Background: A mechanical ventilator is a device used to help with respiratory function. Its use is indicated for patients with hypoxemia, severe hypercapnia and respiratory failure. Mechanical ventilator is one of the important and widely used aspects for critical patient care in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods: This research was conducted with non-probability sampling techniques. Non-probability sampling techniques was determined by purposive method, which is to determine the criteria first, then the samples are taken according to predetermined criteria. Results: As much as 98 medical records taken from the Juwita Bekasi Hospital ICU from  2013-2017  showed  that 3 patients showed effective results for ventilator installation and 95 patients showed ineffective results. Conclusion: Based on medical record in Juwita Bekasi Hospital from 2013 to 2017, The mechanical ventilation installation was not effective and only has 1% effectivity.

Abstract Background Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) has been increasingly used in the management of respiratory failure in intensive care unit (ICU). Aim of the Work is to compare the efficacy and resource consumption of NIPPMV delivered through face mask against invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) delivered by endotracheal tube in the management of patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF). Patients and Methods This prospective randomized controlled study included 78 adults with acute respiratory failure who were admitted to the intensive care unit. The enrolled patients were randomly allocated to receive either noninvasive ventilation or conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV). Results Severity of illness, measured by the simplified acute physiologic score 3 (SAPS 3), were comparable between the two patient groups with no significant difference between them. Both study groups showed a comparable steady improvement in PaO2:FiO2 values, indicating that NIPPV is as effective as CMV in improving the oxygenation of patients with ARF. The PaCO2 and pH values gradually improved in both groups during the 48 hours of ventilation. 12 hours after ventilation, NIPPMV group showed significantly more improvement in PaCO2 and pH than the CMV group. The respiratory acidosis was corrected in the NIPPV group after 24 hours of ventilation compared with 36 hours in the CMV group. NIPPV in this study was associated with a lower frequency of complications than CMV, including ventilator acquired pneumonia (VAP), sepsis, renal failure, pulmonary embolism, and pancreatitis. However, only VAP showed a statistically significant difference. Patients who underwent NIPPV in this study had lower mortality, and lower ventilation time and length of ICU stay, compared with patients on CMV. Intubation was required for less than a third of patients who initially underwent NIV. Conclusion Based on our study findings, NIPPV appears to be a potentially effective and safe therapeutic modality for managing patients with ARF.

Objective and Rationale. Prone positioning of nonintubated patients has prevented intubation and mechanical ventilation in patients with respiratory failure from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A number of patients in a recently published cohort have undergone postextubation prone positioning (PEPP) following liberation from prolonged mechanical ventilation in attempt to prevent reintubation. The objective of this study is to systematically search the literature for reports of PEPP as well as describe the feasibility and outcomes of PEPP in patients with COVID-19 respiratory failure. Design. This is a retrospective case series describing the feasibility and tolerability of postextubation prone positioning (PEPP) and its impact on physiologic parameters in a tertiary intensive care unit during the COVID-19 pandemic. Setting and Patients. This study was conducted on patients with COVID-19 respiratory failure hospitalized in a tertiary Intensive Care Unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. Measurements and Results. We did not find prior reports of PEPP following prolonged intubation in the literature. Four patients underwent a total of 13 PEPP sessions following liberation from prolonged mechanical ventilation. Each patient underwent a median of 3 prone sessions (IQR: 2, 4.25) lasting a median of 1.5 hours (IQR: 1.2, 2.1). PEPP sessions were associated with a reduction in median oxygen requirements, patient respiratory rate, and reintubation rate. The sessions were well tolerated by patients, nursing, and the allied health team. Conclusions. The novel practice of PEPP after liberation from prolonged mechanical ventilation in patients with COVID-19 respiratory failure is feasible and well tolerated, and may be associated with favourable clinical outcomes including improvement in oxygenation and respiratory rate and a low rate of reintubation. Larger prospective studies of PEPP are warranted.

RATIONALE:The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of intensive care unit (ICU) admission in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) who develop acute respiratory failure of unknown etiology.METHODS:A retrospective study at University of Manitoba hospitals reviewed all patients admitted to the ICU from November 1988 to December 2000 with IPF requiring mechanical ventilation for unknown causes of acute respiratory failure. Survival at hospital discharge was assessed as the primary end point and ICU length of stay as a secondary end point. In the absence of open lung biopsy, major and minor clinical criteria (as per American Thoracic Society statements) were used for the diagnosis of IPF. Infections were ruled out by extensive surveillance cultures and/or bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage.RESULTS:Eighty-eight charts were reviewed and 25 patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean (± SD) age was 69±11 years (range 42 to 96 years) and 23 patients were male. With the exception of one survivor who was discharged home, 21 patients died while receiving mechanical ventilation, and three patients died in hospital shortly after ICU discharge (one day, 22 days and 67 days). Intubation and mechanical ventilation were administered to 21 patients, with a mean duration of 11±6 days (range two to 27 days); the other four patients were treated with noninvasive ventilation. The average duration of symptoms before ICU admission was 22±26 days. All patients were treated with systemic corticosteroids, while eight patients received additional chemotherapy.CONCLUSIONS:In the absence of a reversible cause, patients with IPF who develop acute exacerbation of IPF may not benefit from ICU admission and mechanical ventilation. However, it is imperative that a diagnostic workup be performed to rule out an infectious or other reversible cause of respiratory failure before admission to the ICU is denied.

Abstract: Traumatic brain injuries are still the leading cause of death and disability, and require care on Intensive Care Unit (ICU). A traumatic brain injury caused by mechanical mass from outside the body, leads to impaired cognitive and psychosocial function that can occur temporarily or permanently, and can cause loss of consciousness. This study aims to determine the profile of the patients with moderate and severe traumatic brain injuries treated in ICU and HCU, using retrospective descriptive study conducted in September to November 2016 in the Medical Record department of Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou, Manado. The sample size was determined by non-probability sampling method, a purposive sampling. Samples are ICU and HCU patients with the diagnosis of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury, who meet the inclusion criteria in the medical record of the data period September 2015 to August 2016. From the obtained sample of 40 patients, males dominate the gender category with 33 cases (83%). SIRS complications found in 23 cases (57.5%). Most patients are treated within 1–7 days, which also become the most patients who died within their length of stay. Patients who dies account for a total of 25 patients (62.5%) and most died after > 48 hours (72%) of treatment; out of the 25 deceased patients, 18 among them (45%) died from severe traumatic brain injury. Conclusion: The mortality rate is highest on severe head injury; most patients died after > 48 hours in the ICU and the HCU.Keywords: moderate traumatic brain injury, severe traumatic brain injury Abstrak: Cedera kepala masih merupakan penyebab utama kematian dan kecacatan, dan memerlukan perawatan Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Botulism is a rare but serious paralytic illness caused by botulinum toxin, which is produced by the Clostridium botulinum. This toxin is the most poisonous substance known. It 100 000 times more toxic than sarin gas. Eating or breathing this toxin causes illness in humans. Four distinct clinical forms are described: foodborne, wound, infant and intestinal botulism. The fifth form, inhalational botulism, is caused by aerosolised botulinum toxin that could be used as a biological weapon. A deliberate release may also involve contamination of food or water supplies with toxin or C. botulinum bacteria. By inhalation, the dose that would kill 50% of exposed persons (LD50) is 0.003 microgrammes/kg of body weight. Patients with respiratory failure must be admitted to an intensive care unit and require long-term mechanical ventilation. Trivalent equine antitoxins (A,B,E) must be given to patients as soon as possible after clinical diagnosis. Heptavalent human antitoxins (A-G) are available in certain countries.
