Objective: To evaluate the daily changes of the area of density using transesophageal
echocardiography (TEE) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute lung …

Little is known about the small airways dysfunction in acute respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS). By computed tomography (CT) imaging in a porcine experimental model of early …

The acute respiratory distress (ARDS) lung is usually characterized by a high degree of
inhomogeneity. Indeed, the same lung may show a wide spectrum of aeration alterations …

Objective To assess the acute effect of a lung recruitment maneuver (LRM) on lung
morphology in patients with acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome …

To investigate the mechanisms underlying improvement of arterial oxygenation during a
protective ventilatory strategy (PVS) in early acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), we …

Objective: We measured pulmonary edema by thermal indocyanine green-dye double-
dilution technique and quantitative computed tomography (CT) in patients with acute …

Objective: It is commonly assumed that lung volume at zero end-expiratory pressure
(functional residual capacity) is not affected by positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) …

Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with vascular
endothelial dysfunction. The resultant microvascular reactivity can be assessed non …

Objectives: Lung ultrasound is commonly used to evaluate lung morphology in patients with
acute respiratory distress syndrome. Aim of this study was to determine lung ultrasound …

Introduction The benefits of higher positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in patients with
acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have been modest, but few studies have fully …
