Effect of Ventilator Mode on Sleep Quality in Critically Ill Patients

Parthasarathy, Sairam, Tobin, Martin J.·2002·American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine

Abstract

To determine whether sleep quality is influenced by the mode of mechanical ventilation, we performed polysomnography on 11 critically ill patients. Because pressure support predisposes to central apneas in healthy subjects, we examined whether the presence of a backup rate on assist-control ventilation would decrease apnea-related arousals and improve sleep quality. Sleep fragmentation, measured as the number of arousals and awakenings, was greater during pressure support than during assist-control ventilation: 79 +/- 7 versus 54 +/- 7 events per hour (p = 0.02). Central apneas occurred during pressure support in six patients; heart failure was more common in these six patients than in the five patients without apneas: 83 versus 20% (p = 0.04). Among patients with central apneas, adding dead space decreased sleep fragmentation: 44 +/- 6 versus 83 +/- 12 arousals and awakenings per hour (p = 0.02). Changes in sleep-wakefulness state caused greater changes in breath components and end-tidal CO2 during pressure support than during assist-control ventilation. In conclusion, inspiratory assistance from pressure support causes hypocapnia, which combined with the lack of a backup rate and wakefulness drive can lead to central apneas and sleep fragmentation, especially in patients with heart failure.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
