Purpose Assessing efficacy of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in optimizing positive
end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients to …

Hypoxemic respiratory failure is one of the leading causes of mortality in intensive care.
Frequent assessment of individual physiological characteristics and delivery of personalized …

Rationale: It is unknown whether preventing overdistention or collapse is more important
when titrating positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in acute respiratory distress …

Recruitment is a process expressing a transition from status A to status B. In acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), status A (initial) is the level of inflation of the …

At present, the management of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
largely focuses on ventilator settings to limit intrathoracic pressures by using low tidal …

Abstract Background Various Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) titration strategies
have been proposed to optimize ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress …

Background Internal redistribution of gas, referred to as pendelluft, is a new potential
mechanism of effort-dependent lung injury. Neurally-adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) and …

Introduction While limiting the tidal volume to 6 mL/kg during veno-venous extracorporeal
membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) to ameliorate lung injury in patients with acute …

Pre-injured lungs are prone to injury progression in response to mechanical ventilation.
Heterogeneous ventilation due to (micro) atelectases imparts injurious strains on open …

Background Recent advances on cardiorespiratory monitoring applied in ARDS patients
undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation and noninvasive ventilatory support are …
