The study is a prospective experimental study on adult patients admitted to the Critical Care Department in Qasr Al-Ainy. This study is conducted prospectively to assess the efficiency of trigger sensitivity adjustment on patients with ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD).
The study is a prospective experimental study on adult patients admitted to the Critical Care Department in Qasr Al-Ainy. This study is conducted prospectively to assess the efficiency of trigger sensitivity adjustment on patients with ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD).1. Flow Trigger: This type of trigger responds to the gas flow during inspiration. A flow trigger measures the rate of change of flow as the patient begins to inhale. When the flow reaches a certain threshold, the ventilator is triggered to deliver a breath. 1. Laboratory investigations: Arterial blood gases (ABG):- (PH, PCO2, HCO3, and PO2) after the session. 2. Ventilator Parameters:( a) Minute Ventilation, b) Tidal Volume, c) Rapid Shallow breathing index, d) Negative Inspiratory Force (NIF) will be measured pre and post-treatment

All patients were investigated by routine investigation (vital signs, arterial blood gas, ventilator mode, and the parameters). Two sessions were implemented per day for the study group for one week. The Trigger sensitivity adjustment trial begins with applying a load of 30% of the first recorded Negative Inspiratory Force (NIF). 1. st Day 1st session, 30% 5 min. 2. nd session, 30% 10 min. 2nd Day 1st session, 30% 15 min 2nd session, 30% 20 min. 3rd Day 1st session, 30% 25 min. 2nd session, 30% 30 min. 4th Day 1st session, 40% 5 min. 2nd session, 40% 10 min. 5th Day 1st session 40% 15 min 2nd session 40% 20 min. 6th Day 1st session 40% 25 min. 2nd session 40% 30 min. 7th Day 1st session 50% 5 min. 2nd session 50% 10 min.
