Haemodynamic impact of positive end-expiratory pressure in SARS-CoV-2 acute respiratory distress syndrome: oxygenation versus oxygen delivery

The relationship between changes in cardiac output and intrapulmonary shunt associated with mechanical ventilation was evaluated in 20 patients with the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The distribution of ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) ratios and the level of intrapulmonary shunt was deter …

The effect of changing cardiac output on intrapulmonary shunt was studied in the setting of hemorrhagic pulmonary edema induced by intravenous oleic acid in 17 alpha-chloralose-anesthetized dogs. The dogs were mechanically ventilated and cardiac output was alternately depressed and augmented using e …

Intravenous milrinone for CVS treatment seems associated with significant impact on systemic hemodynamics leading sometimes to treatment discontinuation.

This multicenter study uses reinforcement learning to examine the treatment implications of a vasopressin initiation rule developed to improve short-term and hospital outcomes in critically ill adults...

In patients with acute brain injury (ABI), optimizing cerebral perfusion parameters relies on multimodal monitoring. This include data from systemic monitoring–mean arterial pressure (MAP), arterial c...

Accurate assessment of a patient’s volume status is crucial in many conditions, informing decisions on fluid prescribing, vasoactive agents, and decongestive therapies. Determining a patient’s volume ...

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an emerging technology for the non-invasive monitoring of regional distribution of ventilation and perfusion, offering real-time and continuous data that can g...

The effect of a liberal red-cell transfusion strategy as compared with a restrictive strategy in patients during the critical care period after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is unclear. We ...

antibiotic therapy initiation when VRI is suspected. METHODS: This retrospective, single-center cohort study included patients admitted to the intensive care unit after EVD placement who were suspe...

e collected data on 761 patients with aSAH from 4 different hospitals. The HATCH score for prediction of functional outcome was validated using calibration and discrimination analysis (area under the ...

Subacute and chronic subdural hematomas are common and frequently recur after surgical evacuation. The effect of adjunctive middle meningeal artery embolization on the risk of reoperation remains u...
