Objectives COVID-19 causes lung parenchymal and endothelial damage that lead to hypoxic acute respiratory failure (hARF). The influence of hARF severity on patients’ outcomes is still poorly ...

Objective To determine if combining high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) with additional sigh breaths would improve end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) and oxygenation in preterm infants.

Case Presentation: A 37-year-old man with no known medical history presented to a pharmacy with agitation and severe chest pain radiating to the back. At 16:00, he experienced a witnessed cardiac ...

The SOFA-2 score included new definitions, new variables, and revised thresholds to categorize the severity of organ dysfunction in critical illness. The updates reflected changes in practice, ...

ABSTRACT: Background: There is a paucity of data on the efficacy of ventilatory strategies in COVID-19-related ARDS. The aim of this study was to describe the effect of positive end-expiratory ...
