Abstract

< 40%. Expiratory trigger was set at 1%, 25%, 50% and 70%, for at least 5-minute period each. Respiratory rate, f / Vt ratio, Vt, Ve, SpO2, and Ti / Ttot were measured in each percentage of ET. Analysis of variance for repeated measures was used to analyze variations during the four ET values and to verify variations out of the comfort zone. Bonferroni test was used to identify which values were significantly different among the multiple comparisons. A probability of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Tidal volume, RR and f / Vt ratio presented significant increase in the percentage of patients that showed these parameters out of the comfort zone (p = 0.0025, p = 0.0002 and p = 0.007 respectively). No respiratory parameter presented significant variations when the comparisons were made from 1% to 25% of ET. Conclusions: In non-COPD patients, the use of ET in 1% or 25% has no effect on the respiratory parameters. The increase of ET to 50% or more can worse the respiratory parameters and lead to a rapid shallow breathing, suggesting that these values should be avoided in non-COPD patients.

Highlights

  • Many authors have written about the need to treat patients closer to their beds, in order to observe them more as distinct people

  • We found that CCR2–/– mice subjected to severe sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) exhibited reduced neutrophil infiltration in the heart, lung and kidney and an enhanced survival rate when compared with WT mice subjected to severe sepsis

  • Our findings demonstrated that Toll-like receptors (TLRs) activation induced the CCR2 expression and CCL2 responsiveness in human and murine neutrophils, and this expression profile in neutrophils is involved in the detrimental infiltration of these cells in distant tissues during server sepsis

Summary

Introduction

Many authors have written about the need to treat patients closer to their beds, in order to observe them more as distinct people. Aortic dissection and aneurysm groups were analyzed against each other; and AAD patients were compared with paired matched CABG brackets for morbidity (postoperative complications and ICU and hospital lengths of stay) and 1-month and 6-month mortality. The incidence of VAP is high, varying between 6% and 52%, depending on the studied population, on the type of UTI and on the type of diagnosis technique used; in spite of being an extremely important infection, it is one of the most difficult diagnoses in critically ill patients. The objective of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of a daily MDR to improve compliance with the VAP bundle recommendations and other beneficial prophylactic measures in a high-volume critical care unit. Objective To verify the validity of the ADHERE CART method to stratify the risk of inhospital mortality of patients admitted with ADHF in a high-complexity Brazilian hospital
