Contribution and evolution of respiratory muscles function in weaning outcome of ventilator-dependent patients.

Crit Care

Background: The present study was designed to investigate the evolution and the impact of respiratory muscles function and limb muscles strength on weaning success in prolonged weaning of tracheotomized patients. The primary objective was to determine whether the change in respiratory muscles function and limb muscles strength over the time is or is not associated with weaning success.

Methods: Tracheotomized patients who were ventilator dependent upon admission at a weaning center were eligible.

Background: The effectiveness of diaphragmatic electrical stimulation (DES) compared to mechanical ventilation (MV) in improving clinical outcomes such as quality-of-life (QOL) and hospital stay remains inconsistent.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, LILACS, and IEEE Xplore. We included comparative studies (randomized controlled trials and observational studies) of DES administered via the phrenic nerve or intramuscular electrodes, compared with MV in adults with diaphragmatic paralysis or paresis.

Enhanced phrenic motor neuron BDNF expression elicited by daily acute intermittent hypoxia is undermined in rats with chronic cervical spinal cord injury.

Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) elicits spinal neuroplasticity and is emerging as a potential therapeutic modality to improve respiratory and non-respiratory motor function in people with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is necessary and sufficient for moderate AIH-induced phrenic long-term facilitation, a well-studied form of respiratory motor plasticity. Repetitive daily AIH (dAIH) enhances BDNF expression within the phrenic motor neurons of normal rats, but its effects on BDNF after chronic cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI) are unknown.
