Stepwise PEEP recruitment maneuvers can open collapsed ARDS lungs. Higher levels of PEEP are necessary to maintain the lungs open and assure homogenous ventilation in ARDS. In the near future, thoracic CT associated with high-performance monitoring of regional ventilation (electrical impedance tomography) may be used at the bedside to determine the optimal mechanical ventilation of ARDS patients.
A poliangeíte microscópica, a arterite de Takayasu, a síndrome de Behçet, a púrpura de Henoch-Schönlein e as vasculites associadas às doenças do colágeno incluem-se entre as vasculites pulmonares. Seu diagnóstico é realizado associando-se as manifestações clínicas aos achados radiológicos e anatomopatológicos.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
