Let’s get in sync: current standing and future of AI-based detection of patient-ventilator asynchrony

Summary of “Let’s get in sync: current standing and future of AI-based detection of patient-ventilator asynchrony” Abstract Patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA), a frequent mismatch between the patient’s breathing effort and ventilator support, can lead to adverse outcomes such as prolonged ventilation, lung injury, and diaphragm dysfunction. While visual detection is difficult and time-consuming, artificial intelligence (AI)

Advances in achieving lung and diaphragm-protective ventilation

Summary of “Advances in achieving lung and diaphragm-protective ventilation” Abstract Mechanical ventilation, while lifesaving, poses risks to both lung and diaphragm integrity. This review discusses the latest evidence and technologies for monitoring and interventions that support the combined goal of lung- and diaphragm-protective ventilation (LDPV). It emphasizes noninvasive bedside strategies, optimal titration of ventilator support,

Ten rules for optimizing ventilatory settings and targets in post-cardiac arrest patients

Summary of “Ten rules for optimizing ventilatory settings and targets in post-cardiac arrest patients” Abstract This review proposes ten evidence-based rules to optimize mechanical ventilation in post-cardiac arrest (CA) patients. It focuses on lung-protective strategies, the balance of ventilator settings, and their influence on systemic physiology—especially cerebral function. Emphasizing parameters such as tidal volume, plateau

Setting the ventilator with AI support: challenges and perspectives

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a cornerstone of intensive care medicine. However, when used inappropriately, it can cause additional harm, including a condition known as ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) [1]. To mitigate this risk, lung-protective ventilation strategies are of utmost importance. It is, however, essential to note that lung-protective ventilation is also currently evolving from “standard

Mechanical ventilation energy analysis: Recruitment focuses injurious power in the ventilated lung

Abstract The progression of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) from its onset due to disease or trauma to either recovery or death is poorly understood. Currently, there are no generally accepted treatments aside from supportive care using mechanical ventilation. However, this can lead to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), which contributes to a 30 to 40%

Navigating Heart–Lung Interactions in Mechanical Ventilation: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Advanced Management Strategies in ARDS and Beyond

Abstract Patients in critical condition who require mechanical ventilation experience intricate interactions between their respiratory and cardiovascular systems. These complex interactions are crucial for clinicians to understand as they can significantly influence therapeutic decisions and patient outcomes. A deep understanding of heart–lung interactions is essential, particularly under the stress of mechanical ventilation, where the right
