Sep 23rd, 2021 - This review describes the management of mechanical ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, including in those with coronavirus disease 2019. Low tidal volume ventilation with a moderate to high positive end-expiratory pre...

Aug 13th, 2021 - Mechanical ventilatory is a crucial element of acute brain injured patients' management. The ventilatory goals to ensure lung protection during acute respiratory failure may not be adequate in case of concomitant brain injury. Therefore, there are...

Jun 16th, 2021 - Current risk-adjusted models for donor lung use and lung graft survival do not include donor critical care data. We sought to identify modifiable donor physiologic and mechanical ventilation parameters that predict donor lung use and lung graft su...

Apr 27th, 2021 - The aim of this review was to describe the risk factors for developing diaphragm dysfunction, discuss the monitoring techniques for diaphragm activity and function, and introduce potential strategies to incorporate diaphragm protection into conven...

Mar 18th, 2021 - To describe the changes in ventilator management over time in patients with neurologic disease at ICU admission and to estimate factors associated with 28-day hospital mortality. Secondary analysis of three prospective, observational, multicenter ...

Apr 9th, 2019 - Since the landmark ARMA trial, use of low tidal volume ventilation (LTVV) at 6 mL/kg predicted body weight (PBW) has become our gold standard for ventilator management in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (Brower RG, et al. N Engl J Med.

Mar 13th, 2014 - Introduction In an article published in January in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine,[1] Cressoni and colleagues explore 2 complex phenomena: (1) the distribution of localized damage to the lung in acute respiratory di...

Sep 24th, 2009 - September 24, 2009 — Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) vs conventional ventilator management may improve the odds of survival without disability for patients with severe acute respiratory failure, according to the results of a UK-based, m...

Nov 26th, 2003 - Nov. 26, 2003 — The use of inhaled nitric oxide (NO) decreases the incidence of chronic lung disease and death in premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome, according to the results of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled stud...

Summary This review suggests that much progress remains to be made in optimizing mechanical ventilation. The astute clinician will carefully consider the patient's clinical features, physiological status, and response to ventilatory support to det...
