Background The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019) pandemic has swept all
over the world, posing a great pressure on critical care resources due to large number of …

As with most medical and pharmacologic interventions, mechanical ventilation must be
titrated within a therapeutic window, providing the required lifesustaining support while …

Purpose We hypothesized that the ventilator-related causes of lung injury may be unified in
a single variable: the mechanical power. We assessed whether the mechanical power …

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 …

Rationale: Baseline characteristics and management have changed over time in patients
requiring mechanical ventilation; however, the impact of these changes on patient outcomes …

The baby lung was originally defined as the fraction of lung parenchyma that, in acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), still maintains normal inflation. Its size obviously …

Objectives: To develop evidence-based recommendations for clinicians caring for adults
with acute or acute on chronic liver failure in the ICU. Design: The guideline panel …

Mechanical ventilation has been used to support acutely ill patients for several decades. But
clinicians are aware that, despite the life-saving potential of this assistance, it has several …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acute respiratory illness characterised by
bilateral chest radiographical opacities with severe hypoxaemia due to non-cardiogenic …

Background: The “baby lung” concept originated as an offspring of computed tomography
examinations which showed in most patients with acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress …
