The implausibility of ‘usual care’ in an open system: sedation and weaning practices in Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) in the United Kingdom (UK) [PDF]

, 2015
Background: The power of the randomised controlled trial depends upon its capacity to operate in a closed system whereby the intervention is the only causal force acting upon the experimental group and absent in the control group, permitting a valid ...

Extracorporeal support for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. [PDF]

, 2014
Extracorporeal membrane oxygen (ECMO) has been used for many years in patients with life-threatening hypoxaemia and/or hypercarbia. While early trials demonstrated that it was associated with poor outcomes and extensive haemorrhage, the technique has ...

Mechanical power in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome: a PARDIE study

Critical Care, 2022
Background Mechanical power is a composite variable for energy transmitted to the respiratory system over time that may better capture risk for ventilator-induced lung injury than individual ventilator management components.

Prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia in intensive care units: an international online survey [PDF]

, 2013
Background: On average 7% of patients admitted to intensive-care units (ICUs) suffer from a potentially preventable ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Our objective was to survey attitudes and practices of ICUs doctors in the field of VAP prevention.

Nicotinamide exacerbates hypoxemia in ventilator-induced lung injury independent of neutrophil infiltration. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
BACKGROUND:Ventilator-induced lung injury is a form of acute lung injury that develops in critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation and has a high degree of mortality. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase is an enzyme that is highly upregulated
