A sigmoidal fit for pressure-volume curves of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients on mechanical ventilation: clinical implications
OBJECTIVE Respiratory pressure-volume curves fitted to exponential equations have been used to assess disease severity and prognosis in spontaneously breathing patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Sigmoidal equations have been used to fit pressure-volume curves for mechanically ventilated patients but not for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients. We compared a sigmoidal model and an e...
متن کاملMechanical ventilation in patients with end-stage idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Acute respiratory failure (ARF) occurring during idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is associated with a poor prognosis. In this subset of individuals, mechanical ventilation (MV) may be required. OBJECTIVES We analysed the characteristics of a group of IPF patients undergoing MV for ARF in order to give some indications on the supposed prognosis. METHODS Hospital records of 34 ...
متن کاملComparison of the effect of pressure support ventilation and volume assured pressure support ventilation on weaning patients off mechanical ventilation after cardiac surgery
Background: Weaning from mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit is an important step in the treatment process. More patients in less than 6 hours after cardiac surgery can be separated from mechanical ventilation and extubated. However, 20-40% of patients after cardiac surgery, due to dysfunctional ventilator weaning response (DVWR), still remain under mechanical ventilation. Therefo...
متن کاملInvasive mechanical ventilation in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia.
(Intern Med 50: 173-174, 2011) (DOI: 10.2169/internalmedicine.50.4363) To the Editor We read with great interest the papers by Tomii and colleagues and Yokoyama and colleagues concerning the use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in managing life-threatening acute exacerbation of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (1, 2). We recently reviewed the data of 30 patients suffering of idiopathic pulmon...
متن کاملMeasurement of pressure-volume curves in patients on mechanical ventilation: methods and significance
Physiological background concerning mechanics of the respiratory system, techniques of measurement and clinical implications of pressure-volume curve measurement in mechanically ventilated patients are discussed in the present review. The significance of lower and upper inflection points, the assessment of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-induced alveolar recruitment and overdistension a...
