The phrase "a decrease in ventilator" is not correct as it is incomplete and lacks context.
It could be used in a medical or technical context when discussing a reduction in the use or availability of ventilators.
Example: "The hospital reported a decrease in ventilator availability due to the surge in patients."
Alternatives: "a reduction in ventilators" or "a decline in ventilator use."
The positive effects of NMBs could be related to a decrease in ventilator induced lung injury, as suggested by the decreased incidence of barotrauma and pneumothoraces in the cisatracurium group [11].
Mitchell and colleagues [ 13] demonstrated a decrease in ventilator and ICU days in patients treated with fluid restriction and increased diuresis compared with a wedge pressure-guided fluid protocol.
The positive effects of NMBs could be related to a decrease in ventilator induced lung injury, as suggested by the decreased incidence of barotrauma and pneumothoraces in the cisatracurium group [ 11].
Only a small proportion of hospitals had established a sedation protocol in writing or a scoring system for the monitoring of analgesia and sedation, although numerous publications showed that the consistent use of these methods can lead to a decrease in ventilator time and length of ICU stay [ 29- 31].
A positive trend toward a decrease in ventilator-associated pneumonia rate was observed for the cases (20.2% versus 31%; P = 0.12; Table 3).
Our study did not determine the respective influence of a reduced VT or lower plateau pressure as both are independently associated with a decrease in ventilator-induced lung injury [ 32].
Indeed, even if we have successfully used patient-triggered assisted ventilation for more than 20 years and even if (compared with controlled ventilation) this allows a reduction in sedation needs [ 2] and a decrease in ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction [ 3], we still have not solved the problem of patients 'fighting' against their ventilators.
Triggering refers to the mechanism by which a patient's inspiratory effort initiates a response from the ventilator, through either a decrease in the ventilator circuit pressure (pressure trigger), or the presence of an inspiratory flow (flow trigger).
The results showed a decrease in mechanical ventilator days and ICU duration of stay in the negative pressure ventilation group as compared with the NIPPV group.
Although we did not directly evaluate the cost, in agreement with a previous study that evaluated a similar active HME (Humid-Heat) [ 8], the Performer should allow a reduction in daily sterile water consumption, avoidance of condensate in the ventilator circuit, a decrease in changes of ventilator circuits, and a reduction in nurses' workload.
Besides, in Finland a 57% of PCV-7 vaccine efficacy against vaccine type (VT) serotypes was found in AOM episodes and a 39% decrease in ventilator placement was reported [ 10].
