Biomimetic Thorax Simulator Enables Precise Regional Intrapulmonary Pressure Measurements During Ventilation
Researchers have demonstrated a biomimetic thorax simulator incorporating an ex vivo porcine lung that successfully measures synchronized regional intrapulmonary pressures ...
Lung scarring strikes a third of COVID-19 ARDS survivors six months after ICU discharge
A prospective study of 440 COVID-19 ARDS survivors found that 36.8 percent showed pulmonary fibrotic changes on chest CT six ...
Pneumonia-driven ARDS emerges as biologically distinct syndrome demanding tailored care
A narrative review argues that pneumonia-driven ARDS is a biologically distinct, heterogeneous form of respiratory failure in which pathogen burden, ...
Breathing by the numbers: bedside lung mechanics reshape ARDS ventilation
A new review argues that real-time measurements of respiratory mechanics can personalize ventilator settings in ARDS, though key strategies still ...
Ventilation Modes Split Breathing Energy Differently, Bench Simulator Study Finds
A bench study using a hybrid respiratory simulator found that ventilation modes differ in how they partition inspiratory mechanical power ...
Sixty Years After ARDS Was Named, Scientists Ask Whether Ventilation Can Help Lungs Repair
A new hypothesis paper proposes that ventilation tuned within lung-protective limits might also preserve the mechanical signals needed for the ...
From Kilograms to Compliance: Rethinking Lung-Protective Ventilation as an Equity Issue
A new perspective in Intensive Care Medicine argues that tidal volumes scaled to predicted body weight systematically overestimate lung size ...
Tidal Volume Targets Alone Fail to Capture the True Mechanical Dose of High-Frequency Ventilation
A new correspondence in Pediatric Research argues that target tidal volume alone cannot describe the mechanical dose delivered during high-frequency ...
The Hidden Heart-Lung Link That Decides Who Survives ARDS
A new perspective in Intensive Care Medicine argues that ARDS is a combined lung and pulmonary circulatory disorder, and that ...
