Brief Summary

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).

Detailed Description

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
