragmatic muscle fiber atrophy and contractile dysfunction (ventilator induced diaphragmatic dysfunction, VIDD).

Diaphragm muscle weakness in an experimental porcine intensive care unit model.
In critically ill patients, mechanisms underlying diaphragm muscle remodeling and resultant dysfunction contributing to weaning failure remain unclear. Ventilator-induced modifications as well as sepsis and administration of pharmacological agents such ...

Lung-protective ventilation worsens ventilator-induced diaphragm atrophy and weakness
Background Lung–protective ventilation (LPV) has been found to minimize the risk of ventilator–induced lung injury (VILI). However, whether LPV is able to diminish ventilator–induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD) remains unknown.

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is often a life-saving intervention for patients in respiratory failure. Unfortunately, a common and undesired consequence of prolonged MV is the development of diaphragmatic atrophy and contractile dysfunction.

N‐acetylcysteine attenuates ventilator‐induced diaphragm dysfunction in rats [PDF]
Controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) results in diaphragmatic dysfunction and oxidative stress. We examined whether an anti‐oxidant, N‐acetylcysteine (NAC), would restore the redox‐balance in the diaphragm and prevent the deleterious effects of CMV.

Background: Accumulating evidence indicates that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress plays a critical role in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass. In recent years, much attention has been given to ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD) because ...
