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 ...

Anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left lower lung lobe: A case report

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
BackgroundAn anomalous systemic arterial supply to the lung lobes is a rare congenital pulmonary vascular malformation. Current treatments include thoracoscopic lobectomy, anatomical segmentectomy, simple ligation and arterial embolization.

Dual effects of leptin in perioperative gas exchange of morbidly obese patients [PDF]

, 2018
Leptin has shown positive effects on respiratory function in experimental settings. The role of leptin on perioperative respiratory function in morbidly obese patients has not been established.

Early stage nonclinical pulmonary disorder in COVID-19 may present asymptomatic and fuel the contagion

Military Medical Research, 2021
Evidence shows that pulmonary problems in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may set off from vascular injury that progresses to physiological disturbances through a compromised gas exchange, following an infection with the severe acute respiratory ...

HIF1A reduces acute lung injury by optimizing carbohydrate metabolism in the alveolar epithelium [PDF]

, 2013
Background: While acute lung injury (ALI) contributes significantly to critical illness, it resolves spontaneously in many instances. The majority of patients experiencing ALI require mechanical ventilation.

Pulmonary shunt in critical care: a practical approach with clinical scenarios

Journal of Anesthesia, Analgesia and Critical Care
Background Pulmonary shunt refers to the passage of venous blood into the arterial blood system bypassing the alveoli-blood gas exchange. Pulmonary shunt is defined by a drop in the physiologic coupling of lung ventilation and lung perfusion.

Strategies for Loading and Releasing Peptide Therapeutics in Biodegradable Carriers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A biodegradable carrier‐based peptide delivery system is a powerful treatment platform for diverse diseases, owing to its superior therapeutic efficacy and low toxicity. This review examines the conventional peptide‐loaded carrier fabrication process and its current limitations.

PULMONARY GAS EXCHANGE DURING DELIBERATE HYPOTENSION [PDF]

British Journal of Anaesthesia, 1963
Respiratory physiological deadspace may increase from 35 per cent of the tidal volume in the normal anaesthetized, normotensive and supine patient to as much as 80 per cent in the hypotensive patient in the head-up tilt. Increased mean airway pressure, hypotension, sudden head-up tilt or maintenance of tilt, all tend to increase the respiratory ...

Receptor‐Free Identification of Toxic Gases Enabled by Hygroscopic Aqueous Salt Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Water as a gas sensor coating sounds impossible—until it stops evaporating. Here, hygroscopic salt solutions (LiCl, LiBr, H3PO4) form non‐drying aqueous films on CNT chemiresistors under ambient air. Gases partition into these liquid layers, sometimes transforming into water, and generate salt‐specific resistance fingerprints across a four‐channel ...
