Predictors of mortality in mechanically ventilated patients.
OBJECTIVES There are scarce data from India validating scoring systems used to predict outcome in patients requiring mechanical ventilation. This study prospectively compared the organ system failure (OSF), the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II, and the APACHE III, scores on patients requiring mechanical ventilation in the medical intensive care unit, to predict outcome...
متن کاملTrend of Maximal Inspiratory Pressure in Mechanically Ventilated Patients: Predictors
INTRODUCTION It is known that mechanical ventilation and many of its features may affect the evolution of inspiratory muscle strength during ventilation. However, this evolution has not been described, nor have its predictors been studied. In addition, a probable parallel between inspiratory and limb muscle strength evolution has not been investigated. OBJECTIVE To describe the variation over...
متن کاملBronchoscopy in Mechanically Ventilated Patients
The origins of bronchoscopy date back to 1897 when Gustav Killian, considered “the father of bronchoscopy”, performed the first airway examination with a rigid esophagoscope to a farmer extracting a piece of bone that had lodged in the main stem bronchus. Shigeto Ikeda in 1964 revolutionized the field of bronchoscopy with the introduction of a flexible instrument that could be introduced to sub...
متن کاملPredictors of Mortality in Mechanically Ventilated Critical Pertussis in a low Income Country
BACKGROUND Critical pertussis is characterized by severe respiratory failure, important leukocytosis, pulmonary hypertension, septic shock and encephalopathy. AIM To describe the clinical course of critical pertussis, and identify predictors of death at the time of presentation for medical care. METHODOLOGY Retrospective study conducted in children's hospital Tunisian PICU between 01 Januar...
متن کاملControl of breathing in mechanically ventilated patients.
During mechanical ventilation, the respiratory system is under the influence of two pumps, the ventilator pump and the patient's own respiratory muscles. Depending on the mode of mechanical ventilatory support, ventilation may be totally controlled by the ventilator or may be determined by the interaction between patient respiratory effort and ventilator function. In either case, compared to sp...
