Effect of pediatric ventilation weaning technique on work of breathing [PDF]
Respiratory Research, 2022 Background Ventilator liberation is one of the most challenging aspects in patients with respiratory failure. Most patients are weaned through a transition from full to partial respiratory support, whereas some advocate using a continuous spontaneous ...

Increased work of breathing and its relationship to dyspnea in malignant pleural effusion [PDF]
Frontiers in PhysiologyObjectivesAlthough dyspnea is the most common symptom of pleural effusion (PE), its physiological basis has not yet been fully elucidated. The aim of this work is to investigate the cause of dyspnea before therapeutic thoracentesis (TT) by analyzing the ...

Back to basics with newer technology: Should we focus on reducing work of breathing earlier? [PDF]
Frontiers in Medicine, 2022 The typical approach to management of respiratory distress is focused on oxygen supplementation. However, additional oxygen alone does not improve outcomes, particularly in critically ill patients.

Additional work of breathing from trigger errors in mechanically ventilated children [PDF]
Respiratory Research, 2020 Background Patient–ventilator asynchrony is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. A direct causative relationship between Patient–ventilator asynchrony and adverse clinical outcome have yet to be demonstrated.

Work of Breathing: Physiology, Measurement, and Diagnostic Value in Childhood Pneumonia [PDF]
ChildrenIn clinical practice, increased “work of breathing” (WOB) is used to rapidly identify the acutely ill child in need of immediate clinical care, and is commonly used to support a clinical diagnosis of pneumonia.

Work of Breathing for Aviators: A Missing Link in Human Performance [PDF]
LifeIn this study, we explore the work of breathing (WoB) experienced by aviators during the Anti-G Straining Maneuver (AGSM) to improve pilot safety and performance. Traditional airflow models of WoB fail to adequately distinguish between breathing rate and

Differences of ventilatory muscle recruitment and work of breathing in COPD and interstitial lung disease during exercise: a comprehensive evaluation [PDF]
ERJ Open ResearchIntroduction COPD and interstitial lung disease (ILD) are significant chronic respiratory disorders, impacting quality of life. Respiratory muscle roles and differences remain not entirely clear.

The effects of pressure- versus volume-controlled ventilation on ventilator work of breathing [PDF]
BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2020 Background Measurement of work of breathing (WOB) during mechanical ventilation is essential to assess the status and progress of intensive care patients. Increasing ventilator WOB is known as a risk factor for ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI).

Diagnostic differences in respiratory breathing patterns and work of breathing indices in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 RationalePulmonary function testing (PFT) provides diagnostic information regarding respiratory physiology. However, many forms of PFT are time-intensive and require patient cooperation.
