"breathing effort" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it to describe the act of expending energy in order to take in air. For example: "The steep climb was a challenge, requiring considerable breathing effort."
Our pediatric focus group interviews during scale development differentiated the separate and distinguishable concepts of shortness of breath from increased breathing effort, prompting creation of the "breathing effort" sub-scale [2, 11].
Other warning signs are irregular breathing pattern, dyspnea (labored breathing effort), tachypnea (increased breath rate), and mottled skin.
Since the imposed WOB does not reflect the isovolumetric breathing effort, the pressure time product per breath was also calculated (data not included).
Maintaining the patient's own spontaneous breathing effort during ventilation is key.
Median ΔPtp and Ti ratio were significantly higher in patients with strong spontaneous breathing effort compared with those with weak breathing effort (24.3 vs. 13.4 cmH2O, P = 0.012, and 0.50 vs. 0.21, P = 0.008, respectively).
Spontaneous breathing effort was categorized as strong or weak and was analyzed with inspiratory waveform using VOXR data management software.
Objectives: We investigated the relationship between Ptp and ventilator waveform parameters according to the strength of spontaneous breathing effort.
Finally, improvements in pulmonary gas exchange, systemic blood flow and oxygen supply to tissues which have been observed when spontaneous breathing has been maintained during mechanical ventilation with clinical improvement in the patient's condition [ 15], are assumed to occur in NAVA, when breathing efforts by the patient and the initiated breaths are in synchrony.
He's making erratic breathing efforts, and looks ashen.
Asynchronies and spontaneous breathing efforts were not precisely and extensively recorded in ARDS patients.
They stated that this was consistent with the clinical improvement and less breathing efforts reported for both cases.
