Adaptive mechanical ventilation with automated minimization of inspiratory power may lead to more lung-protective ventilator settings when compared with adaptive mechanical ventilation according to Otis’ equation. Comparing... Read More
This book offers an essential guide to managing the most-debated hot topics of practical interest in anesthesia and intensive care. It reviews the state of the art in issues concerning both intensive care medicine and anesthesia,... Read More
Reducing the practical burden of cognitive recovery following critical illness depends crucially on understanding the links between brain injury and lung injury. New deficits in learning and memory, and new development of... Read More
This book covers all clinical aspects of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), from definition to treatment, focusing on the more recent recommendations and evidence-based medicine. The addressed topics are the various... Read More
Enrichment reduces heterogeneity and will enhance the sensitivity of future trials. However, enrichment, even when it identifies more homogenous populations, may not be efficient to deploy in trials or clinical practice.... Read More
Since 1980, Fishman’s Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders has delivered unparalleled coverage of pulmonary medicine and the underlying basic and applied science upon which clinical practice is based. The Fifth Edition,... Read More
Critical care transport of prone acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients is a feasible and cost-effective intervention that will help prevent treatment delays and interruptions. A nonphysician critical care transport... Read More
Dr. Alpha A. Fowler of Virginia Commonwealth University presented findings from the CITRIS-ALI trial that studied the role of vitamin C in patients with septic ARDS. The findings were presented @ESICM in Berlin and have just... Read More
This book is a practical and easily understandable guide for mechanical ventilation. With a focus on the basics, this text begins with a detailed account of the mechanisms of spontaneous breathing as a reference point to... Read More
This well-illustrated book provides detailed guidance on all aspects of physical examination in patients requiring emergency or intensive care. After an introductory section covering basic principles and the recognition of... Read More
TEE accurately predicts invasive PAOP ≤ 18 mmHg in ventilated patients. This further increases its diagnostic value in patients with suspected acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome. During two consecutive... Read More
This is the first study to demonstrate that the active form of GSDM-D is found exclusively in the circulation of septic critically ill patients raising its potential as an agent of dysregulated immunity in systemic infection.... Read More
In this preliminary study of patients with sepsis and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a 96-hour infusion of vitamin C compared with placebo did not significantly improve organ dysfunction scores or alter markers... Read More
In patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), plateau pressure, driving pressure, and respiratory system compliance can be measured during assisted ventilation, and both higher driving pressure and lower compliance... Read More
