While extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an effective method of oxygenation
for patients with respiratory failure, further refinement of its incorporation into airway …

Introduction: Mechanical ventilation is required to support respiratory function in the acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but it may promote lung damage, a phenomenon …

Background: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been studied as an indicator of
systemic inflammation and as a prognostic tool in multiple areas of medicine. Previous …

Despite the use of lung protective ventilation (LPV) strategies, a severe form of acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is unfortunately associated with high mortality rates …

Background and Objectives: Acute hematologic malignancies are a group of heterogeneous
blood diseases with a high mortality rate, mostly due to acute respiratory failure (ARF). Acute …

Bleeding remains a major source of morbidity associated with veno-venous extracorporeal
membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). Moreover, there remains significant controversy, and a …

Mechanical power (MP) represents a useful parameter to describe and quantify the forces
applied to the lungs during mechanical ventilation (MV). In this multi-center, prospective …

Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) has become an important
support modality for patients with acute respiratory failure refractory to optimal medical …

Refractory hypoxemia during veno-venous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
(ECMO) may require an additional cannula (VV-V ECMO) to improve oxygenation. This …

Despite advances in medical technology, the mortality rate for severe acute respiratory
distress syndrome (ARDS) remains high at around 40%[1]. In recent years, multiple studies …
