Abstract
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is widely used in children. Only a few devices are life support ventilators. The pressure support (PSV) mode is the most common used mode for home NIV, while assist-control pressure ventilation (PAC) is usually used in patients with abnormal central drive. Patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA) is common during NIV and may have different causes, such as unintentional leaks, inadequate settings or misunderstanding of the settings. However, PVA may also be due to issues related to the NIV device, which is less common and is challenging. We report here the cases of 5 children with PVA due to trigger issues with a recent life support device.
期刊介绍:
Sleep Medicine aims to be a journal no one involved in clinical sleep medicine can do without.
A journal primarily focussing on the human aspects of sleep, integrating the various disciplines that are involved in sleep medicine: neurology, clinical neurophysiology, internal medicine (particularly pulmonology and cardiology), psychology, psychiatry, sleep technology, pediatrics, neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology, and dentistry.
The journal publishes the following types of articles: Reviews (also intended as a way to bridge the gap between basic sleep research and clinical relevance); Original Research Articles; Full-length articles; Brief communications; Controversies; Case reports; Letters to the Editor; Journal search and commentaries; Book reviews; Meeting announcements; Listing of relevant organisations plus web sites.
