diagnostic, monitoring, and investigative purposes in acute respiratory distress syndrome …

Background Morbid obesity predisposes patients to lung collapse and hypoxemia during
induction of anesthesia. The aim of this prospective study was to determine whether …

Background In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), non-ventilated perfused regions
coexist with non-perfused ventilated regions within lungs. The number of unmatched regions …

The goal of ventilation is to minimize lung trauma by avoiding overdistension and repetitive
alveolar collapse, while providing adequate oxygenation. Protective ventilation is not simply …

Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are syndromes of
acute diffuse damage to the pulmonary parenchyma by a variety of local or systemic insults …

Rationale: The prone position is used to improve gas exchange in patients with acute
respiratory distress syndrome. However, the regional mechanism by which the prone …
