COVID-19 Airway Management and Ventilation Strategy for Critically Ill Older Patients
This book describes the issues and challenges that clinicians encountered in the management of older critically ill patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, and offers practical information on how to manage them. Older... read more
Critical Hypertension in Trauma Patients Following Prehospital Emergency Anesthesia
Delivery of prehospital emergency anesthesia (PHEA) to seriously injured trauma patients risks hemodynamic fluctuation. In adult trauma patients undergoing PHEA, 11.9% of patients experienced post-PHEA critical hypertension.... read more
Intravenous Vitamin C for COVID-19 Patients
In hospitalized patients with COVID-19, vitamin C had low probability of improving the primary composite outcome of organ support–free days and hospital survival. Enrollment was terminated after statistical triggers... read more
Effect of Mechanical Ventilation Under Intubation on Respiratory Tract Change of Bacterial Count
Mechanical ventilation under intubation may cause dysregulation of lower respiratory microbiota in rats. The most common 'second strike' in mechanically ventilated patients is a pulmonary infection caused by the ease with... read more
Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange vs. Conventional Facemask Breathing for Preoxygenation During Rapid Sequence Induction
Transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE), if used for pre-oxygenation and apnoeic oxygenation, has the propensity to extend the safe apnoea time and thereby decrease the incidence of desaturation... read more
Reducing Mortality in Critically Ill Patients
This book describes the techniques, strategies, and drugs that have been demonstrated by multicenter randomized trials to influence survival in critically ill patients, defined as those who have acute failure of at least... read more
1-year Survival Rate of COVID-19 Infected Patients with ARDS Based on Ventilator Types
The study revealed that the utilization of non-ICU sophisticated ventilators was linked to a higher mortality rate when compared to standard ICU ventilators in COVID-19 patients with ARDS. However, given the shortage and... read more

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
Ciprofol Sedation Efficacy and Safety in Mechanical Ventilated ICU Patients
Ciprofol was well tolerated, with a noninferior sedation profile to propofol in Chinese ICU patients undergoing MV for a period of 6–24 hours. Of the 135 patients enrolled, 129 completed the study. The primary endpoint-sedation... read more
Prone vs. Supine Position Ventilation in Intubated COVID-19 Patients
Whether prone positioning of patients undergoing mechanical ventilation for COVID-19 pneumonia has benefits over supine positioning is not clear. We conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis to determine whether prone... read more

Intubating critically ill patients is a process that requires a well-thought-out, step-by-step plan, specific to each patient. This book teaches the steps necessary to predict, prepare, perform, and provide pre and post-intubation... read more
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Advances in Diagnostic Tools and Disease Management
Divided into thirteen chapters, this book provides a wealth of research-oriented findings and practical guidance, ranging from the definition, epidemiology and pathophysiology, to the diagnosis and management of the disease.... read more
Mechanical Ventilation from Pathophysiology to Clinical Evidence
This new book aims to give a comprehensive overview of the current challenges and solution posed to the health care professionals who need to use mechanical ventilation to treat their patients. Mechanical ventilation is... read more
Emergency Department Crowding Impact on Lung Protective Ventilation
Obtaining definitive control of the airway, when indicated, is the responsibility of the emergency medicine physician. Traditionally patients were managed on the ventilator with lung volumes of 10 – 15 ml/kg. However,... read more
