Abstract Purpose Esophageal pressure (Pes) is a minimally invasive advanced respiratory
monitoring method with the potential to guide management of ventilation support and …

Dyspnoea is a debilitating symptom that affects quality of life, exercise tolerance and

Purpose Much of the common practice in paediatric mechanical ventilation is based on
personal experiences and what paediatric critical care practitioners have adopted from adult …

Rationale: The diaphragm is the major inspiratory muscle and is assumed to relax during

Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) inhibit patient-initiated active breath and the risk of
high tidal volumes and consequent high transpulmonary pressure swings, and minimize …

Background Prolonged controlled mechanical ventilation depresses diaphragmatic
efficiency. Assisted modes of ventilation should improve it. We assessed the impact of …

Volume expansion is a mainstay of therapy in septic shock, although its effect is difficult to
predict using conventional measurements. Dynamic parameters, which vary with respiratory …

Background Positive-pressure ventilation causes a ventral redistribution of ventilation.
Spontaneous breathing during general anesthesia with a laryngeal mask airway could …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fibrotic lung disease characterized by progressive
