Effect of pressure rise time on ventilator parameters and gas exchange during neonatal ventilation

Abstract

Pressure rise time (PRT), also known as slope time to the peak inflating pressure can be set on some modern neonatal ventilators. On other ventilators, PRT is determined by the set circuit flow. Changing slope time can affect mean airway pressure (MAP), oxygenation, and carbon dioxide elimination. Our aim was to investigate the effect of PRT on ventilator parameters and gas exchange during volume-guaranteed ventilation. In a crossover study, 12 infants weighing greater than 2 kg were ventilated using a Dräger Babylog VN500 ventilator with synchronized intermittent positive pressure ventilation with volume guarantee (SIPPV-VG) and pressure support ventilation with volume guarantee (PSV-VG). During both modes PRTs between 0.08 and 0.40 seconds were used in 15-minute epochs. Data from the ventilator and patient monitors were downloaded with 1- and 100-Hz sampling rate and analyzed using the Python computer language. During PSV-VG, longer PRTs were associated with longer inspiratory time (P < .0001) and with lower peak inflating pressure (PIP; P = .003), but the MAP was similar. During SIPPV-VG the PIP was not significantly different; however, MAP was lower with longer PRT (P = .001). With a short PRT (0.08 seconds), the PIP was hi...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
