Serum cholinesterase as a new nutritional indicator for predicting weaning failure in patients

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
AimThe objective of this study is to examine the correlation between patient serum cholinesterase (SCHE) concentration and weaning failure in the context of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), as well as to identify predictors of ventilator weaning ...

Selfish Pups: Weaning Conflict and Milk Theft in Free-Ranging Dogs [PDF]

PLoS One. 2017 Feb 8;12(2):e0170590, 2016
Parent-offspring conflict theory predicts the emergence of weaning conflict between a mother and her offspring arising from skewed relatedness benefits. Empirical observations of weaning conflict has not been carried out in canids. In a field-based study on free-ranging dogs we observed that suckling bout durations reduce, proportion of mother ...

study): a protocol of a multicentre, pilot randomized controlled trial

Trials, 2009
Background Weaning is the process during which mechanical ventilation is withdrawn and the work of breathing is transferred from the ventilator back to the patient.

The Role of Explainability in Assuring Safety of Machine Learning in Healthcare [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Established approaches to assuring safety-critical systems and software are difficult to apply to systems employing ML where there is no clear, pre-defined specification against which to assess validity. This problem is exacerbated by the "opaque" nature of ML where the learnt model is not amenable to human scrutiny.

Proportional assist ventilation versus pressure support ventilation in the weaning of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2014
Background: Patients with COPD are frequently hospitalized for acute exacerbations (AECOPD), which may cause respiratory failure and death. Proportional assist ventilation (PAV) is a relatively new mode of ventilator-based, inspiratory support designed ...

The effect of local ventilation on airborne viral transmission in indoor spaces [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We incorporate local ventilation effects into a spatially dependent generalisation of the Wells--Riley model of airborne viral transmission. Aerosol production and removal through ventilation (global and local), biological deactivation, and gravitational settling as well as transport around a recirculating air-conditioning flow and turbulent mixing are

Increasing ventilation reduces SARS-CoV-2 airborne transmission in schools: a retrospective cohort study in Italy's Marche region [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Background: While increasing the ventilation rate is an important measure to remove inhalable virus-laden respiratory particles and lower the risk of infection, direct validation in schools with population-based studies is far from definitive. Methods: We investigated the strength of association between ventilation and SARS-CoV-2 transmission ...

Abdominal Functional Electrical Stimulation to Assist Ventilator Weaning in Acute Tetraplegia: A Cohort Study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Severe impairment of the major respiratory muscles resulting from tetraplegia reduces respiratory function, causing many people with tetraplegia to require mechanical ventilation during the acute stage of injury.

Ventilator Weaning and Spontaneous Breathing Trials; an Educational Review

Archives of Academic Emergency Medicine, 2018
The term "weaning" is used to describe the gradual process of decreasing ventilator support. It is estimated that 40% of the duration of mechanical ventilation is dedicated to the process of weaning. Spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) assesses the patient'

Predicting Delayed Ventilator Weaning after Lung Transplantation: The Role of Body Mass Index [PDF]

Korean Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2014
BACKGROUND: Weaning from mechanical ventilation is difficult in the intensive care unit (ICU). Many controversial questions remain unanswered concerning the predictors of weaning failure.
