multicenter observational trial in COVID-19 patients with ARDS utilizing electrical …

Rationale: Defining lung recruitability is needed for safe positive end-expiratory pressure
(PEEP) selection in mechanically ventilated patients. However, there is no simple bedside …

The traditional way to reverse hypoxemia in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is
the use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Ideally, PEEP is to be used to maximize …

Methods ARDS was defined according to the Berlin definition (1), and severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection was confirmed by positive …

OBJECTIVES: ICUs have had to deal with a large number of patients with acute respiratory
distress syndrome COVID-19, a significant number of whom received prone ventilation …

Background: Changing trunk inclination affects lung function in patients with ARDS.
However, its impacts on PEEP titration remain unknown. The primary aim of this study was to …

In ARDS, mechanical ventilation represents the milestone treatment to restore adequate gas
