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 کاملA Randomized Placebo-controlled Trial of Clonidine Impact on Sedation of Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients
Clonidine has sedative and analgesic properties. Randomized studies examining these properties in mechanically ventilated ICU patients are scarce. This study was designed to assess the impact of clonidine on sedative agent use in mechanically ventilated patients.In a prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study in a general ICU of a university medical center in Tehran, Iran, ...

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...
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...
