Summary Introduction Pulmonary artery catheters are used widely in cardiac surgery despite observed associations with worse outcomes and guidelines that recommend against their routine use. No adequately powered randomised trials are available. Methods The PUMA Pilot was a multicentre, randomised, parallel assignment, open‐label, pilot and feasibility ...

Development of a compact stand-alone esophageal pressure measurement device
Mechanical ventilation requires optimal parameter setting for every single patient. For instance sufficient positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may ensure oxygenation and prevent overdistension of lungs or alveolar collapse.

A soap‐film inspired strategy enables the fabrication of ultrathin yet robust GelMA‐PAAm membranes for breathing lung culture. The hydrogel membrane supports long‐term cyclic deformation under air‐liquid interface conditions, enabling physiologically relevant breathing motions of engineered lung tissue culture. ABSTRACT Breathing continuously stretches

ABSTRACT Background Predicted heart mass (PHM) is widely used for donor–recipient size matching in heart transplantation, yet its relevance to early graft performance in the modern allocation era remains uncertain. Emerging data suggest that left and right ventricular mismatch may exert distinct physiologic effects that are obscured by total PHM ...

Field‐applicable low‐intensity exercise induces bronchodilation in horses with severe asthma
Abstract Background Airway dysfunction in severe equine asthma (SEA) often results in early retirement or euthanasia of affected horses. Exercise‐induced bronchodilation occurs in horses with SEA after intense treadmill exercise, but the effects of a lighter, field‐applicable, training regimen remain largely unexplored.

ABSTRACT Background Hybrid stage I palliation (HS1P) has developed as an alternative to the Norwood stage I palliation for neonates with hypoplastic left heart and related left‐sided obstructive lesions. HS1P is currently used in various clinical settings, such as single ventricle palliation, bridge to decision, bridge to biventricular repair, or ...

Patients in intensive care units often experience lung injuries, complicated by brain problems. Advanced laboratory tools, organoids, and organs‐on‐chips facilitated the study of multiorgan interactions, help us understand the communication between the lungs and brain.

Transpulmonary thermodilution: advantages and limits
Background For complex patients in the intensive care unit or in the operating room, many questions regarding their haemodynamic management cannot be answered with simple clinical examination.

ABSTRACT Background Hemodynamic management after out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is critical, yet the impact of vasopressor‐driven mean arterial pressure (MAP) targets on pulmonary circulation and right ventricular (RV) function remains unclear.

Impact of large volume paracentesis on respiratory parameters including transpulmonary pressure and on transpulmonary thermodilution derived hemodynamics: A prospective study. [PDF]
Appropriate mechanical ventilation and prevention of alveolar collaps is mainly dependent on transpulmonary pressure TPP. TPP is assessed by measurement of esophageal pressure EP, largely influenced by pleural and intraabdominal pressure IAP ...
