The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common cause of respiratory failure in
critically ill patients and is defined by the acute onset of noncardiogenic pulmonary oedema …

During the past decade a plethora of studies have unravelled the multiple roles of nitric
oxide (NO) in airway physiology and pathophysiology. In the respiratory tract, NO is …

Because animal studies have demonstrated that mechanical ventilation at high volume and
pressure can be deleterious to the lungs, limitation of airway pressure, allowing hypercapnia …

ContextInhaled nitric oxide has been shown to improve oxygenation in acute lung injury.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of low-dose (5-ppm) inhaled nitric oxide in patients …

Introduction Pulmonary vascular dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension (PH), and resulting
right ventricular (RV) failure occur in many critical illnesses and may be associated with a …

Purpose Hypercapnia is frequent during mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS), but its effects on morbidity and mortality are still controversial. We …

METHODS AND RESULTS From 1990 to 2001, five clinical trials testing mechanical
ventilation with low tidal volumes in patients with ALI and ARDS were identified, using the …

Рекомендации Общероссийской общественной организации «Федерация
анестезиологов и реаниматологов» посвящены современному состоянию проблемы …

The lobar and cephalocaudal distribution of aerated and nonaerated lung and of PEEP-
induced alveolar recruitment is unknown in acute lung injury (ALI). Dimensions of the lungs …

Objective: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is frequently associated with
increased pulmonary vascular resistance and thus with systolic load of the right ventricle …
