Abstract Surface electromyography (sEMG) can be used to measure the electrical activity of respiratory muscles. The possible applications sEMG span from patients suffering acute failure receiving chronic home mechanical ventilation, evaluate muscle function, titrate ventilatory support and guide treatment. However, is mainly as a monitoring tool for research its use in clinical practice still limited—in part due lack standardization transparent reporting. During this round table meeting,...
Abstract Background Respiratory effort should be closely monitored in mechanically ventilated ICU patients to avoid both overassistance and underassistance. Surface electromyography of the diaphragm (sEMGdi) offers a continuous non-invasive modality assess respiratory based on neuromuscular coupling (NMCdi). The sEMGdi derived electrical activity (sEAdi) is prone distortion by crosstalk from other muscles including heart, hindering its widespread use clinical practice. We developed an...
With a modified circuit, it is feasible to ventilate two patients with one ventilator over relevant range of compliances. Adding inspiratory resistance allows individual titration tidal volume, and incorporating one-way valves prevents pendelluft. https://bit.ly/3ex8SYP.
