Mechanical ventilation causes diaphragm dysfunction in newborn lambs
2019
Background
Diaphragm weakness occurs rapidly in adult animals treated with mechanical ventilation (MV), but the effects of MV on the neonatal diaphragm have not been determined. Furthermore, it is unknown whether co-existent lung disease exacerbates ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). We investigated the impact of MV (mean duration = 7.65 h), either with or without co-existent respiratory failure caused by surfactant deficiency, on the development of VIDD in newborn lambs.
