Prone positioning is currently applied in time-limited daily sessions up to 24 h which determines that most patients require several sessions. Although longer prone have been reported, there scarce evidence about the feasibility and safety of such approach. We analyzed a continuous prolonged strategy implemented nationwide, large cohort COVID-19 Chile.Retrospective study mechanically ventilated with moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), conducted 15 Intensive Care...
Cyclic strain may be a determinant of ventilator-induced lung injury. The standard for assessment is the computed tomography (CT), which does not allow continuous monitoring and exposes to radiation. Electrical impedance (EIT) able monitor changes in regional ventilation. In addition, there correlation between mechanical deformation materials detectable its electrical impedance, making EIT potential surrogate cyclic measured by CT (StrainCT ).To compare global StrainCT with change (ΔZ).Acute...
Deaths in the intensive care unit (ICU) represent an experience of suffering for patients, their families, and professionals. End-of-life (EOL) has been added to responsibilities ICU team, but evidence supporting EOL is scarce, there are many barriers implementing clinical recommendations that do exist.To explore experiences perspectives various members team Chile regarding patients.A qualitative study was performed a high-complexity academic urban hospital. The used purposive sampling with...
