Dissipated energy during protective mechanical ventilation

چکیده
Introduction From literature we know that a cornerstone of the protective lung ventilation in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) patients [1] and during general anesthesia [2] is a low tidal volume. On the other hand, driving pressure seems to be the variable that best stratifies mortality risk [3]. Our hypothesis is that the combination of volume and pressure, that is the energy dissipated into respiratory system, is the main determinant of a ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI).

The dissipated energy from periodic deformation is regarded as the main reason for heat generation and temperature rise inside the tire domain. However, the mechanical behavior of rubber parts is highly temperature dependent. In most performed investigations, the influence of thermal effects on stress/ deformation fields of pneumatic tires is ignored and just temperature distribution is conside...

BACKGROUND Post-operative pulmonary complications add to the morbidity and mortality of surgical patients, in particular after general anesthesia >2 hours for abdominal surgery. Whether a protective mechanical ventilation strategy with higher levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and repeated recruitment maneuvers; the "open lung strategy", protects against post-operative pulmonary ...
متن کاملHeliox Improves Carbon Dioxide Removal during Lung Protective Mechanical Ventilation
Introduction. Helium is a noble gas with low density and increased carbon dioxide (CO2) diffusion capacity. This allows lower driving pressures in mechanical ventilation and increased CO2 diffusion. We hypothesized that heliox facilitates ventilation in patients during lung-protective mechanical ventilation using low tidal volumes. Methods. This is an observational cohort substudy of a single a...
