Alveolar hyperinflation in patients with focal ARDS ventilated with the ARDSnet protocol is attenuated by a physiologic approach to PEEP setting based on the stress index measurement.
Serial measurements of NT-proBNP plasma levels provided a noninvasive manner to detect acute cardiac dysfunction during an unsuccessful weaning trial in difficult to wean patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The utility of this test as a complement of the standard clinical monitoring of the weaning trial deserves further investigation.
In this model, the end-inspiratory transpulmonary open lung approach minimized the impact of chest wall stiffening on alveolar recruitment without causing hemodynamic impairment.
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.
