Application of pressure support ventilation on cervical spinal cord injured patients / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@#ObjectiveTo summarize the application of pressure support ventilation (PSV) on cervical spinal cord injured patients with respiratory dysfunction.MethodSixteen patients were studied.Respiratory rate (RR),tidal volume (VT), minute ventilation (VE),peak inspiration pressure (PIP), dynamic lung conpliance (Cdyn), blood pH value, PaO2 and PaCO2 were measured under the different pressure levels of PSV. ResultAll parameters correlated with the level of PSV. Conclusion Appropriate PSV levels can make the respiratory parameters close to the reasonable level and respiratory functional status for the cervical cord injured patients with respiratory dysfunction.
