Journal ArticleDOI
The number of failing organs predicts non-invasive ventilation failure in children with ALI/ARDS
Marco Piastra,Daniele De Luca,Laura Marzano,Eleonora Stival,Orazio Genovese,Domenico Pietrini,Giorgio Conti +6 more
TL;DR: The number of organ failures at admission (NOF) is a strong predictor of NIV failure and children with no organ failures other than ALI/ARDS may safely be treated with NIV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiologic Evaluation of Different Levels of Assistance During Noninvasive Ventilation Delivered Through a Helmet
Roberta Costa,Paolo Navalesi,Massimo Antonelli,Franco Cavaliere,Andrea Craba,Rodolfo Proietti,Giorgio Conti +6 more
TL;DR: In volunteers, the helmet is efficient in ventilation, allowing a Vt increase and RRpes reduction, and a significant discomfort was present only at the highest level of assistance; however, it did not affect patient/ventilator interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of leukotrienes B4, C4 and of their isomers in arterial, mixed venous blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from ARDS patients.
Massimo Antonelli,M. Bufi,R. A. De Blasi,G. Crimi,Giorgio Conti,Consalvo Mattia,G. Vivino,Luisa Lenti,D. Lombardi,A. Dotta,Giuseppe M. Pontieri,Alessandro Gasparetto +11 more
TL;DR: The distribution of these arachidonic acid metabolites in mixed venous blood, arterial blood and BAL seems to suggest pulmonary metabolism and/or inactivation of the ARDS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bile acids cause secretory phospholipase A2 activity enhancement, revertible by exogenous surfactant administration
Daniele De Luca,Angelo Minucci,Enrico Zecca,Marco Piastra,Domenico Pietrini,Virgilio P. Carnielli,Cecilia Zuppi,Ascanio Tridente,Giorgio Conti,Ettore Capoluongo +9 more
TL;DR: BA are likely to contribute to lung injury, causing surfactant inactivation through the increased sPLA2 activity, consistent with available literature data and may indicate an anionic activation of the enzyme by bile acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedation with sufentanil in patients receiving pressure support ventilation has no effects on respiration: a pilot study.
Giorgio Conti,Andrea Arcangeli,Massimo Antonelli,Franco Cavaliere,Roberta Costa,Francesca Simeoni,Rodolfo Proietti +6 more
TL;DR: A continuous infusion of sufentanil induces “awake” sedation with no detectable effects on respiratory variables in critically ill patients during partial ventilatory support.
