A second-generation antipsychotic agent was successfully used to facilitate weaning in a very anxious patient, possibly secondary to anxiolysis or direct effect on respiratory drive. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

An 86-year-old man developed stridor and acute respiratory failure after being treated for a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation and a urinary tract infection that required mechanical ventilation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Extubation Obese patients are particularly at risk of post‐extubation stridor [ 29 ]. [ccforum.biomedcentral.com]

Difficulty weaning from mechanical ventilation CCC — Weaning from mechanical ventilation hot case CCC — Non-invasive ventilation for weaning CCC — Extubation assessment in ICU CCC — Extubation assessment hot case CCC — Cuff Leak Test CCC — Post-extubation stridor [lifeinthefastlane.com]

Additionally, NIPPV may be an effective intermediary therapy for children experiencing post-extubation de-recruitment or stridor/stertor. [academic.oup.com]

She had a history of febrile disease one month before, acute onset of paraplegia, diplopia, progressive arm weakness and dyspnea. Her consciousness was not impaired. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We report a 34-year-old male with Gorham syndrome presenting as progressive kyphosis, severe back pain, unstable gait, and exertional dyspnea. Pulmonary function testing revealed severe restrictive ventilatory impairment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This can manifest as pneumothorax, pneumoperitoneum, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum and can sometimes progress to bronchopleural fistula or tension pneumothorax. [clinicaladvisor.com]

In case of increase in airway resistance (bronchospasm, obstructed tube) or decrease in compliance of the respiratory system (obesity, atelectasis, selective intubation, surgical pneumoperitoneum, pneumothorax …), the tidal volume decreases, leading to [ccforum.biomedcentral.com]

A subset of patients with ARDS has mixed hypercapnia and hypoxemia despite high-level ventilator support. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Hypercapnia and hypoxemia may coexist, although some disorders may affect gas exchange differentially. HYPERCAPNIA Hypercapnia usually is caused by hypoventilation or severe ventilation-perfusion mismatch. [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]

Permissive Hypercapnia Permissive Hypercapnia in ARDS This single-minded focus on reducing plateau pressures derives from the likely survival benefit from low tidal volume ventilation and low plateau pressures observed in clinical trials (or if you prefer [pulmccm.org]

Microorganisms implicated in VAP that occurs in the first 48 hours after intubation are flora of the upper airway, including Haemophilus influenza and Streptococcus pneumonia. [emedicine.com]
