Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for refractory acute respiratory
distress syndrome (ARDS) is a rapidly expanding technique. We performed a systematic …

During assisted mechanical ventilation, spontaneous inspiratory effort can cause both lung
(patient self-inflicted lung injury [P-SILI]) and diaphragm injury. While clinicians are primarily …

Research question Given the relative independence of ventilator settings from gas
exchange and plasticity of blood gas values during extracorporeal cardiopulmonary …

Background Mechanical power (MP) refers to the energy delivered by a ventilator to the
respiratory system per unit of time. MP referenced to predicted body weight (PBW) or …

OBJECTIVES: Driving pressure (ratio of tidal volume over respiratory system compliance) is
associated with mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome. We sought to evaluate if …

Background During control mechanical ventilation (CMV), the driving pressure of the
respiratory system (Δ P rs) serves as a surrogate of transpulmonary driving pressure (Δ P …

Background: Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) has gained
popularity for the treatment of refractory respiratory failure during and after the 2009 …

This study determined whether compared to conventional mechanical ventilation (MV),
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is associated with decreased hospital …

BACKGROUND: Limited adult data suggest that airway driving pressure might better reflect
the potential risk for lung injury than tidal volume based on ideal body weight, and the …
