Factors Associated with Delayed Extubation in Post Cardiac Surgery Patients
The process of extubation is a crucial phase in postoperative care. By comprehending the elements that impact DE, healthcare providers can effectively allocate medical resources to enhance the success of weaning, extubation,... read more
Mechanical Ventilation in the ICU: A New Approach and Treatment
In the present book, a broad description of the processes carried out in patients with mechanical ventilation in the ICU is made. It covers from an overview of mechanical ventilation and some of its history to the processes... read more
Successful Treatment of Unilateral Pulmonary Edema as Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery Complication
We successfully treated this patient using ECMO and independent lung ventilation. Several cases have been described in the literature, but the pathogenesis and risk factors of UPE remain unclear. Management depends on... read more
Weaning Sedation in Pediatric Intensive Care
The use of sedation and analgesia to provide comfort, safety, and pain treatment are central principles in the care of critically ill children. Most critically ill children are at risk of experiencing pain and discomfort... read more
Prediction of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation in the ICU via Machine Learning
Early recognition of risk factors for prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) could allow for early clinical interventions, prevention of secondary complications such as nosocomial infections, and effective triage of hospital... read more
Optimizing ICU Weaning: Globalizing Personalized Weaning Strategies
this study provides compelling evidence supporting the concept of individualized weaning in the ICU. By tailoring spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) methods to match specific patient conditions, it represents an essential... read more
Predictors of Weaning Failure in Ventilated ICU Patients
Predictors for weaning failure are widely researched. To date, 145 predictors have been investigated with varying intensity in 140 studies that are in line with the current weaning definition. It is no longer just individual... read more
Predictive Value of Diaphragm and Lung Ultrasonography for Weaning Failure in Critically Ill Patients with ARF Due to COVID-19 Pneumonia
Patients undergoing mechanical ventilation due to respiratory failure require a comprehensive approach to determine the optimal timing for weaning from ventilatory support. Evaluating respiratory mechanics, maximal muscle... read more
Assessment of Respiratory Muscles, Lung Parenchyma, and Cardiac Function by Ultrasound for Predicting Weaning Failure in Critically Ill Adults
Parasternal intercostal muscle thickening fraction (PMTF) has good discriminatory power to predict weaning outcomes (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve: 0.74 [0.59–0.88]). Pre-SBT PMTF had similar power... read more
Respiratory Effort in Mechanical Ventilation Weaning Prediction
This study demonstrates that PMI and ΔPocc are effective in predicting weaning outcomes in patients with DT≥2mm. The effectiveness of P0.1 in assessing weaning is also significantly higher in this subgroup. These findings... read more
Low-Frequency Ventilation May Facilitate Weaning in ARDS Treated with ECMO
Low-frequency ventilation is comparable to conventional protective ventilation in patients with ARDS who have been treated with ECMO. However, low-frequency ventilation may support weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation... read more
Critical Care Device Series: External Ventricular Drain
External ventricular drainage (EVD), is one of the most frequently performed neurosurgical procedures, with approximately 20,000 performed annually. EVD placement is often considered a lifesaving measure to alleviate severe... read more
Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation in ICUs Across 50 Countries
Current management practices and outcomes in weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation are poorly understood. We aimed to describe the epidemiology, management, timings, risk for failure, and outcomes of weaning in patients... read more
Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation and Difficult Weaning in Critical Care
This book establishes the indications for the use of NIV in the context of weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation. It provides a comprehensive overview of key topics relevant for correct practical application, including... read more
Weaning from Ventilation and Extubation of Children in Critical Care
By reading this article, you should be able to: - Identify the predictors of successful extubation in pediatric ICU (PICU) patients. - Describe the factors affecting mechanical ventilator weaning in PICU patients. -... read more
Non-Invasive Ventilation and Weaning: Principles and Practice, Second Edition
Now in full-colour, this eagerly-anticipated second edition continues to be the most comprehensive resource available on non-invasive ventilation (NIV), both in the hospital and at home. Reflecting a global perspective with... read more
Weaning Methods From Mechanical Ventilation in Adult Patients
In general consideration, our study provided evidence that weaning with proportional assist ventilation has a high probability of being the most effective ventilation mode for patients with mechanical ventilation regarding... read more
Adrenal Insufficiency in Patients Taking Benralizumab as Corticosteroid Sparing Therapy
A personalised regimen of tapering oral corticosteroids in the presence of the anti-IL5 receptor α-directed cytolytic monoclonal antibody benralizumab can help to achieve elimination or dose reduction of oral corticosteroids... read more
