The incidence of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is high and still underappreciated by
critical care physicians throughout the world. One in four to one in three patients will have …

The lung parenchyma comprises a large number of thin-walled alveoli, forming an
enormous surface area, which serves to maintain proper gas exchange. The alveoli are held …

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

In the last 15 years, investigators have better clarified the pathogenesis, epidemiology,
diagnosis, and appropriate prevention of IAH/ACS. Subsequent study should be aimed at …

Purpose The optimal method for estimating transpulmonary pressure (ie the fraction of the
airway pressure transmitted to the lung) has not yet been established. Methods In this study …

Objectives: 1) To compare two published methods for estimating pleural pressure, one
based on directly measured esophageal pressure and the other based on chest wall …

Objectives: Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a clinical syndrome characterized by a
refractory hypoxemia due to an inflammatory and high permeability pulmonary edema …

Objective: To clarify the effect of progressively increasing intra-abdominal pressure on
esophageal pressure, transpulmonary pressure, and functional residual capacity. Design …

The accepted protocol to ventilate patients with acute lung injury is to use low tidal volume
(VT) in combination with recruitment maneuvers or positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) …

Objective: Recent interest has arisen in airway driving pressure (DP AW), the quotient of
tidal volume (VT), and respiratory system compliance (C RS), which could serve as a direct …
