Methods:In lung-injuredpigs(n = 6) and humancadavers(n = 3), Pes was measured across a range of positive end-expiratory pressure, together with directly measured Ppl in nondependent and dependent pleural regions. All measureme...
Oxygen therapy and intravenous antibiotics for ventilator-associated pneumonia were administered post weaning off ECMO. 3. Discussion Recent data suggest that severely dysregulated host immune responses to SAR-CoV-2, referred to as ‘cytokine storm’, may predominately mediate the morbidity and mortality...
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 ...
On hospital day 8, he developed profound hypoxemia, and a chest radiograph revealed progression in patchy opacities at both lungs (Fig. 1). He was intubated, and the mechanical ventilator was initially set on volume control ventilation (VCV), with a tidal volume (TV) of 6 mL/kg predicted...
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...
