Importance The substantial growth over the last decade in the use of extracorporeal life
support for adults with acute respiratory failure reveals an enthusiasm for the technology not …

Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) can support gas exchange in patients with the acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). During ECLS, venous blood is drained from a central …

Purpose To improve the outcome of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), one
needs to identify potentially modifiable factors associated with mortality. Methods The large …

This narrative review explores the physiology and evidence-based management of patients
with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and refractory hypoxemia, with a …

Purpose We assessed feasibility and safety of extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal
(ECCO 2 R) to facilitate ultra-protective ventilation (VT 4 mL/kg and P PLAT≤ 25 cmH 2 O) …

Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) encompasses a wide range of extracorporeal modalities
that offer short-and intermediate-term mechanical support to the failing heart or lung. Apart …

Apnoeic oxygenation refers to oxygenation in the absence of spontaneous respiration or
mechanical ventilation. It has been described in humans for over half a century and has …

Ventilator-induced lung injury remains a key contributor to the morbidity and mortality of
acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Efforts to minimize this injury are typically …

Background: The amount of extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal may influence
respiratory drive in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients undergoing …

Purpose To review the available knowledge related to the use of ECCO 2 R as adjuvant
strategy to mechanical ventilation (MV) in various clinical settings of acute respiratory failure …
