In Brief BACKGROUND: The aim of our study was to evaluate the pulmonary and hemodynamic effects two different recruitment maneuvers after open heart surgery. METHODS: Sixty patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery were randomized into three groups operation: maneuver with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) (CPAP-40 group, n = 20), by end-expiratory (PEEP) (PEEP-20 5 cm H2O PEEP (PEEP-5 20). CPAP-40 40 peak inspiratory applied for 30 s, then reduced 20 ventilation continued...

Background Ventilator-associated pneumonia is the leading nosocomial infection in critically ill patients. The frequency of ventilator-associated caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria has increased recent years, and these pathogens cause most deaths attributable to pneumonia. authors, therefore, evaluated factors associated with selected critical care Methods authors prospectively recorded potential risk at time intensive unit admission. An endotracheal aspirate was obtained all patients...
