In a recent study investigating the effects of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) on reducing inspired oxygen concentration during one-lung ventilation (OLV), several key findings and outcomes were identified.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a significant complication in critical care patients. COVID-19 (C19)-associated severe respiratory failure is related to it, and d-dimer rise predicts a worse ...
The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
Lung ultrasound is a developing and beneficial method for identifying compromised alveolar air and the presence of interstitial and alveolar fluid. It assesses lung aeration beyond the pleura and can ...
The following is a summary of “Prognostic value of PaO2/FiO2 ratio in predicting clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients,” published in the June 2024 issue of Critical Care by Canto-Costal et al.
The models use maximal deflection of esophageal pressure to quantify HFOT-related breathing effort (ΔPes) and the risk for strong breathing effort (ΔPes >10 cmH2O). Two models have been developed to ...
Introduction The use of fibrinolytic therapy has been proposed in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). During the COVID-19 pandemic, anticoagulation has received special attention due to ...

ABSTRACT: Background: Recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rhTM) was approved for the treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation in Japan, and rhTM has anti-inflammatory effects.
Masimo Corporation MASI recently announced the findings of a retrospective study in which researchers assessed the association between Masimo ORi (Oxygen Reserve Index) and the arterial partial ...
The PF ratio (PaO2/FiO2 ratio) is an essential indicator used in medicine to gauge the severity of a patient’s hypoxemic respiratory failure. This value helps healthcare professionals determine ...
The P/F ratio, also known as the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, is a valuable tool for evaluating oxygenation status in critically ill patients. It is commonly used to determine the severity of acute respiratory ...
