Journal ArticleDOI

Lung Recruitment in Patients with the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

TL;DR: In ARDS, the percentage of potentially recruitable lung is extremely variable and is strongly associated with the response to PEEP, which may decrease ventilator-induced lung injury by keeping lung regions open that otherwise would be collapsed.
Journal ArticleDOI

How is mechanical ventilation employed in the intensive care unit? An international utilization review.

TL;DR: The primary indications for Mechanical ventilation and the ventilator settings were remarkably similar across countries, but the selection of modes of mechanical ventilation and methods of weaning varied considerably from country to country.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lung Opening and Closing during Ventilation of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

TL;DR: In patients with acute lung injury or ARDS, especially in patients with higher lung recruitability, the beneficial impact of reducing intratidal alveolar opening and closing by increasing PEEP prevails over the effects of increasingAlveolar strain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut mucosal atrophy after a short enteral fasting period in critically ill patients.

TL;DR: It was found that a short period of enteral fasting was associated with significant duodenal mucosal atrophy and abnormal gut permeability in critically ill patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preoperative percutaneous ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block with 0.5% bupivacaine for post-herniorrhaphy pain management in adults.

TL;DR: This technique appears to be a simple and safe method for providing effective and long-lasting postoperative analgesia following inguinal hernia repair in adults.
