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 ...

Visual Patterns of Diaphragmatic Motion in Acute Respiratory Failure: A Prospective Pilot Study

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 421-428, March/April 2025.
In this prospective bicentric study, we studied the relationship between the appearance of diaphragmatic motion and the etiological diagnosis of patients admitted to the emergency department with ARF. We observed a different visual pattern in patients with pneumonia. This is an interesting result as it allows the diagnosis of pneumonia without the need

Diaphragm Ultrasonography Reveals Progressive Changes in Diaphragmatic Function, Morphology, and Muscle Trophism During Invasive Mechanical Ventilation in Children

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Diaphragm ultrasonography detected progressive structural and functional deterioration in mechanically ventilated children. Prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation and neuromuscular blocking agent use were associated with ventilator‐induced diaphragmatic dysfunction, highlighting ultrasound as a valuable bedside tool to support individualized ...

Development and prospective validation of a model for predicting weaning in chronic ventilator dependent patients

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2003
Background Approximately ten percent of patients placed on mechanical ventilation during acute illness will require long-term ventilator support. Unfortunately, despite rehabilitation, some will never be liberated from the ventilator.

Factors associated with discharge on higher respiratory support for children with tracheostomy hospitalized with bacterial tracheostomy‐associated infections: A prospective, multicenter cohort study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract We conducted a multicenter prospective cohort study to identify factors associated with discharge on higher respiratory support in children with tracheostomy hospitalized for bacterial tracheostomy‐associated infections (bTRAINs). We included children 0–21 years with tracheostomy hospitalized for bTRAIN at six freestanding children's hospitals

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'

MEK Inhibitor Associated Airway Injury in an Infant With Noonan Syndrome: A Case Report

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
An infant with Noonan syndrome treated with trametinib developed extensive mucosal sloughing of the upper and lower airway, followed by severe supraglottic scarring. Clinicians should consider airway toxicity as a potential adverse effect of MEK inhibitor therapy.

Effects of Intubation Duration on Trachea: A Histopathological Study

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the histopathological effects of prolonged endotracheal intubation on the human trachea using biopsy specimens obtained during tracheotomy. Prolonged intubation was associated with progressive inflammatory and structural changes, with tracheal dilatation and perichondritis increasing significantly after 14 days.
