Abstract Purpose: Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is an integral part of the management algorithm of patients with severe respiratory failure refractory to evidence-based conventional treatments. Right ventricular injury (RVI)..
Lee masAbstract Building solid evidence in intensive care medicine is challenging, mostly due to patient heterogeneity and concomitant treatment interactions. In the context of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), only two..
Lee masIntroduction Managing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) poses significant challenges due to its heterogeneous nature. As of 2024, the updated global definition of ARDS now includes patients receiving noninvasive ventilation..
Lee masAbstract Purpose The development of acute kidney injury (AKI) after the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) reduces the chance of organ recovery and survival. The purpose of this study was..
Lee masAbstract In the initial phases of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) support for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), ultraprotective controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) is typically employed to limit..
Lee masAbstract Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) comprises 10–30% of critical care admissions worldwide []. ARDS outcomes have improved secondary to ventilatory strategies that may potentially mitigate ventilator-induced lung injury []...
Lee masAbstract Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) presents a significant challenge in critical care settings, characterized by compromised gas exchange, necessitating in the most severe cases interventions such as veno-venous extracorporeal..
Lee masAbstract Target values for arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are unknown. We hypothesized that lower PaCO2 values on ECMO would..
Lee masAbstract In critically ill patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, prone positioning for 16 hours/day has been shown to confer significant mortality..
Lee masAbstract The development of new right ventricular (RV) dysfunction after cannulation to venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and its association with worse outcomes is increasingly recognized in adult patients,..
Lee masAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is often used in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with refractory hypoxemia. There is limited literature highlighting the development of right ventricular (RV) failure while..
Lee masAbstract Background Pulmonary shunt refers to the passage of venous blood into the arterial blood system bypassingthe alveoli-blood gas exchange. Pulmonary shunt is defined by a drop in the physiologic..
Lee masAbstract Veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can be lifesaving. In these cases, the complex brain-lung crosstalk might lead to a form of acute..
Lee masAbstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a rescue therapy in patients with severe acute res‑piratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to COVID‑19. While bleeding and thrombosis complicate ECMO, theseevents may..
Lee masAbstract Background The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has increased substantially. With modern trials supporting its efficacy, ECMO has become an..
Lee masAbstract Background The impact of mechanical ventilation on the survival of patients supported with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) due to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains still..
Lee masAbstract Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of prone position ventilation treatment on patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after cardiac surgery. Methods: Clinical data were collected from 93..
Lee masAbstract Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is often a consequence of a dysregulated immune response; therefore, immunomodulation by extracorporeal cytokine removal has been increasingly used as an adjuvant therapy, but..
Lee masAbstract Objectives: To describe clinical characteristics, mechanical ventilation strategies, and outcomes in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) during weaning from venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO). Design: Retrospective, multicenter cohort..
Lee masAbstract Rationale: Blood flow rate affects mixed venous oxygenation (SvO2) during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), with possible effects on the pulmonary circulation and the right heart function. Objectives: We..
Lee masAbstract Pulmonary echinococcosis is a parasitic infection that accounts for 20% of the infected cases with echinococcosis. Patients may present after a cyst rupture associated with a variety of complications,..
Lee masAbstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used to support patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The impact of ECMO on long-term outcomes of patients with severe..
Lee masAbstract Background: This document updates previously published Clinical Practice Guidelines for the management of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), incorporating new evidence addressing the use of corticosteroids, venovenous extracorporeal..
Lee masAbstract Severe acute hypercapnia is independently associated with increased adverse effects and intensive care unit mortality in mechanically ventilated patients. During the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) pandemic,..
Lee masThis case reports on an 53-year-old female patient who was admitted to the hospital with an 8 day history of fever and chills, loose stools, vomiting, severe weakness, and reduced..
Lee masAbstract Importance Prone positioning may improve outcomes in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but it is unknown whether prone positioning improves clinical outcomes among patients with ARDS who..
Lee masAbstract Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), imply a decrease in the ability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide by the..
Lee masAbstract A restrictive fluid strategy is recommended in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) managed with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO). However, there are no established predictors for..
Lee masAbstract Mortality prediction for patients with the severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) supported with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is challenging. Clinical variables at baseline and on day 3..
Lee masAbstract Purpose Ultraprotective ventilation in (ARDS) patients with veno-venous (VV ECMO) reduces mechanical power (MP) through changes in positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP); however, the optimal approach to titrate PEEP is unknown. This..
