OBJECTIVES: To examine frictional, viscoelastic, and elastic resistive components, as well threshold pressures, during volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) pressure-controlled (PCV) in pediatric patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Seven-bed PICU, Hospital El Carmen de Maipú, Chile. PATIENTS: Eighteen mechanically ventilated less than or equal to 15 years old undergoing neuromuscular blockade part of management for ARDS....
Accurate and reliable noninvasive methods to estimate gas exchange are necessary guide clinical decisions avoid frequent blood samples in children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). We aimed investigate the correlation agreement between end-tidal PCO2${P}_{{\mathrm{CO}}_{2}}$ measured immediately after a 3-s inspiratory-hold (PLAT CO2 ) by capnometry PaCO2${P}_{{\mathrm{aCO}}_{2}}$ arterial gases (ABG) PARDS.Prospective cohort study.Seven-bed Pediatric Intensive Care...
We report the feasibility of a combined approach very low tidal volume (VT) and mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) to decrease ventilatory load in severe COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) cohort. Inclusion criteria was patients ≥18-years-old, ARDS, driving pressure ∆P >15 cmH 2 O despite low-VT strategy, extracorporeal therapies not available. MTH induced with surface cooling device aiming at 34°C. maintained for 72 h, followed by rewarming 1°C per day. Data were...
Abstract Background: Low tidal volume (Vt) strategy is currently the standard of care for ARDS. However, this approach may result in harmful airway pressures severe We report feasibility a combined very low-VT and mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) to decrease ventilatory load COVID-19-related ARDS cohort.Methods: Seven patients were reported. Inclusion criteria ≥ 18years-old, ARDS, driving pressure (DP) > 15 cmH 2 O despite strategy, extracorporeal therapies not available. Patients with...
