Respiratory failure & ventilation
High respiratory effort decreases splanchnic and peripheral perfusion in patients with respiratory failure during mechanical ventilation
Authors' conclusion
HRE could decrease perfusion of peripheral tissues and splanchnic organs.
Study context
- Population
- Critically ill patients with respiratory failure during mechanical ventilationeach measured at high respiratory effort (HRE) and normal respiratory effort (NRE)
- Participants
- 33 patients
- Exposure
- HRE vs NRE
- Outcome
- Peripheral and splanchnic perfusion (capillary refill time (CRT), peripheral perfusion index (PPI), Doppler resistance indices) from HRE to NRE
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- NRE vs HRE: P = 0.0345
- NRE vs HRE: P < 0.0001
- NRE vs HRE: P < 0.0001
- NRE vs HRE: P = 0.0002
- NRE vs HRE: P < 0.0001
- NRE vs HRE: P < 0.0001
Observational data: associations, not effects.
