Ventilatory muscle recruitment and work of breathing in patients with respiratory failure after thoracic surgery1

Abstract: These results demonstrated two different types of respiratory failure in thoracic surgery patients, focusing on the impact of phrenic nerve paralysis. Diaphragmatic dysfunction should not be overlooked in postoperative care, and the amelioration of this compromise in respiratory mechanics is an important aspect of good patient management.

“…CPT was aimed to help a patient to be weaned off the ventilator by removing secretion and increasing ventilation. Thoracic movement disorders can also occur from prolonged ventilator use (Takeda et al, 1999), due to air-trapping and hyperinflation of the chest wall, which causes the intercostal muscles to become lengthened.…”

“…In healthy men, negative airway pressures during inspiration are physiological. In patients with impaired respiratory mechanics following thoracotomy, however, negative inspiratory pressure changes, and loss of positive airway pressure following extubation may cause derecruitment of lung areas and atelectasis, leading to a worsening of pulmonary gas exchange (12,13) and increased respiratory workload (14). In conjunction with shallow breathing as a result of insufficient pain relief or postoperative drowsiness and persistent diaphragmatic dysfunction, these mechanisms may cause hypoxemia and contribute to increased pulmonary morbidity.…”

“…A human respiratory system during and after weaning from MV was modeled thermodynamically using the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The data of work of breathing by the respiratory muscles of the patients during and after weaning from MV is adapted from the literature [2]. Calculations were done by applying the first and second laws of thermodynamics.…”

“…The use of MV varies significantly from short term to long term and from acute care in the hospital to extended care at home. One of the most common applications of MV is for the management of postoperative patients recovering from anesthesia and medications [1,2].…”
