From:Chest (Vol. 104, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedStudy objective: We wish to determine if magnesium infusion would improve respiratory muscle function in long-term ventilated patients even in the absence of hypomagnesemia. Design: Prospective study of mechanically...
-
From:Chest (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedWeaning techniques include spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs), pressure-support ventilation (PSV), and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV). SBTs can be conducted using one of several approaches,...

From:The Journal of Critical Illness (Vol. 18, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedABSTRACT: Discontinuation of mechanical ventilation is difficult in a substantial number of patients. Such cases account for a disproportionate amount of health care costs and pose enormous clinical, economic, and...
-
From:Respiratory Research (Vol. 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground Prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation has a major impact on ICU bed occupancy and patient outcome, and has significant cost implications. There is evidence in patients around the period of...

From:Critical Care (Vol. 27, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction The speckle tracking ultrasound is an innovative technology enabling distinct assessment of diaphragmatic movement, yet the relative data are scarce. In this pilot study, we sought to evaluate the...

From:Chest (Vol. 98, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedAirway occlusion pressure correlates with central respiratory drive. The airway occlusion pressure (PO.1) may be an excellent predictor of the ability of patients with obstructive lung disease to wean from mechanical...
-
From:Chest (Vol. 100, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedWeaning of patients from mechanical ventilation is a time-consuming, labor-intensive process. Because most weaning decisions are based on objective data, we tested a computer-directed weaning system on postoperative...
-
From:Chest (Vol. 102, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedDetermining the optimal time to discontinue mechanical ventilation can be difficult, Although an experienced physician may have an intuition as to the likely outcome of a weaning trial, it would be helpful if predictive...
-
From:Chest (Vol. 101, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe redefinition of well-described terminology frequently occurs as more information is gathered. Sepsis has been recently discussed in a new light,[1] as have breathing machines (ventilators/respirators).[2] We would,...
-
From:Chest (Vol. 107, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedNasal intermittent Positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) applied during sleep has been demonstrated to be useful in the treatment of restrictive thoracic diseases (RTD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the...
-
From:Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine (Vol. 22, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedByline: Abhinav. Banerjee, Gesu. Mehrotra Background and Aims: The diaphragm is considered the main respiratory muscle and difficulty in weaning can occur because of impaired diaphragmatic function. Hence, monitoring...

From:The Egyptian Journal of Chest Diseases and Tuberculosis (Vol. 69, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedByline: Samiha. Ashmawi, Hala. Salem, Muhammad. Nagy Background In the process of weaning from mechanical ventilation, tolerance to the pre-extubation attempts of spontaneous breathing does not completely ensure a...
-
From:Neonatology (Vol. 110, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) therapy has been widely used in preterm infants. However, evidence to support its use as a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) weaning method is...
-
From:Annals of Thoracic Medicine (Vol. 2, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedByline: Arindam. Dey, Indira. Bairy Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is an important intensive care unit (ICU) infection in mechanically ventilated patients. VAP occurs approximately in 9-27% of all...
-
From:Chest (Vol. 122, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground and purpose: We instituted a low-repetition, high-intensity inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) program and progressively longer spontaneous breathing periods (SBPs) in a group of medically complex...
