At 1 year after participants’ ICU stay for acute respiratory failure, mean DLCO was about 5% lower in those who had an ICU oxygenation target of 60 vs 90 mm Hg. Cognitive impairment levels among ...

In a recent study investigating the effects of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) on reducing inspired oxygen concentration during one-lung ventilation (OLV), several key findings and outcomes were identified.

Objective To perform a network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials of different surfactant treatment strategies for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) to assess if a certain fraction of ...

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 ...

Lungpacer Medical, the award-winning medical device company founded by BPK professor Andy Hoffer in 2009 and spun out from the SFU Neurokinesiology Lab in 2014, achieved a key milestone on December 5, ...

Lung ultrasound is a developing and beneficial method for identifying compromised alveolar air and the presence of interstitial and alveolar fluid. It assesses lung aeration beyond the pleura and can ...

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.

Among 11 fingertip pulse oximeters used during hypoxemia in healthy participants, five devices had a root mean square error (ARMS) >3%, which falls outside the ...

Information on the performance of oxygenation indices (OIs) and risk scores in patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is limited. We determine the performance of the OIs and risk ...

When a patient is receiving supplemental oxygen during surgery, there’s a risk that they’ll develop hyperoxia, where their arterial blood becomes oxygenated above normal levels, potentially leading to ...
