JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A retirada precoce da ventilação mecânica (VM) é importante para reduzir a morbimortalidade de pacientes internados em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva. O objetivo deste estudo ...
ABSTRACT: Background: There is a paucity of data on the efficacy of ventilatory strategies in COVID-19-related ARDS. The aim of this study was to describe the effect of positive end-expiratory ...
The following is a summary of “Clinical Performance of Spo 2 /Fio 2 and Pao 2 /Fio 2 Ratio in Mechanically Ventilated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients: A Retrospective Study,” published in ...
The following is a summary of “Prognostic value of PaO2/FiO2 ratio in predicting clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients,” published in the June 2024 issue of Critical Care by Canto-Costal et al.
The models use maximal deflection of esophageal pressure to quantify HFOT-related breathing effort (ΔPes) and the risk for strong breathing effort (ΔPes >10 cmH2O). Two models have been developed to ...
The alveolar-arterial gradient, often abbreviated as A-a gradient, is an essential tool in assessing a patient’s lung function and identifying various respiratory disorders. It represents the ...
The P/F ratio, also known as the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, is a valuable tool for evaluating oxygenation status in critically ill patients. It is commonly used to determine the severity of acute respiratory ...
Exposure to hyperoxia, a high arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), may be associated with worse outcomes in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) support. We examined ...
