Gastric Pressure Monitoring Unveils Abnormal Patient–Ventilator Interaction Related to Active Expiration

Autuors: Evangelia Akoumianaki, M.D., Ph.D. et al  Anesthesiology September 2024, Vol. 141, 541–553. Background Patient–ventilator dyssynchrony is frequently observed during assisted mechanical ventilation. However, the effects of expiratory muscle contraction on patient–ventilator interaction are underexplored. The authors hypothesized that active expiration would affect patient–ventilator interaction and they tested their hypothesis in a mixed cohort of invasively […]
