To describe ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) recurrence in COVID-19 patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support, and to evaluate the impact of antimicrobial treatment duration of the first VAP episode on VAP recurrence. Adu
Ventilator. Defibrillator. Data recording system. Compendium of drugs and fluids which can be used to treat the 'virtual' patient. Series of VV and VA ECMO tutorials. 'Scenario' database which can be used to provide a large variety of relevant clinical data to the trainee. ...
In some instances, especially if V-V ECMO is required for lung failure, it may lead to Tracheostomy insertion and a long-term stay in Intensive Care with ventilator dependency. Your critically ill loved one therefore may go through a prolonged suffering in Intensive Care, leading to depression,...

There has been some progress in the management of severe lung injury and ARDS in the past two decades, including important clinical trials such as the ARDSNET trial, investigating ventilator management techniques associated with improved outcomes in ARDS patients [7]. Among key findings of the most...
ECMO is employed in a variety of situations, including poisoning, trauma, and infections such as H1N1, pre and post-transplant patients and most recently, COVID -19. We have demonstrated that ECMO was very effective in patients who were unable to be treated with conventional ...
The VO2 and VCO2 values from the ventilator and oxygenator were added together and placed in the Weir equation to calculate the resting energy expenditure (REE) in kcal/day. Measurements were obtained 1 day after ECMO cannulation and 1 day prior to and one day post-decannulation. Data ...
calibration, expiratory Pl derived from Pes reflects Pl in dependent to middle lung, where atelectasis usually predominates; inspiratory Pl estimated from elastance ratio may indicate the highest level of lung stress in nondependent “baby” ...
The mechanical ventilator setting was pressure control (PC) mode with FiO2 0.65, positive end-expiratory pres- sure (PEEP) 15 cmH2O, peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) 30 cmH2O, and respiratory rate (RR) 15/min (PaO2 96.0 mmHg and PaCO2 48.4 mmHg). On the 6th day of ...
