In this work, a medical expert system is further developed for automatic ventilation therapy based on the well-known ARDSNet protocol by imposing additional dynamical constraints. This protocol-driven ...

ABSTRACT Background: Driving pressure has been suggested to be the main driver of ventilator-induced lung injury and mortality in observational studies of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Whether ...

All patients had ARDS requiring mechanical ventilation during their hospital stay. About 30% of the patients in this study required readmission within one year of discharge.

The 2000 ARDSnet study showed that low tidal volume ventilation was better than the tidal volumes previously used. 1 In patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) there is a reduction in ...

Patients with ARDS and COPD had lower titrated PEEP levels than ARDS patients without COPD. In ARDS patients who also had COPD, the application of PEEP titrated by EIT was lower than that titrated by ...

During ventilation, the mechanics of breathing, the exchange of gasses, and the flow of blood were compared between the groups based on whether the PEEP level was set by EIT or the ARDSnet protocol. A ...

Gattinoni’s recommendations touched off considerable controversy over whether or not Covid-19 causes ARDS, whether ventilators offer the best treatment for the new disease, and how the machines should ...
