The effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) application on optic nerve sheath diameter in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a randomized trial

Braz. J. Anesth. (Impr.); 73 (6), 2023
Abstract Background: Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can overcome respiratory changes that occur during pneumoperitoneum application in laparoscopic procedures, but it can also increase intracranial pressure. We investigated PEEP vs. no PEEP application on ultrasound measurement of optic nerve s...

Injuria pulmonar autoinducida por el paciente

Med. infant; 29 (1), 2022
La Injuria Pulmonar Autoinducida por el Paciente (p-SILI) es una entidad recientemente reconocida. Clásicamente, el daño producido por la ventilación mecánica (VM) se asoció al uso de presión positiva, y para disminuirlo se crearon distintas estrategias conocidas como parámetros de protección pul...

Alveolar recruitment maneuvers for children with cancer and acute respiratory distress syndrome: a feasibility study

ABSTRACT Objective: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can be a devastating condition in children with cancer and alveolar recruitment maneuvers (ARMs) can theoretically improve oxygenation and survival. The study aimed to assess the feasibility of ARMs in critically ill children with cancer an...

La ventilación no invasiva domiciliaria en pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica e hipercapnia podría asociarse con menor mortalidad, ingresos hospitalarios e intubaciones
Non-invasive home ventilation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hypercapnia could be associated with decreased mortality, hospital admissions, and intubations

COVID-19 diagnostic and management protocol for pediatric patients

Clinics; 75 (), 2020
This review aims to verify the main epidemiologic, clinical, laboratory-related, and therapeutic aspects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in critically ill pediatric patients. An extensive review of the medical literature on COVID-19 was performed, mainly focusing on the critical care of pediatric ...

Impact of lung expansion therapy using positive end-expiratory pressure in mechanically ventilated patients submitted to coronary artery bypass grafting

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the impact of different levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on gas exchange in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted with patients undergoing CABG surgery. Patients were randomized int...

Analysis of different levels of positive end-expiratory pressure during lung retrieval for transplantation: an experimental study

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (7), 2019
Atelectasis and inadequate oxygenation in lung donors is a common problem during the retrieval of these organs. Nevertheless, the use of high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is not habitual during procedures of lung retrieval. Twenty-one Sprague-Dawley male consanguineous rats were used in the st...

Effects of manual chest compression on expiratory flow bias during the positive end-expiratory pressure-zero end-expiratory pressure maneuver in patients on mechanical ventilation

J. bras. pneumol; 45 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the effects of manual chest compression (MCC) on the expiratory flow bias during the positive end-expiratory pressure-zero end-expiratory pressure (PEEP-ZEEP) airway clearance maneuver applied in patients on mechanical ventilation. The flow bias, which influences pulmo...

Extended-time of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation improves tissue perfusion after coronary artery bypass surgery: a randomized clinical trial

Abstract Objective: To compare the effects of extended- versus short-time noninvasive positive pressure ventilation on pulmonary function, tissue perfusion, and clinical outcomes in the early postoperative period following coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with preserved left ventricular functi...

Flexible bronchoscopy and mechanical ventilation in managing Mounier-Kuhn syndrome: a case report

Säo Paulo med. j; 136 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT CONTEXT: Mounier-Kuhn syndrome is a rare congenital condition with distinct dilatation and diverticulation of the tracheal wall. The symptoms may vary and the treatment usually consists of support. CASE REPORT: The patient was a 60-year-old male with recurrent hospital admission. He was admi...
