About this trial

This project focuses on the analysis of the correlation between transpulmonary driving pressure and uneven lung ventilation and regional lung compliance in patients using prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV), in order to understand the clinical occurrence of failure of the final spontaneous breathing test and inability to breathe. Respiratory physiology impairments in patients successfully discharged from respirators.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Post-tracheostomy patients who are transferred to the subacute respiratory care ward of National Taiwan University Hospital must use respirators for at least 14 days;

Be at least 20 years old;

The oxygen concentration required when using the respirator does not exceed 50%

Disqualifiers

The vital signs are unstable or require continuous use of vasopressors;

Pregnancy;

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma;

Those who have contraindications to the placement of esophageal pressure balloons, such as abnormal blood coagulation, esophageal varices, and those who have undergone esophageal or gastric surgery in the past six months;

Trial population

This project hopes to conduct research on patients on prolonged ventilator use (PMV). This group is an important manifestation of chronic severe illness and prolonged use of respirators after acute illness.

SIMV+PSV(Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation + pressure support ventilation)

Timing points for measurement in respiratory physiology assessment include: 1) once when the ventilator is reduced to the lowest supported SIMV+PV mode, and once in the first and fourth hours of the four-hour weaning test period (collar mask), for a total of three times. The measurement tools were the EIT measuring instrument (PulmoVista 500, Dräger Medical, Lübeck, Germany) and the IC measuring instrument Engström Carestation (GE Healthcare, Madison, WI, USA) available in the Department of Respiratory Therapy of our hospital. The methods for measuring EIT 62,64 and IC 57 were as described in the literature30. Tubes will also be installed and connected to the instruments provided by the respiratory therapy department. The esophageal pressure measurement tube is an esophageal balloon similar to a nasogastric tube. The esophageal balloon used in this study has two functions of pressure measurement and nasogastric tube (Nutrivent®), which can be placed for 30 days and has the function of
