Objectives: To compare and to analyze whether the values of rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) determined by a ventilator display and a digital ventilometer were correlated. Methods: Twenty-two adult patients (17 males and 5 females) in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery and in mechanical ventilation were studied. Prior to the data collection, each patient was evaluated, received physical therapy, in order to promote bronchial hygiene and pulmonary reexpansion, and was positioned in elevated dorsal recumbent at 45°. After these procedures, minute ventilation (MV) and respiratory rate (RR) obtained from mechanical ventilator display and digital ventilometer were recorded. The RSBI was calculated by the ratio of RR and tidal volume (VT). Paired t-test was used to compare related variables. The intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) were used to measure the reproducibility of the scores. Results: A significant difference was found between the RSBI obtained from the ventilator and ...

RSBI calculator (rapid shallow breathing index) is a helpful tool if you are considering weaning your patient from mechanical ventilation.

The rapid shallow breathing index is calculated by finding the respiratory frequency and tidal volume of the patients breathing pattern. The index is expressed as a mathematical ratio such that the...

Weaning of mechanical ventilation (MV) is an essential part in management of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) when critically ill. The best strategy to be used has not been established.. Objective: To compare the Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) in Pressure Support Ventilation with SBT through T tube in weaning of MV in patients with COPD.. Design: Randomized Clinical Trial. Methods: This study will include patients with COPD, admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Hospital Nossa Senhora da Conceição, undergoing MV for at least 48 hours. When considered by the care team ready for SBT, they will be randomized to one of the following strategies: SBT in Pressure Support or SBT through T Tube. The primary endpoint of this study will be the reduction in the days spent on MV. Other outcomes measured will be mortality, extubation and success rate, time to weaning of MV, length of ICU stay and incidence of tracheostomy. ...

Post-extubation respiratory failure causes between 5-30% of patients to require reintubation, which is associated with increased mortality. Spontaneous breathing trials aim to evaluate when a patient is ready for extubation and involves a trial of T-tube, low level pressure support or continuous positive airway pressure for varying durations ranging from 30 to 120 minutes. It was hypothesised that a rest period after a spontaneous breathing trial will improve extubation rates.. Method. A parallel, two-arm, prospective, randomised controlled trial in 17 Spanish Medical-Surgical ICUs aimed to test this hypothesis. From October 2013 to January 2015, 470 mechanically ventilated patients who had been receiving Mechanical Ventilation for at least 12 hours were enrolled.. If spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) was successful they were either extubated immediately (Control group) or reconnected to the ventilator with the previous ventilator parameters for 1 hour of rest and then extubated (Rest ...

Among 60 patients, 29 cases developed respiratory failure within 48 h, and 14 cases were re-intubated or died within 1 week, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that E/Ea (average) after SBT [odds ratio (OR) 1.450, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.092-1.926, P = 0.01] and left ventricular ejection fraction were associated with respiratory failure. The AUC of E/Ea (average) after SBT was 0.789, and a cut-off value ≥ 12.5 showed the highest diagnostic accuracy with a sensitivity and specificity of 72.4% and 77.4%, respectively. Furthermore, in the respiratory failure subgroup only DE (average) after SBT was associated with re-intubation (OR 0.690, CI 0.499-0.953, P = 0.024). The AUC of DE (average) after SBT was 0.805, and a cut-off value ≤ 12.6 mm showed the highest diagnostic accuracy with a sensitivity and specificity of 80% and 68.4%, respectively.. CONCLUSIONS ...

Michael J. Cawley, PharmD, RRT, CPFT, FCCM, and Kenneth D. Hargett, MHA, RRT, FAARC, FCCM, review spontaneous awakening trials (SAT) and spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) to reduce the intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS) and to help improve ICU outcomes.

Unnecessary delays in removing patients from mechanical ventilation increase morbidity, mortality, and cost. According to recently published guidelines, the current standard of care for weaning involves the daily assessment of patients while they are breathing spontaneously, also known as spontaneous breathing trials (SBT). While there are important data to support a daily cessation of sedatives and analgesics to the point of patient awakening, the benefit of combining such a daily spontaneous awakening trial (SAT) and an SBT is not known.. This multi-center, randomized controlled trial will test whether a 2-step process of weaning that combines a daily awakening trial (achieved by stopping all sedatives and narcotics every morning) with a daily spontaneous breathing trial is superior to the current standard of care.. The number of days the patient is able to live off the ventilator is the primary question being studied. The secondary questions include the number of days the patient is in ...

With that clarification out of the way its time for me to update an old post which summarized recommendations on this topic. That post presented an evidence based method for daily extubation assessment of mechanically ventilated patients, focusing on the spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). Although I stand by the premise of that post it needs updating in light of this study which looked at integrating the daily SBT with a daily spontaneous awakening trial (SAT) as a protocol. Given that daily SATs (sedation interruptions) and SBTs are commonplace (or should be) in mechanically ventilated patients whats so new and different about this? I dont know for sure, but when those two procedures were organized in the form of an explicit protocol they out performed usual care in several metrics including mortality (NNT=7!). So what was usual care? Surprisingly it looked pretty evidence based---it employed the daily spontaneous breathing trial. But, apparently, in the usual care group, given that the SATs ...

An interesting study by Tulaimat and Mokhlesi1 regarding the accuracy and reliability of extubation decisions that recently appeared in the Journal merits additional comment. The implicit study question is whether an informed decision to extubate following a successful spontaneous breathing trial is any better than random chance. By study design, the clinical vignettes were selected so that, if a decision to extubate was made by coin flip, without any clinical information, the sensitivity and specificity (as defined in the study) would be expected to reach 50%. It was disappointing that, overall, experienced clinicians performed marginally better than a coin flip in predicting extubation success (ie, 57% sensitivity), but they were highly inaccurate in predicting weaning failure (ie, 31% specificity).. In a post hoc analysis, clinicians whose extubation decision-making was relatively aggressive achieved a higher sensitivity (62%), whereas clinicians whose extubation decision-making was ...

BACKGROUND: The quest to obtain an accurate way to predict success when weaning a patient from mechanical ventilation continues. The established parameters such as tidal volume (Vt), respiratory rate (f), negative inspiratory force (NIF), vital capacity (VC), and minute ventilation (V) have not predicted weaning accurately. The frequency-to-tidal volume ratio (f/Vt), or rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) is a good predictor of weaning success if the value is low, but not when the value approximates 105. Because of the aforementioned, we decided to add 2 corrective factors to the RSBI. The first one was elastance index (EI = peak pressure/NIF) and the second one, the ventilatory demand index (VDI = minute ventilation/10). The result of the product of the RSBI × EI × VDI was called the weaning index (WI).. METHODS: In order to assess the discriminatory power of WI, we obtained weaning parameters and calculated WI for 59 patients in our intensive care unit and extubated them if RSBI was ≤105. ...

Twenty four patients were included, the following data were assessed: spontaneous respiratory frequency [/], spontaneous tidal volume [VT], peak inspiratory pressure [PIP], plateau airway pressure [P plat], maximum inspiratory pressure [PImax], rapid shallow breathing index [RSBI], dynamic compliance [Cdyn], static compliance [Cst], alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient [[A-a] O [2] and], minute ventilation [VE], shunt fraction and arterial to inspired oxygen ratio [PaO [2] /FIO2]. Eighteen patients were successfully weaned [GI] and six failed the T-piece trial [Gil]. Significant differences were found between both groups as regards RSBI, Cst, Cdyn, shunt fraction, p [A-a] O [2] Pplat and PaO2/FIO [2] [ ...

During the past year, 17 scientific publications, 3 case reports, 6 editorials, and 8 reviews were published, for a total of 33 papers on PubMed.. ADULT studies:. 1. NAVA vs. PAV vs. PSV in difficult to wean patients. In seventeen difficult to wean adult patients, Akoumianaki et al. (Respir Physiol & Neurobiology) compared physiologic parameters (Edi, Pes, Pdi, breathing pattern and arterial blood gases) during two 20-min periods of NAVA or PAV or PSV, without or with a respiratory challenge (added dead space or added load). The assist levels were set to obtain matching Pdi. Compared to PSV, both NAVA and PAV demonstrated proportionality between effort and VT, as well as improved variability in tidal volume. Trigger delays were significantly longer during PAV and PSV compared to NAVA.. 2. Patient-ventilator interaction in non-invasive ventilation (COPD). In the study of Doorduin et al (Crit Care), twelve COPD patients were ventilated with non-invasive NAVA (NIV-NAVA), PSV with a dedicated NIV ...

The value of an index for weaning from mechanical ventilation is its ability to predict respiratory endurance (1). Endurance reflects the ability of the respiratory capacity to meet the respiratory demands of resistive load from airways or endotracheal tube resistance, and elastic load from conditions that decrease compliance (e.g., fibrosis). Of the new indices that the authors present, the average VT and the ratio of respiratory frequency to tidal volume (f/VT) determined during a 1-minute bedside trial of spontaneous ventilation, are simple and warrant widespread consideration. 24 hours is a reasonable period of time to define successful liberation from mechanical ventilation but failures that occur shortly thereafter, often in less closely monitored environments, can have serious consequences. The f/VT index was the best predictor of successful weaning in this study. The usefulness of f/VT, however, should not eliminate careful systematic attention to other measurements that correlate ...

The first fundamental problem in weaning is deciding when to initiate the process. With widespread use of patient-assisted ventilatory modes, it is difficult to stipulate when mechanical ventilation changes from primary support to assistance in weaning. Nevertheless, delayed discontinuation of mechanical ventilation or repeated failed attempts at extubation could be avoided if there were criteria to predict weaning success or failure. The accuracy of these predictors of weaning outcome ( Table 2) are conflicting owing to differences in definitions, study methodologies, and cut-off values to separate success from failure. This is not surprising, given the many determinants of ventilator dependence. One proposed predictor, the ratio of frequency to tidal volume ( Yang„.a.nd..Tob.!0 1991), is simple to measure and is an index of rapid shallow breathing. Nonetheless, there is no consistent evidence to support the usefulness of any set of criteria to hasten the process of weaning ( Slutsky ...

If you starve yourself youre more likely to binge and not have energy to exercise. I dont think you need to wean to lose the weight but if you think you do and that is more important than continuing to nurse I dont think anyone is going to stop you.

In this group of patients a great number failed in the weaning process, showing, as expected, a higher mortality rate. Parameters most related to failure in the literature were higher age, longer length of ICU stay, mortality and f/VT. In this study, just the last parameter was sensitive principally in the 30th minute, and higher increase in f/VT (Δf/VT) during the test, demonstrating that patients with cardiac disease not fail more than others during the weaning process, as well as the efficiency of the test to predict success in weaning..

The authors didnt report the standard deviation (SD) for the primary outcome, the duration of mechanical ventilation, so we cant calculate a 95% confidence interval for the difference. (An aside: I know the authors of this trial and Im surprised they didnt report the 95% CI for the difference. I could estimate the SD from their Figure 2, if the data were normally distributed, but the distribution is highly skewed, so I dont want to commit a foundational error there.) A proportional outcome, the percentage successfully extubated was about 75% in each group and we dont need a SD for a proportion. The 95% CI for the difference in these proportions with 150 patients in each group is approximately -10% to +10%. Whether this is good enough for us, to conclude that a difference in successful weaning of 10% in either direction is negligible, I dont know ...

Identifying patients who are ready for weaning and liberation from veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is challenging in clinical practice. Compared to the several trials addressing the safety and efficacy of ECMO in severe ARDS [1,2,3,4], the body of literature regarding ECMO weaning is remarkably scarce. Therefore, this essential component of the management of patients on ECMO is highly variable and often lacks of a systematic approach [5], analogously to the weaning protocols and spontaneous breathing trials used for liberation from mechanical ventilation [6].. The trajectory from ECMO cannulation to lung recovery and ECMO decannulation consists in the transition from a phase in which ECMO is essential to meet the patients metabolic needs (i.e. metabolic oxygen consumption and CO2 production) to a phase in which the native lung function has recovered to satisfy completely the metabolic demands, even if with a degree of ventilatory support considered safe. In between ...

Initial RSBI was similar in Extubation Success and Extubation Failure groups (77.0 ± 4.8, 77.0 ± 4.8, p = ns). Nevertheless, RSBI tended to remain unchanged or decreased in the Extubation Success group; in contrast RSBI tended to increase in the Extubation Failure group because of either increased RR and/or decreased VT (p , 0.001 for mean percent change RSBI over time), indicating worsening of the respiratory pattern. Quantitatively, only 7/63 subjects of the Extubation Success group demonstrated increased RSBI ≥20% at any time during the SBT. In contrast, in the Extubation Failure group, RSBI increased in all subjects during the SBT, and eight of nine subjects demonstrated an increase greater than 20%. Thus, with a 2-h SBT the optimal threshold was a 20% increase (sensitivity = 89%, specificity = 89%). Similar results were obtained at 30 min (threshold = 5% increase). Percent change of RSBI predicted successful extubation even when initial values were ≥105.. ...

To find out which ventilation mode or method your patient is receiving, check the ventilator itself or the respiratory flow sheet. The mode depends on patient variables, including the indication for mechanical ventilation.. Modes include those that provide specific amounts of TV during inspiration, such as assist-control (A/C) and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV); and those that provide a preset level of pressure during inspiration, such as pressure support ventilation (PSV) and airway pressure release ventilation. PSV allows spontaneously breathing patients to take their own amount of TV at their own rate. A/C and continuous mandatory ventilation provide a set TV at a set respiratory rate. SIMV delivers a set volume at a set rate, but lets patients initiate their own breaths in synchrony with the ventilator.. Some patients may receive adjuvant therapy, such as positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). With PEEP, a small amount of continuous pressure (generally from +5 to ...

Press Release issued Jan 13, 2015: Ventilator is a life supporting healthcare device which regulates breathing of a patient during his treatment. Ventilators are used in the condition of serious lung disease or in other conditions which result in improper working of respiratory system. Ventilators help the patient to breathe easily. On the basis of type of product, ventilators may be classified into critical care ventilators, neonatal ventilators and transport and portable ventilators. On the basis of delivery of oxygen into the lungs, ventilators are of two types such as positive pressure mechanical ventilators and negative pressure mechanical ventilators. Ventilators are used generally used in hospitals. However, in conditions where patient needs long term care facilities and require ventilators for the rest of their lives, the ventilators can be used at home.

Objective To assess current ventilation practices in newborn infants. Study design We conducted a 2-point cross-sectional study in 173 European neonatal intensive care units, including 535 infants (mean gestational age 28 weeks and birth weight 1024 g). Patient characteristics, ventilator settings, and measurements were collected bedside from endotracheally ventilated infants. Results A total of 457 (85%) patients were conventionally ventilated. Time cycled pressure-limited ventilation was used in 59% of these patients, most often combined with synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (51%). Newer conventional ventilation modes like volume targeted and pressure support ventilation were used in, respectively, 9% and 7% of the patients. The mean tidal volume, measured in 84% of the conventionally ventilated patients, was 5.7 +/- 2.3 ml/kg. The mean positive end-expiratory pressure was 4.5 +/- 1.1 cmH(2)O and rarely exceeded 7 cmH(2)O. Conclusions Time cycled pressure-limited ventilation is ...

A hospital bed supported on a wheeled base, and a ventilator supported on a wheeled cart and docked to the base of the bed, the combination of ventilator and bed capable of being rolled as a single unit. The ventilator cart includes a wheeled base, and supports connected to the base for supporting a ventilator, with the supports providing for selective raising and lowering of the ventilator. The hospital bed base is wheeled and has a generally Y-shaped base frame. The outspread arms of the Y-shaped base frame receive the ventilator cart so that the two may be docked together. The ventilator when docked to the hospital bed base falls within the footprint of the bed as projected downwardly onto the floor. A latch secures the ventilator to the bed base. A disabling switch disables the high/low function of the bed preventing the bed from being lowered downwardly onto the ventilator. A power supply mounted to the bed base provides for uninterrupted operation of the ventilator. A care cart docks to the foot

Medical ventilator is a mechanical ventilator, its a machine designed or intended to move breathable air into and out of the lungs, to provide breathing for a patient who is physically not able to breath. In ventilators the air supply is pneumatically packed a few times each moment to convey room-air, or in most cases, an air/oxygen mixture to the patient. If a turbine is used, the turbine pushes air through the ventilator, with a flow valve adjusting pressure to meet patient-specific parameters.. The cutting edge ventilators are modernized ventilator machines, in which patients can be ventilated with a bag valve mask, a simple had operated bag valve mask, a basic hand worked sack valve veil. Modern positive pressure ventilator consisting of straight forward structure of a compressible air reservoir or turbine, air and oxygen supplies a set of valves and tubes, and a disposable or reusable patient circuit..

As soon as able wean the rate in steps of 5 breaths. Provided the patient is triggering breaths at or above the set rate then all you will be doing is swapping a big breath with a guaranteed Ti and tidal volume/Pressure for a smaller Pressure Support breath.. Once you have reached a rate of 5 breaths per minute the next step is to switch the patient to PS CPAP (the patient will already be mostly on PS CPAP as only 5 of their breaths will be big breaths and all other breaths will be PS breaths. When switching to PS CPAP, keep the pressure support and PEEP set the same as it was on the previous mode.. Wean the PS in steps of 2 till a pressure of 6 cmH2O is reached. Wean PEEP to 6 cmH2O. If the patient is stable on PS CPAP ON 6/6 (peak pressure of 12) and there are no contraindications a trial of extubation can be considered..
