An unusual cause of simultaneous bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax

Ventilator management for acute respiratory distress syndrome associated with avian influenza A (H7N9) virus infection: A case series

“…Alveolar recruitment, improvement in ventilation/perfusion matching from redistribution of ventilation to dorsal lung regions, elimination of the heart's compressive effects on the lungs, better drainage of respiratory secretions and reduction of parenchymal lung stress/strain are the physiologic mechanisms to explain the improvement in oxygenation. [28,29] The recent study on prone positioning have showed a significant improvement in 28-day and 90-day mortality. [10] Recently, two meta-analysis of randomized control trials on prone ventilation in adults found to signifi cantly reduce overall mortality in patients with ARDS in the low tidal volume era.…”
