Background: Patient-ventilator asynchrony commonly occurs during pressure support ventilation (PSV). IntelliSync + software (Hamilton Medical AG, Bonaduz, Switzerland) is a new ventilation technology that continuously analyzes ventilator waveforms to detect the beginning and end of patient inspiration in real time. This study aimed to evaluate the physiological effect of IntelliSync + software on inspiratory trigger delay time, delta airway (P) and esophageal (P) pressure drop during the trigger phase, airway occlusion pressure at 0.

- Lung cancer incidence and mortality rates are notably higher in Asia, particularly East Asia, necessitating improved early detection and treatment strategies compared to Western countries.
- A virtual meeting of 19 healthcare advisors from 11 Asian countries led to the recommendation of annual low-dose computed tomography screening for those at high risk, along with tailored reassessment intervals based on individual risk factors.
- Challenges such as economic constraints and insufficient government programs hinder the implementation of effective lung cancer screening in Asia, prompting the need for strategic solutions.
Background: High-flow oxygen therapy via tracheostomy (HFT) can be used in tracheostomized patients during ventilator disconnection. The physiologic effects of this technique are unknown. We hypothesized that HFT would reduce inspiratory effort and improve breathing pattern compared to conventional oxygen therapy via T-tube.

Lung hyperinflation can also impair diaphragm function. Ultrasound can assess the activity, function, and force reserve of the diaphragm.
