Article Synopsis
- Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) can help measure airway opening pressure (AOP) in patients with lung issues, revealing that asymmetrical AOPs may lead to delays in air filling between the lungs.
- A study involving 23 patients, mostly with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), found that those with AOP asymmetry experienced significant delays in lung inflation compared to those with symmetrical AOPs, particularly during low-flow inflation and tidal ventilation.
- The results suggest that adjusting Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) levels can help reduce inter-lung inflation delays, making it possible to monitor lung function effectively, even during challenging ventilation scenarios.
The average age of patients undergoing mitral valve repair is increasing each year. This retrospective study aimed to compare postoperative complications of mitral valve repair (known to be especially high-risk) between 2 age groups: under and over the age of 80.Patients who underwent mitral valve repair were divided into 2 groups: group 1 (<80 years old) and group 2 (≥80 years old).

Objective: Arterial pulse pressure variation (PPV) has been used as an accurate index to predict fluid responsiveness. However, many confounding factors have been recently described. The aims of this study were to assess the conditions of applicability of PPV in intensive care units (ICU).

The aim of this study was to assess rapid changes in CO using esCCO (ΔCOesCCO) without invasive calibration and to compare the results with those using transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (ΔCOTTE).
Methods: Fifty-four consecutive patients were enrolled in this study following elective cardiac surgery.
