... HABP/VABP criteria and exposed to invasive mechanical ventilation, 131 (92%) VABP and 11 (8%) ventilated HABP cases were identified. In the subset of high-risk patients developing VABP, the median duration of invasive mechanical ventilation at the time of VABP diagnosis (range) was 10 (6–15) days...

...); P=0.50] with significant increases in both EAdi and V_T and no difference in respiratory rhythm. Conclusions These results suggest that in patients after respiratory failure and prolonged mechanical ventilation, changes in V_T and NVE, between SBTs...

...Oxford University Press When a patient is intubated and placed on mechanical ventilation, the clinician must write a series of ventilator orders. It’s important to recognize though, that several other parameters are typically set by the respiratory therapist without direct physician input. The most...

... to the intensive care unit, the benefits and risks of noninvasive mechanical ventilation, and indications of intubation in acute neuromuscular disorders such as Guillain-Barré syndrome and myasthenia gravis. Patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome should be intubated electively when they develop their first signs...

...Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research Weaning from the mechanical ventilator after intubation following treatment for myasthenic crisis is difficult. There is a high probability of reintubation, especially in patients with bronchial hypersecretion and atelectasis. Long-term management...

...Oxford University Press Emergency physicians can be empowered by knowing the basics of how to safely ventilate patients with the mechanical ventilator. Learning how to initiate mechanical ventilation with appropriate settings is an important skill to learn, as inappropriate settings can increase...

...Mechanical Ventilation—Physiology and Practice provides a comprehensive review of the physiological principles underlying mechanical ventilation, as well as practical approaches to the management of patients with respiratory failure. The book explains instrumentation...

...Oxford University Press The chapter entitled examines the efficacy of pairing daily sedation awakening trials (SAT) with daily spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients on a mechanical ventilator. Three-hundred thirty-six ICU patients requiring mechanical ventilation...

...Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research The main goal of mechanical ventilation is to unload the respiratory muscles to facilitate oxygenation and ventilation. This is accomplished by providing a minute ventilation (VE) (respiratory rate × tidal volume [VT]) that will result in adequate...
