Oxygenation Indices and Early Prediction of Outcome in Hypoxemic Patients with COVID-19 Pneumonia Requiring NIV Respiratory Support in Pulmonary Intermediate Care Unit
Oxygenation indices (OI) showed different effectiveness in predicting NIRT failure within 24 h of treatment in COVID-19 related pneumonia. This may be due to the multi-factorial pathophysiology of hypoxemia. Our study... 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
How I Perform Diaphragmatic Ultrasound in the ICU
The diaphragm is a thin, dome-shaped muscle, comprising a costal and crural part, and a non-contracting central tendon. Muscle fiber activation shortens and thickens the diaphragm in the zone of apposition, moving the dome... read more
Blood Eosinophils Matter in Post-COVID-19 Pneumonia
Preliminary results showed that a eosinophil increase during hospitalization could be a potential predictor of pulmonary sequelae in surviving patients after COVID-19 pneumonia. Despite the protective role of eosinophils,... read more
Oxygen Therapy and Noninvasive Respiratory Supports in Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure
Whereas oxygen supplementation should be initiated for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure defined as PaO2 below 60 mm Hg or SpO2 ... read more
Optimizing Oxygenation For Tracheal Intubation in Critically Ill Patients
Tracheal intubation (TI) is a common procedure frequently performed in critically ill patients and is an integral part of emergency airway management (EAM). However, it carries inherent risks and can significantly impact... read more
Non-invasive vs. Arterial Pressure Monitoring in the Pre-hospital Critical Care Environment
Non-invasive blood pressure measurements are often inaccurate within the pre-hospital critical care setting, particularly in patients with hemodynamic instability which are the group in which the accuracy of vital signs is... read more
Tracheal Intubation in Critically Ill Adults with a Physiologically Difficult Airway
Using a Delphi method, agreement among a panel of international experts was reached for 53 statements providing guidance to clinicians worldwide on safe tracheal intubation practices in patients with a physiologically difficult... read more
High-flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen vs. NIV in AHF-related ARF
In this pilot study, we did not observe a statistically significant difference in changes in respiratory rate among patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) due to acute heart failure (AHF) and managed with high-flow... read more
Noninvasive Ventilation for Preoxygenation during Emergency Intubation
Among critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation, preoxygenation with noninvasive ventilation resulted in a lower incidence of hypoxemia during intubation than preoxygenation with an oxygen mask. Among the 1,301... read more
Two weaning strategies for NIV in COPD patients with ARF
Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) is a crucial therapy for managing acute exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) with hypercapnic respiratory failure. Research has shown that NIV can decrease the rate... read more
Tezepelumab in a case of severe asthma exacerbation and influenza-pneumonia on VV-ECMO
We present a case of 43-year-old male patient with broadly by Omalizumab, Mepolizumab and Benralizumab pretreated allergic asthma, who suffered a near fatal exacerbation, triggered by an influenza A infection. Due to... read more
HFNC vs. CPAP in COVID-19 Patients with ARDS in ICU
Acute hypoxic respiratory failure in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia has been treated with oxygen delivered by oxygen masks and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP),... read more
Noninvasive Ventilation in Sleep Medicine and Pulmonary Critical Care
This book is an introduction to a comprehensive analysis of recent advances and clinical research in noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) in Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine. The objective of the book is to... read more
ReddyPort Non-Invasive Ventilation Device Cleared By FDA
ReddyPort announced today that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted 510(k) premarket clearance for the ReddyPort elbow device used in non-invasive ventilation (NIV). "ReddyPort's patented elbow is central... read more
COVID-19 in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients
Solid Organ Transplant (SOT) recipients are at high risk of severe coronavirus disease-2019. Prior to the availability of vaccination, passive immunotherapies and effective antiviral therapeutics, the outcomes of COVID-19... read more
Dexmedetomidine, Almost As Many Uses As There Are Letters
There is literature to support the use of dexmedetomidine in patients with sympathomimetic toxidrome. It may be a reasonable approach to utilize Dex, with or without a bolus, while closely monitoring these patients in an... read more
