7-day Fluid Balance Associated with Poor Outcomes
The net fluid balance in patients with sepsis 7 days following ICU administration was significantly related to mortality during hospitalization. Specifically, a 7-day fluid balance > 5,240 mL was associated with poor... read more
Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation: Theory, Equipment, and Clinical Applications
The new edition presents updates regarding new clinical applications of noninvasive mechanical ventilation and discusses recent technical advances in this field. The opening sections are devoted to theory, equipment, with... read more
Mechanical Ventilation in the ICU: A New Approach and Treatment
In the present book, a broad description of the processes carried out in patients with mechanical ventilation in the ICU is made. It covers from an overview of mechanical ventilation and some of its history to the processes... read more
Extubation Failure Risk Prediction Model Using Bedside Ultrasound
We have established a risk prediction model for extubation failure in mechanically ventilated ICU patients. This risk model base on bedside ultrasound parameters provides valuable insights for identifying high-risk patients... read more
Successful Treatment of Unilateral Pulmonary Edema as Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery Complication
We successfully treated this patient using ECMO and independent lung ventilation. Several cases have been described in the literature, but the pathogenesis and risk factors of UPE remain unclear. Management depends on... read more
Evaluation Effects of Nebulized Hypertonic Saline and Nebulized Corticosteroids in Patients with ARDS
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common clinical syndrome of acute respiratory failure as a result of diffuse lung inflammation and oedema manifested by hypoxemia and stiffness in the lungs. This study... read more
72‐h Infusion of Prostacyclin in Mechanically Ventilated Patients with Pulmonary Infection and Endotheliopathy
Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is common in critically ill patients, and 50% of patients in intensive care units require mechanical ventilation. The COVID‐19 pandemic revealed that COVID‐19 infection induced ARF... read more
Multidisciplinary Collaborative Bundled Care Improves Outcomes in ICU Patients with Endotracheal Intubation
Multidisciplinary analgesic and sedative bundled care has demonstrated the potential to decrease restraint use in patients undergoing endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation, reduce the need for analgesic and sedative... read more
Monitoring Mechanical Ventilation Using Ventilator Waveforms
This book discusses the interpretation of mechanical ventilator waveforms. Each page shows a screenshot from a real patient and explains one or two messages. It starts with basic information about the waveforms and goes... read more
Mechanical Ventilation in Patient with Respiratory Failure
This handbook covers the principles of mechanical ventilation, making them easy to understand and apply in clinical settings. Presented in an accessible style and supplemented by a wealth of illustrations and graphs, it includes... read more
Prediction of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation in the ICU via Machine Learning
Early recognition of risk factors for prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) could allow for early clinical interventions, prevention of secondary complications such as nosocomial infections, and effective triage of hospital... read more
Mechanical Ventilation Timing in Sepsis
A recent study by Dr. Kim and colleagues examined the association between the timing of mechanical ventilation (MV) and clinical outcomes in ICU patients with sepsis. The study included 2440 adult sepsis patients from... read more
Early Tracheostomy in Ventilated COVID-19 Patients Reduces VAP Incidence
Tracheostomy can reduce mechanical ventilation (MV) duration, ICU and hospital length of stay (LOS), and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) risk in critically ill patients. The timing of tracheostomy in COVID-19 patients... read more
Pitfalls in the Management of Mechanical Ventilation: ARDS and Hypermetabolic States
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a lifesaving intervention for patients with respiratory failure due to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and septic shock. ARDS was first recognized in the late 1960s, approximately... read more
Impacts of Initial ICU Driving Pressure on Outcomes in Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure
Driving pressure (DP) is a marker of severity of lung injury in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and has a strong association with outcome. However, it is uncertain whether limiting DP can reduce... read more
Predictors of Weaning Failure in Ventilated ICU Patients
Predictors for weaning failure are widely researched. To date, 145 predictors have been investigated with varying intensity in 140 studies that are in line with the current weaning definition. It is no longer just individual... read more
Extended Prone Position and 90-Day Mortality in Mechanically Ventilated Patients with COVID-19
Extended prone positioning (PP) was associated with improved 90-d survival in subjects with COVID-19 undergoing mechanical ventilation for severe ARDS. These findings suggest the potential benefit of EPP in the management... read more
Teaching Pearls in Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation
This book uses real-world clinical case analyses of hot topics to provide insights into noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV). Written by leading international teachers and experts, it features a selection of "major... read more
ARDS and Prone Positioning
Prone positioning has been a treatment option for acute respiratory distress syndrome in critically ill patients. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, awake prone positioning has been utilized as a treatment option for non-intubated... read more
Ventilator Management: A Pre-Hospital Perspective
The goal of this book is to provide the most up to date information on mechanical ventilation based on current research, evidence based practice and my experiences as a flight paramedic and educator. A comprehensive look... read more
Spontaneous Breathing Trials Should Be Adapted for Each Patient According To The Critical Illness
Unassisted SBTs, namely PSV0PEEP0 and T-piece trial, are the most appropriate to replicate the postextubation effort to breathe. In this multicentre randomized cross-over study, adult intensive care unit patients under... read more
Microbial Dynamics and Pulmonary Immune Responses in COVID-19 Secondary Bacterial Pneumonia
Secondary bacterial pneumonia (2°BP) is associated with significant morbidity following respiratory viral infection, yet remains incompletely understood. In a prospective cohort of 112 critically ill adults intubated... read more
