TL;DR: The liver is identified as the primary organ that supports rapid erythrocyte removal and iron recycling, and a mechanism by which the body adapts to fluctuations in ery throatcyte integrity is uncovered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of tracheostomy decannulation: an international survey
Henry T. Stelfox,Claudia Crimi,Lorenzo Berra,Alberto Noto,Ulrich Schmidt,Luca M. Bigatello,Dean R. Hess +6 more
TL;DR: Patient level of consciousness, cough effectiveness, secretions, and oxygenation are important determinants of clinicians' tracheostomy decannulation opinions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ventilator Associated Pneumonia: Evolving Definitions and Preventive Strategies
TL;DR: The most noteworthy issues in VAP definition and pathophysiology are reviewed and the more interesting proposals for VAP prevention are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of continuous aspiration of subglottic secretion in an in vivo study
Lorenzo Berra,Lorenzo De Marchi,Mauro Panigada,Zu Xi Yu,Andrea A. Baccarelli,Theodor Kolobow +5 more
TL;DR: In group CASS-HU, regardless of finding a marginal decrease of the bacterial colonization of the lower airways, there was pervasive trachea-bronchial-lung bacterial colonization and there was widespread injury to tracheal mucosa/submucosa from the use of CASS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endotracheal Tubes Coated with Antiseptics Decrease Bacterial Colonization of the Ventilator Circuits, Lungs, and Endotracheal Tube
Lorenzo Berra,Lorenzo De Marchi,Zu-Xi Yu,Patrice Laquerriere,Andrea A. Baccarelli,Theodor Kolobow +5 more
TL;DR: Coated ETTs induced a nonsignificant reduction of the tracheal colonization, eliminated or reduced (one of eight) bacterial colonization of the ETT and ventilator circuits, and prevented lung bacterial colonization.
