Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has forced some reflections to be had surrounding the ventilatory support to be applied to certain types of patients. The model of two phenotypes, set out by Professor Gattinoni and colleagues, suggests that adequate monitoring of respiratory effort may play a key role in the treatment of respiratory failure due to COVID-19. An insufficient control of the patient’s respiratory efforts could lead to an aggravation of lung damage, mainly due to the possibility of generating Patient Self-Inflicted Lung Injury (PSILI) with a consequent aggravation of the pathological picture. Nevertheless, effectively monitoring the patient’s respiratory work, especially in nonintensive settings, is not easy. This article briefly describes some methods that allow the assessment of respiratory effort, such as the use of ultrasound and respiratory tests, which can be performed in nonintensive settings.
