Summary

Objective: To compare termination criteria (TC) of pressure support ventilation (PSV).

Design: Randomized cross-over clinical trial.

Setting: Intensive Care Units.

Patients: Sixteen patients on PSV with ability to answer a visual analog scale (VAS).

Protocol and Measurements: Each patient was ventilated with two different TC ventilators, fixed and automatic, with measurements of ventilatory mechanic variables, breathing comfort and asynchrony patterns.

Conditions

  • Ventilator Weaning
  • Respiration, Artificial

Interventions

OTHER

Pulmonary Ventilator

The aim of the present study was to compare two different cycling off modes in PSV, a fixed and other automatic, about ventilatory mechanic variables, breathing comfort and patient-ventilator asynchrony patterns
