Article Synopsis
- Unplanned invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in lung cancer patients is linked to high mortality rates, with a study aiming to identify factors affecting weaning, ICU survival, and 1-year survival among these patients.
- The study analyzed data from 136 lung cancer patients over ten years, finding that 38% were successfully weaned from IMV, 38% were discharged from the ICU, and only 16% survived one year later.
- Key factors influencing weaning and ICU survival included oxygen levels upon admission and the reason for intubation, while long-term survival was primarily affected by the presence of metastasis at the time of admission.
Background: Lung ultrasound can accurately detect pandemic coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pulmonary lesions. A lung ultrasound score (LUS) was developed to improve reproducibility of the technique.
Objectives: To evaluate the clinical value of LUS monitoring to guide COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) management.
COVID-19 pneumonia typically begins with subpleural ground glass opacities with progressive extension on computerized tomography studies. Lung ultrasound is well suited to this interstitial, subpleural involvement, and it is now broadly used in intensive care units (ICUs). The extension and severity of lung infiltrates can be described numerically with a reproducible and validated lung ultrasound score (LUSS).
