Ventilatory failure and autonomic dysfunction are the major complications of Landry-GuillainBarre´ syndrome. Monitoring vital capacity, inspiratory force, heart rate, and blood pressure are keys to following up with patients. 70. Close monitoring of respiratory function using measurements of vital capacity and inspiratory force is required in patients in myasthenic crises.
Alterations in the shape of the capnogram in an intubated, ventilated patient often provide clues to alterations in pulmonary pathology and malfunction of ventilation equipment. For example, a staircase pattern in phase II may indicate sequential emptying of the lung, which may occur in main stem partial bronchial obstruction. An upward sloping plateau in phase III is a classic indication of late emptying of poorly ventilated alveolar spaces with elevated PCO2, which may occur with expiratory obstruction at the level of smaller airways, as seen in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchospasm, and other forms of ventilation perfusion mismatching.
Survival from a VF arrest decreases by 7% to 10% for each minute of delay. Defibrillation at the earliest possible moment is vital in facilitating a successful resuscitation.
