Read MoreAbstract We read with great interest Pavlov’s letter to the editor on oxygenation targets and optimization of mechanical ventilation (MV) during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Adding FiO2 titration strategy would have been..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) facilitates the reduction of mechanical ventilation (MV) support in acute respiratory failure. Contrary to increasing evidence regarding its initiation, the optimal timing of..
Read MoreAbstract Aims To evaluate the feasibility of a transthoracic echocardiogram using an apical‑subcostal protocol in invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and prone position. Methods Prospective study of adults who required a..
Read MoreAbstract Patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) typically suffer from cardiogenic pulmonary edema and lung atelectasis, which can exacerbate right ventricular (RV) dysfunction through an increase in lung elastance..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreCon: Mechanical Ventilation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Abstract The ventilatory strategy to adopt during cardiopulmonary bypass is still being debated. The rationale for using continuous positive airway pressure or mechanical ventilation..
