The difference between Bohr and Enghoff dead space are not well described in ARDS patients. We aimed to analyze the effect of PEEP on spaces a model ARDS.10 pigs submitted randomized steps 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 30 cm H2O were evaluated with use lung ultrasound images, alveolar-arterial oxygen (P(A-a)O2 ), transpulmonary mechanics, volumetric capnography at each step.At ≥ 15 H2O, atelectasis P(A-a)O2 progressively decreased while end-inspiratory pressure (PL), end-expiratory PL, driving PL...
ABSTRACT Objective Describe the clinical and respiratory characteristics of critical patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Design Observational retrospective study over 6 months. Setting Intensive care unit (ICU) a high complexity hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Patients older than 18 years laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2 were included study. Variables interest Demographic such as sex age,...
Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure is a condition that comprises wide array of entities. Obtaining histological lung sample might help reach diagnosis and direct an appropriate treatment in select group patients.To describe our experience the use cryobiopsy for acute undetermined origin.Retrospective analysis case series patients with who underwent at Intensive Care Unit Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, Argentina.Cryobiopsy yielded all (n = 10, 100%). This led to either change therapy or...
To analyze whether changes in medical care due to the application of COVID-19 protocols affected clinical outcomes patients without during pandemic.This was a retrospective, observational cohort study carried out thirty-eight-bed surgical and intensive unit high complexity private hospital. Patients with respiratory failure admitted March April 2020 same months 2019 were selected. We compared interventions pandemic 2019. The main variables analyzed management, number chest tomography scans...
The development of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in Latin America represents a challenge this specialty field. objective article was to describe results new program an intensive care unit.This retrospective cohort study included 22 patients who required and were treated from January 2011 June 2014. baseline characteristics, indications, duration condition, days on mechanical ventilation, unit, complications, hospital mortality evaluated.Fifteen after lung transplantation, seven due...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> To analyze the role of PEEP on dynamic relative regional strain (DRRS) in a model ARDS, respective maps were generated by electrical impedance tomography (EIT). <h3>METHODS:</h3> Eight ARDS pigs submitted to steps 0, 5, 10, and 15 cm H<sub>2</sub>O at fixed ventilation evaluated EIT images. DRRS was calculated as (V<sub>T-EIT</sub>/EELI)/(V<sub>T-EIT[15PEEP]</sub>/EELI<sub>[15PEEP]</sub>), where tidal volume (V<sub>T</sub>)<sub>-EIT</sub> end-expiratory lung (EELI) are...
ABSTRACT Introduction Pandemics pose a major challenge for public health preparedness, requiring coordinated international response and the development of solid containment plans. An early accurate identification high-risk patients in course actual COVID-19 pandemic is vital planning making proper use available resources. Objective The purpose this study was to identify key variables create predictive model that could be used effectively triage. Methods A narrative literature review 651...
Thirty-three consecutive patients with previously untreated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 6 recurrent HCC were treated transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). The not eligible for surgical resection or percutaneous ethanol injection. TAE was performed Lipiodol Ultra-Fluid, epidoxorubicin Gelfoam, a mean of 1.7 treatments per patient. CT 15 days after TAE. cumulative survival 14.2 months in HCC. stages Okuda I II did differ significantly (p > 0.05); tumor size affect 0.05). Two died...
IntroducciónEl Síndrome de Leak Capilar Idiopático (SLCI) o enfermedad Clarkson es un entidad rara pero potencialmente letal, caracterizada por episodios recurrentes shock y anasarca secundarios al aumento idiopático la permeabilidad capilar. En este contexto, el uso membrana oxigenación extracorpórea (ECMO) venoarterial como soporte cardiorrespiratorio, una medida rescate que busca generar estabilidad hemodinámica a espera desaparición espontánea del leak capilar con fin sortear las...
