Article Synopsis
- Patient-ventilator asynchrony is a common issue in mechanically ventilated patients, but many healthcare professionals struggle to identify and manage it effectively.
- A 36-hour training program was implemented for healthcare professionals from 20 hospitals in Latin America and Spain, which included a mix of live lectures and daily follow-up sessions over a month.
- Results showed a significant improvement in participants' understanding and management of patient-ventilator asynchrony, with performance maintained one month after the training.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how common elevated mechanical power (MP) values are in critically ill patients on invasive mechanical ventilation.
- It analyzed data from 372 patients across 133 Critical Care Units, revealing higher MP in pressure-controlled (PC) ventilation compared to volume-controlled (VC) ventilation, but no significant difference in the prevalence of high MP (>17J/min) between the two methods.
- The findings suggest a notable number of patients may face the risk of high MP, indicating a need for careful monitoring in ventilated patients, despite the lack of a significant difference in high MP prevalence based on the ventilation type.
