In a porcine model of oleic acid-induced lung injury, the effects of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO)
and intravenous almitrine bismesylate (ivALM), which enhances the hypoxic pulmonary …

Dear Editor, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with a high fatality rate in
patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV)[1]. COVID-19-related acute …

Background Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a clear risk factor for acute lung injury which
has been poorly described in trauma patients. This prospective study was undertaken to …

IMPLICATIONS: In a patient population without cardiac disease, portal triad clamping could
be performed safely during laparoscopy, despite a decrease in left ventricular function and …

Objective In acute respiratory distress syndrome, the relationships between changes in the
elastic behavior of the respiratory system and biological markers of extra-cellular matrix or …

Microsphere technique is the reference for assessment of pulmonary blood flow (PBF) but is
destructive; PET, however, can determine PBF noninvasively. Comparisons of these 2 …

Objective Pressure-volume (PV) curves are recorded after induction of complete muscle
paralysis, which may limit their clinical use. The feasibility of recording PV curves without …

Background Postoperative administration of paracetamol or its prodrug propacetamol has
been shown to decrease pain with a morphine sparing effect. However, the effect of …

Study objectives To assess the respective effects of position and positive end-expiratory
pressure (PEEP) on the distribution of regional pulmonary blood flow (PBF). Design Prospective …
