Intracranial response to positive end-expiratory pressure is influenced by lung recruitability and gas distribution during mechanical ventilation in acute brain injury patients: a proof-of-concept physiological study [PDF]
Background The effect of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on intracranial pressure (ICP) dynamics in patients with acute brain injury (ABI) remains controversial. PEEP can benefit oxygenation by promoting alveolar recruitment, but its influence on

Radiological pattern in ARDS patients: partitioned respiratory mechanics, gas exchange and lung recruitability [PDF]
Background The ARDS is characterized by different degrees of impairment in oxygenation and distribution of the lung disease. Two radiological patterns have been described: a focal and a diffuse one.

Induction of severe hypoxemia and low lung recruitability for the evaluation of therapeutic ventilation strategies: a translational model of combined surfactant-depletion and ventilator-induced lung injury [PDF]
Background Models of hypoxemic lung injury caused by lavage-induced pulmonary surfactant depletion are prone to prompt recovery of blood oxygenation following recruitment maneuvers and have limited translational validity. We hypothesized that addition of

Monitoring lung recruitability during recruitment maneuvers in children with respiratory failure on ECMO using electrical impedance tomography: case report [PDF]
IntroductionCurrently, there are no clear guidelines regarding the use of recruitment maneuvers in pediatric patients with severe respiratory failure who are on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), nor is there consensus on how they should be ...

Regional Lung Recruitability During Pneumoperitoneum Depends on Chest Wall Elastance – A Mechanical and Computed Tomography Analysis in Rats [PDF]
Background: Laparoscopic surgery with pneumoperitoneum increases respiratory system elastance due to the augmented intra-abdominal pressure. We aim to evaluate to which extent positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is able to counteract abdominal ...

Physiology-guided personalized mechanical ventilation to prevent ventilator-induced lung injury [PDF]
Mechanical ventilation is essential for managing acute respiratory failure, yet it carries a significant risk of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Lung-protective ventilation, most notably through the use of low tidal volumes, has improved outcomes ...

Impact of PEEP on V/Q mismatch according to patient position and recruitability: a clinical prospective study [PDF]
Background: High positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may improve ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) mismatch in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients with high recruitability in supine position.

Characterizing heterogeneity and subphenotyping acute respiratory distress syndrome with computed tomography [PDF]
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome rather than a single disease. Patients who meet the same diagnostic criteria may differ in lung morphology, mechanical properties, biological injury, and clinical course ...
