Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of a Protective-Ventilation Strategy on Mortality in the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

TL;DR: As compared with conventional ventilation, the protective strategy was associated with improved survival at 28 days, a higher rate of weaning from mechanical ventilation, and a lower rate of barotrauma in patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beneficial effects of the open lung approach with low distending pressures in acute respiratory distress syndrome : a prospective randomized study on mechanical ventilation

TL;DR: It is concluded that the NA ventilatory strategy can markedly improve the lung function in patients with ARDS, increasing the chances of early weaning and lung recovery during mechanical ventilation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal Hemodynamic Effects of Permissive Hypercapnia Associated with Ideal PEEP in ARDS

TL;DR: A multivariate analysis suggested that these acute hyperdynamic effects were related to respiratory acidosis, with no depressant effects ascribed to high PEEP levels, in contrast, high plateau pressures were associated with cardiovascular depression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sepsis is a major determinant of outcome in critically ill HIV/AIDS patients.

TL;DR: Severe sepsis has emerged as a major cause of admission and mortality for hospitalized HIV/ AIDS patients, significantly affecting short- and longer-term survival of critically ill HIV/AIDS patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

The innate immune response in HIV/AIDS septic shock patients: a comparative study.

TL;DR: IL-6, IL-10 and G-CSF are biomarkers that can be used to predict prognosis and outcomes in HIV/AIDS septic patients, which is similar to that in the non-HIV septic population.
