Background: Although lung protection with low tidal volume and limited plateau pressure (P) improves survival in acute respiratory distress syndrome patients (ARDS), the best way to set positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is still debated.

Methods: This study aimed to compare two strategies using individual PEEP based on a maximum P (28-30 cmHO, the Express group) or on keeping end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure positive (0-5 cmHO, P group). We estimated alveolar recruitment (Vrec), end-expiratory lung volume and alveolar distension based on elastance-related end-inspiratory transpulmonary pressure (P).

Introduction: The incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) related to a central venous catheter varies considerably in ICUs depending on the population included. The aim of this study was to determine subclavian central venous catheter (SCVC)-related DVT risk factors in severely traumatized patients with regard to two kinds of polyurethane catheters.

Methods: Critically ill trauma patients needing a SCVC for their usual care were prospectively included in an observational study.

Epidural analgesia is the gold standard for the management of pain after thoracopulmonary surgery. However, it is not without side-effects and complications. We report the case of a 52-year-old man who underwent left lower lobectomy for a carcinoid tumor.
