Ventilator Changes in Translating an Adult Ventilator Computer Protocol to Pediatric Critical Care

This files contains all ventilator changes made throughout the data collection period.
Study Description
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a strategy for ventilator management (ventilator management protocol) that was developed in adult intensive care units for patients with Acute Lung Injury (ALI) or Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The goal was to investigate the changes related to the size and scale of usual ventilator management practices and to determine acceptability of recommendations from a computer protocol for ventilator management. Results found that ventilator management varies substantially in children with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Analysis also showed that although acceptance rates for a computer protocol were good, there was little consensus regarding the size/scale of ventilator setting changes for children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome. Patients (age range 17 days to 18 years) with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome.

研究说明
本研究旨在评估一套针对成人重症监护病房中急性肺损伤（ALI）或急性呼吸窘迫综合征（ARDS）患者的呼吸机管理策略（ventilator management protocol）。本研究目标为探究常规呼吸机管理操作的幅度与规模相关的调整情况，并明确计算机辅助呼吸机管理规程所提建议的临床可接受度。
研究结果显示，急性呼吸窘迫综合征患儿的呼吸机管理实践存在显著差异。分析同时表明，尽管计算机辅助规程的接受度尚可，但针对儿童急性呼吸窘迫综合征患儿的呼吸机参数调整幅度，学界尚未形成统一共识。本研究的研究对象为年龄介于17天至18岁之间的急性肺损伤/急性呼吸窘迫综合征患者。
