Objectives COVID-19 causes lung parenchymal and endothelial damage that lead to hypoxic acute respiratory failure (hARF). The influence of hARF severity on patients’ outcomes is still poorly ...
OBJETIVO: Comparar a PaO2 ideal com a encontrada, a PaO2 ideal/FiO2 ambiente com a encontrada e a FiO2 ideal e encontrada em idosos ventilados mecanicamente. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal, no qual foram ...
In a recent study investigating the effects of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) on reducing inspired oxygen concentration during one-lung ventilation (OLV), several key findings and outcomes were identified.
The following is a summary of “Clinical Performance of Spo 2 /Fio 2 and Pao 2 /Fio 2 Ratio in Mechanically Ventilated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients: A Retrospective Study,” published in ...
Lungpacer Medical, the award-winning medical device company founded by BPK professor Andy Hoffer in 2009 and spun out from the SFU Neurokinesiology Lab in 2014, achieved a key milestone on December 5, ...
Lung ultrasound is a developing and beneficial method for identifying compromised alveolar air and the presence of interstitial and alveolar fluid. It assesses lung aeration beyond the pleura and can ...
The following is a summary of “Prognostic value of PaO2/FiO2 ratio in predicting clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients,” published in the June 2024 issue of Critical Care by Canto-Costal et al.
The models use maximal deflection of esophageal pressure to quantify HFOT-related breathing effort (ΔPes) and the risk for strong breathing effort (ΔPes >10 cmH2O). Two models have been developed to ...
Clinical question: Do the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of glucocorticoids decrease mortality among patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)? Background: CAP remains a ...
