It is shown that  weaning is conducted successfully by using Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) through T-piece and pressure support (PS) ventilation.But few studies ...

Background:  Successful weaning of the ventilator is a major challenge, especially in children. This study was conducted to compare the criteria of readiness for extubation and daily spontaneous breathing test (SBT) on the duration of mechanical ventilation and extubation failure rates. Materials and Metho...

conclusions pressure support ventilation, but not spontaneous breathing, induces a significant redistribution of ventilation towards the ventral region. the sensitivity of the support trigger appears to influence the distribution of ventilation only during the early phase of inspiration. background in supine position, pressure support ventilation causes a redistribution of ventilation towards t...

OBJECTIVE Neonates mechanic ventilation weaning has become a major clinical challenge, and constitutes a large portion of neonatal intensive care units workload. The spontaneous breathing trial (SBT), performed immediately before extubation, can provide useful information on the patient's spontaneous breathing ability. This study aimed to assess the SBT effectiveness for extubation success pred...

background and aims. lichen planus (lp) is a relatively common, chronic dermato-mucosal disease that often affects the oral mucosa. among bacterial infections affecting lp, helicobacter pylori has recently been proposed as an important etiologic factor. the present study was designed to evaluate the association of lp and h. pylori infection. materials and methods. this study included 30 patient...

OBJECTIVES To assess whether the combination of daily evaluation and use of a spontaneous breathing test could shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation as compared with weaning based on our standard of care. Secondary outcome measures included extubation failure rate and the need for noninvasive ventilation. DESIGN A prospective, randomized controlled trial. SETTING Two pediatric inte...

Introduction Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a useful tool in the intensive care unit (ICU) and in mechanical ventilation it has been possible to measure lung collapse that presents after a spontaneous breathing test by measuring lung aeration loss and detecting those patients that probably will fail extubation and assessing the necessity of non invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) as well as those ...

Objective To assess whether the spontaneous breathing test can predict the extubation failure in pediatric population. Methods A prospective and observational study that evaluated data of inpatients at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit between May 2011 and August 2013, receiving mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours followed by extubation. The patients were classified in two groups: Te...

Emerging evidence has suggested that with minimal prerequisite training, slow deep breathing around 0.10 Hz can acutely enhance cardiovagal baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in humans. Such reports have led to the speculation that behavioral interventions designed to reduce breathing frequency may serve a therapeutic role in ameliorating depressed baroreflex function in conditions such as chronic he...
