    Patients with COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome undergoing transplantation had comparable, high survival rates to patients with COVID-19-related pulmonary fibrosis, according to results published in JAMA Surgery.Further, survival rates from these patients did not differ from those of patients who underwent lung transplantation for a non-COVID-19-related reason, according to

    Background Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) individualized to a maximal respiratory system compliance directly implies minimal driving pressures with potential outcome benefits, yet, raises concerns on static and dynamic overinflation, strain and cyclic recruitment. Detailed accurate assessment and understanding of these has been hampered by methodological limitations. We aimed to investigate the effects of a maximal compliance-guided PEEP strategy on dynamic lung aeration, strain and tidal recruitment using current four-dimensional computed tomography (CT) techniques and analytical methods of tissue deformation in a surfactant depletion experimental model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods ARDS was induced by saline lung lavage in anesthetized and mechanically ventilated healthy sheep (n = 6). Animals were ventilated in a random sequence with: (1) ARDSNet low-stretch protocol; (2) maximal compliance PEEP strategy. Lung aeration, strain and tidal recruitment

    The right ventricle (RV) is intricately linked in the clinical presentation of critical illness however the basis of this is not well understood and has not been studied as extensively as the left ventricle. There has been an increased awareness of the need to understand how the RV is affected in different critical illness states. In addition, the increased use of point of care echocardiography in the critical care setting has allowed for earlier identification and monitoring of the RV in the critically ill patient.
