Perfluorocarbons accumulate in the dependent regions of the lungs, which may result in regional hypoxia if ventilation with oxygen is insufficient to oxygenate the dependent perfluorocarbon-filled alveoli. In ...
Practice guidelines on weaning should be based on the results of several well-designed randomized studies performed over the last decade. One of those studies demonstrated that immediate extubation after succe...

Hemofiltration as an adjunct to therapy for sepsis is now 10 years old. Despite early successes and significant theoretical advantages, the treatment remains experimental. Although feasibility has been establi...
The mechanisms by which partial liquid ventilation (PLV) canimprove gas exchange in acute lung injury are still unclear. Therefore, weexamined the time- and dose-dependency of the improvements in arterial oxyg...
Devices for active humidification of the inspired air inmechanically ventilated patients cause water condensation in the ventilatortubing, which may become contaminated or interfere with the function of theven...
To determine the clinical usefulness of immediate (stat) chestradiographs after endotracheal intubation when performed by experiencedcritical care personnel.
Elevated plasma lactate has been shown to correlate with mortality in patients with septic shock. Heat stress prior to sepsis has resulted in reduction in acute lung injury and mortality. We investigated wheth...
Head extension and excessive laryngoscope blade levering motion(LBLM) are undesirable during airway management of trauma patients. Wehypothesized that laryngoscopy with a modified blade facilitating glotticexp...
Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) associated with organ dysfunction defines the abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). Elevated intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) adversely impacts pulmonary, cardiovascular, renal...
Our current state of knowledge on noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) and technical aspects are discussed in the present review. In patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, NPPV can be...
An advanced understanding of acid–base physiology is as central to the practice of critical care medicine, as are an understanding of cardiac and pulmonary physiology. Intensivists spend much of their time man...
