Work of breathing

Intensive Care Medicine, 2006
The main goal of mechanical ventilation is to help restore gas exchange and reduce the work of breathing (WOB) by assisting respiratory muscle activity. Knowing the determinants of WOB is essential for the effective use of mechanical ventilation and also to assess patient readiness for weaning.

Work of Breathing After Extubation

Chest, 1995
Recently we showed that work of breathing was higher in the immediate period after extubation as compared with spontaneous breathing through an endotracheal tube. In this study, we evaluated the glottis and trachea as potential sites of increased airway resistance after extubation.

Work of breathing during successful spontaneous breathing trial

Journal of Critical Care, 2009
The aim of this study was to evaluate the work of breathing (WOB) behavior during a 120-minute successful spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) with T-tube trial, and its predictive value for extubation outcome.A prospective cohort study.2 medical-surgical intensive care units.Fifty-one consecutive patients mechanically ventilated for more than 48 hours ...

Work of breathing in exercising ponies

Research in Veterinary Science, 1989
This paper attempts to evaluate the changes in the mechanical work of breathing induced by the increase of ventilation in ponies exercising on a treadmill. Airflow, tidal volume (VT) and oesophageal pressure were simultaneously recorded in eight ponies (four to six years old and weighing 258 +/- 11 kg) before, during and after standardised exercise ...

Work of breathing

1999
Breathing is a form of muscular exercise. The work of breathing may be assessed by two different, but complementary, approaches: a) by measuring the mechanical work done by the respiratory muscles (or by a ventilator substituting for them); b) by estimating the total energy cost of breathing by measurement of the oxygen consumption of the respiratory ...

Bedside measurement of work of breathing

International journal of clinical monitoring and computing, 1993
This paper describes the technique of measuring work of breathing, presented at the 13th International Symposium on Computers in Clinical Medicine and Anaesthesiology, Rotterdam, June 1992. Measuring work of breathing has clinical uses in the Intensive Care Unit. Oxygen consumption does not truly reflect work of breathing.

Work of breathing

Critical Care Medicine, 1990
During the course of a critical illness, many patients become ventilator dependent. The standard assessment criteria are not always accurate in predicting potential for extubation. This investigation was designed to analyze whether the work of breathing (WOB) was a more reliable predictor of ventilator dependence.

Work of Breathing

Abstract Work of breathing is defined as the energy spent to move air in and out of the lung during inspiration and expiration, respectively. It comprises the elastic work and the resistive work; their relationship can be demonstrated through the Campbell diagram.
