[RUSSIAN NATIONAL EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDY "RUVENT": THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL LUNG VENTILATION IN THE INTENSIVE THERAPY IN
The RuVent study found that mechanical ventilation practices in Russian pediatric ICUs align with international standards, though significant differences exist in prolonged cases compared to adults. Key reasons for ventilation include respiratory system pathologies and sepsis.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Critical Care Medicine
- Respiratory Physiology
- Epidemiology
Context:
- Prolonged mechanical ventilation is critical for critically ill children.
- Understanding current practices in pediatric intensive care units (ICUs) is essential for improving patient outcomes.
- The
- RuVent
- study addresses a gap in knowledge regarding pediatric mechanical ventilation in Russia.
Purpose:
- To investigate the real-world application of various modes and parameters for prolonged respiratory support in Russian pediatric ICUs.
- To compare pediatric mechanical ventilation practices in Russia with international standards.
Summary:
- The
- RuVent
- study analyzed data from 104 children across 29 ICUs in Russia and Ukraine, focusing on mechanical ventilation use.
- Respiratory system pathologies, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome and pneumonia, were primary indications for ventilation.
- Managed modes (SIMV, A/C, BIPAP) were preferred, with limited use of non-invasive support (1%).
- The incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia was 27.9%, and overall lethality was 20.7%.
Impact:
- Provides crucial epidemiological data on pediatric mechanical ventilation in Russia.
- Highlights potential areas for practice improvement and targeted interventions.
- Informs clinical decision-making and resource allocation in pediatric critical care.

Alveolar Surface Tension
The alveolar fluid lines the luminal surface of the alveoli and exerts a force called surface tension. This force is caused by the polar water molecules in the liquid being more strongly attracted to each...
