O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos da intensidade do ganho de peso no período
de recria, dos 13 aos 18 meses de idade, sobre a taxa de prenhez de novilhas de corte …

Objective: To present a novel algorithm for estimating recruitable alveolar collapse and
hyperdistension based on electrical impedance tomography (EIT) during a decremental positive …

The assessment of the regional match between alveolar ventilation and perfusion in critically
ill patients requires simultaneous measurements of both parameters. Ideally, assessment of …

Stepwise PEEP recruitment maneuvers can open collapsed ARDS lungs. Higher levels of
PEEP are necessary to maintain the lungs open and assure homogenous ventilation in ARDS. …

Objective: The open lung approach is a mechanical ventilation strategy involving lung
recruitment and a decremental positive end-expiratory pressure trial. We compared the Acute …

Introduction The benefits of higher positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in patients with
acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have been modest, but few studies have fully …

Introduction When alveoli collapse the traction forces exerted on their walls by adjacent
expanded units may increase and concentrate. These forces may promote its re-expansion at …

Objective: The common denominator in most forms of ventilator-induced lung injury is an
intense inflammatory response mediated by neutrophils. PET with [18 F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-…

Objective: It is known that ventilator-induced lung injury causes increased pulmonary inflammation.
It has been suggested that one of the underlying mechanisms may be strain. The aim …
