[Prolonged mechanical ventilation probability model].
OBJECTIVE To design a probability model for prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) using variables obtained during the first 24 hours of the start of MV. DESIGN An observational, prospective, multicenter cohort study. SCOPE Thirteen Spanish medical-surgical intensive care units. PATIENTS Adult patients requiring mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours. INTERVENTIONS None. STUDY ...
متن کاملDiaphragmatic contraction during assisted mechanical ventilation.
Indirect evidence from airway pressure recordings in mechanically ventilated patients suggests that the diaphragm exhibits contractile activity beyond that required to trigger a ventilator-assisted breath. We used the diaphragmatic EMG to provide direct evidence of persistent contractile activity and studied the effects of alterations in ventilator-delivered flow rate and tidal volume on the du...
متن کاملDiaphragmatic strength during weaning from mechanical ventilation.
Respiratory muscle weakness is considered to be a factor in the inability to wean from mechanical ventilation. To assess this possibility, the present study examined the mechanical behavior of the diaphragm by measuring the change in transdiaphragmatic pressure (delta Pdi) during weaning. Nine "T-piece" weanings were carried out in seven patients with prior weaning failure and were terminated w...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea and prolonged mechanical ventilation.
Patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation have a high one year mortality, with recognized contributing factors including COPD, cardiac failure, renal failure, and respiratory muscle weakness.1 The study by Diaz-Abad et al2 shows that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is very common among selected obese patients who have weaned from prolonged mechanical ventilation. The study raises as many que...
متن کاملBilateral Scapulohumeral Ankylosis after Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation
This case demonstrates a rarely reported bilateral scapulohumeral bony ankylosis. A young woman developed extensive heterotopic ossifications (HOs) in both shoulder joints after being mechanically ventilated for several months at the intensive care unit in a comatose status. She presented with a severe movement restriction of both shoulder joints. Surgical resection of the bony bridges was perf...
