Filter by:Interest in low fresh gas flow anesthesia has increased in recent years. The high standard of anesthesia machines, the presence of monitors that continuously and thoroughly analyze the anesthetic gas composition, and the increased knowledge of the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of inhalation anesthetics greatly facilitated the safe administration of low-flow anesthesia.Low-flow anesthesia can be mentioned for most patients if modern re-breathing systems are used but only if the fresh gas flow rate is reduced below 2 lt / min. In 1974, Virtue was defined as a technique called minimal flow, in which the fresh gas flow was not exceeded 0.5 lt / min. Although there are too many applications for low current in the literature, there is little literature for use in one lung.
In December 2019 a new kind of virus was identified in China as the responsible of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and interstitial pneumonia. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) quickly spread around the world and in February 2020 became a pandemia in Europe. No pharmacological treatment is actually licensed for the SARS-CoV2 infection and at the current state of art there is a lack of data about the clinical management of the coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19). The aim of this observational study is to collect the data and the outcomes of COVID-19 patients admitted in the H. Sacco Respiratory Unit treated according to the Standard Operating Procedures and the Good Clinical Practice.
Mechanical ventilation can cause damage to the lung parenchyma, this is known as ventilatory induce lung injury (VILI).To avoid this damage, ventilatory strategies have been created, focused on the reduction of tidal volume, airway pressures and use of PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure), which together are called "protective ventilation". Although ventilation with protective parameters seems to reduce VILI in one-lung ventilation, the optimal parameters are not clear.
This study aims at assessing the respiratory mechanics of intubated patients in intensive care unit.
The study compares two different ventilation modes, Pressure support ventilation vs. Neuronally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist, in postcardiac surgery patients. Of special interest is shunt and alveolar deadspace and ventral vs. dorsal ventilation.
