Objective To characterize respiratory function and treatment in dogs with findings compatible
with those of human adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and to evaluate the …

Purpose The main problem of one-lung ventilation (OLV) is hypoxemia. The use of a high
tidal volume for preventing hypoxemia during OLV is controversial. We compared the effects …

OBJECTIVE: Animal models suggest that high-frequency ventilation with low tidal volumes
and high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) minimize secondary injury to the lung. We …

We measured the tidal volumes and peak inflation pressures generated during manual
hyperventilation for chest physiotherapy in 25 adult ventilated patients. The average tidal …

The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious and complex clinical problem
that often threatens the lives of patients. Emerging clinical data suggest that the survival of …

The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical syndrome with primarily
supportive management options. Despite extensive basic and clinical investigations …

The passage of 30 years since the initial description of the acute respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS) has brought substantial insight into its epidemiology and …

Severe acute lung injury, also known as the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), is a
dynamic and explosive clinical syndrome which exacts a mortality of approximately 50 …

The evolution of intensive care has given rise to a unique challenge in medical taxonomy—
to describe and characterize the course of diseases that have no biologic precedent …

Protective ventilation strategies have been universally embraced because of reduced
mortality. We tested the hypothesis that tidal volume (VT) in an in vivo model of mechanical …
