Besides, an unexpected form of bad interaction was observed, with the high prevalence of low ventilatory drive.
Eighteen patients had a very low ventilatory drive (peak Edi < 2 µV on average), which prevented the calculation of PVA.
Tissue hypoperfusion (and not just acidaemia per se) is an important component that triggers an enhanced ventilatory drive.
The syndrome includes in variable proportion impaired diaphragmatic weakness, decreased central ventilatory drive and nearly systematically occurrence of sleep apnea.
Patient ventilator interaction is poor in children supported by conventional ventilation, with a high frequency of depressed ventilatory drive and a large proportion of time spent in asynchrony.
Eighteen patients had a very low ventilatory drive (i.e., peak Edi < 2 µV on average), which prevented the calculation of patient ventilator asynchrony.
We may hypothesize that the patients ventilated in PSV have a stronger ventilatory drive, leading to a better detection of the breathing efforts by the ventilator [5].
We previously reported that the ventilatory drive increased in these patients after the extubation, so the central or peripheral neurological explanation seems unlikely [31].
These results suggest that the mechanism of the improvement of dyspnea by inhaling furosemide is not associated with the decrease in the ventilatory drive to CO2.
Unstable ventilatory control is characterised by high loop gain (LG), and likely contributes to cyclical airway obstruction by promoting airway collapse during periods of low ventilatory drive.
But the magnitude of PVA and the prevalence of low ventilatory drive warrant further studies to assess whether strategies to optimize patient ventilator interactions can improve the outcome of PICU patients.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
