Open AccessPerfusion deficits may underlie lung and kidney injury in severe COVID-19 disease: insights from a multicenter international cohort study
Lung perfusion defects, mainly due to endothelial and coagulation activation, are a key contributor to COVID-19 respiratory failure. COVID-19 patients may also develop acute kidney injury (AKI) because of rena...

Open AccessPulmonary shunt in critical care: a practical approach with clinical scenarios
Pulmonary shunt refers to the passage of venous blood into the arterial blood system bypassing the alveoli-blood gas exchange. Pulmonary shunt is defined by a drop in the physiologic coupling of lung ventilati...

Respiratory pattern during neurally adjusted ventilatory assist in acute respiratory failure patients
To investigate the effect of a wide range of assistance levels during neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) and pressure support ventilation (PSV) on respiratory pattern, breathing variability, and incid...

Continuous flow biphasic positive airway pressure by helmet in patients with acute hypoxic respiratory failure: effect on oxygenation
We investigated the effects of periodical high pressure breaths (SIGH) or biphasic positive pressure ventilation (BIPAP) during helmet continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with acute hypoxic ...

An improved Boussignac device for the delivery of non-invasive CPAP: the SUPER-Boussignac
The purpose of this study is to describe and test a modified Boussignac system for non-invasive continuous positive airway pressure, aimed at reducing the decrease in inspiratory oxygen fraction (FiO2) with highe...

Is helmet CPAP first line pre-hospital treatment of presumed severe acute pulmonary edema?
Non-invasive continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is effective in reducing intubation rate and mortality of patient with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE). We report our experience on pre-hospital...

Lung volume in mechanically ventilated patients: measurement by simplified helium dilution compared to quantitative CT scan
We describe a simplified helium dilution technique to measure end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) in mechanically ventilated patients. We assessed both its accuracy in comparison with quantitative computerized ...
