High-flow nasal oxygen is the reference treatment in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure: Con

Abstract Over the past decade and boosted by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) has been increasingly used in the intensive care unit (ICU) to treat acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). In this review, we show that despite this wide and rapid increase in the use of HFNO to treat AHRF, […]

Pressure support, patient effort and tidal volume: a conceptual model for a non linear interaction

Abstract Pressure support ventilation (PSV) is a form of assisted ventilation which has become frequently used, with the aim of partially unloading the patient’s inspiratory muscles. Both under- and over-assistance should be avoided to target a lung- and diaphragm- protective ventilation. Herein, we propose a conceptual model, supported by actual data, to describe how patient
