Respiratory mechanics in mechanically ventilated patients.
Respiratory mechanics refers to the expression of lung function through measures of pressure and flow. From these measurements, a variety of derived indices can be determined, such as volume, compliance, resistance, and work of breathing. Plateau pressure is a measure of end-inspiratory distending pressure. It has become increasingly appreciated that end-inspiratory transpulmonary pressure (str...
متن کاملProteoglycan fragmentation and respiratory mechanics in mechanically ventilated healthy rats.
This research investigated whether stretching of lung tissue due to increased positive alveolar pressure swings during mechanical ventilation (MV) at various tidal volumes (V(T)) might affect the composition and/or structure of the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) components of pulmonary extracellular proteoglycans. Experiments were performed in 30 healthy rats: 1) anesthetized and immediately killed (c...
متن کاملChanges in respiratory mechanics during respiratory physiotherapy in mechanically ventilated patients
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the changes in ventilatory mechanics and hemodynamics that occur in patients dependent on mechanical ventilation who are subjected to a standard respiratory therapy protocol. METHODS This experimental and prospective study was performed in two intensive care units, in which patients dependent on mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours were consecutively enrolled an...
متن کاملTo: Changes in respiratory mechanics during respiratory physiotherapy in mechanically ventilated patients
We were very interested in the study by Moreira et al.(1) as it reflects common and routine respiratory physiotherapy practices in intensive care units in Brazil and other countries. We appreciate the author’s effort in examining the evidence for this type of therapy. In this study, an improvement was observed in the ventilatory mechanics parameters after the application of a respiratory physio...
متن کاملInfluence of different degrees of head elevation on respiratory mechanics in mechanically ventilated patients
OBJECTIVE The positioning of a patient in bed may directly affect their respiratory mechanics. The objective of this study was to evaluate the respiratory mechanics of mechanically ventilated patients positioned with different head angles hospitalized in an intensive care unit. METHODS This was a prospective physiological study in which static and dynamic compliance, resistive airway pressure...
