Objective: To compare the effects of BiPAP ventilation combined with lung recruitment maneuvers (LRM) with low tidal volume A/C ventilation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Methods: A prospective, randomized comparison of BiPAP mechanical ventilation combined with lung recruitment maneuvers (test group) with low tidal volume A/C ventilation (control group) was conducted in 28 patients with ARDS. FiO2/PaO2 ratio, respiratory system compliance (Cs), central venous pressure (CVP), duration of ventilation support were recorded at 0 h, 48 h and 72 h separately. The ventilation associated lung injury and mortality at 28 d were also recorded.
Results: The FiO2/PaO2 ratio were (298+/-16) and (309+/-16) cm H2O, Cs were (38.4+/-2.2) and (42.0+/-1.3) ml/cm H2O, CVP were (13.8+/-0.8) and (11.6+/-0.7) cm H2O in the test group at 48 h and 72 h separately. In the control group, FiO2/PaO2 ratio were (212+/-12) and (246+/-17) cm H2O, Cs were (29.5+/-1.3) and (29.0+/-1.0) ml/cm H2O, CVP were 18.6+/-1.1 and (16.8+/-1.0) cm H2O. The results were better in the test group as compared with the control group (t=10.03-29.68, all P<0.01). The duration of ventilation support in the test group was shorter than the control group [(14+/-3) d vs (19+/-3) d, t=4.80, P<0.01]. The mortality in 28 d and ventilation associated lung injury were similar in the two groups.
Conclusion: The results show that combination of LRM with BiPAP mode ventilation, as compared with the control group, contributes to improved FiO2/PaO2 ratio, pulmonary compliance, stable hemodynamic and shorter duration of ventilation support in patients with ARDS.

Background: Foreign body inhalation is rare in older children, often leading to underdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Most cases involve a single foreign body, but instances of multiple foreign bodies are exceedingly uncommon. This report presents a case of an elder child who inhaled two pen caps, emphasizing the need for clinical vigilance and thorough medical history collection.

Objective: To retrospectively evaluate the utility of diaphragmatic ultrasound parameters in assessing ventilator weaning outcomes and survival in ventilator-dependent intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
Methods: A total of 105 ventilator-dependent ICU patients admitted to our hospital between October 2019 and February 2024 were included in this study. Depending on weaning outcomes, patients were divided into a successful group (n = 86) and a failure group (n = 19).

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of the SaCo videolaryngeal mask airway (VLMA) in combination with a bronchial blocker in patients undergoing minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 120 patients who underwent minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery from January 2022 to December 2023. Patients were grouped based on their treatment methods: 68 patients who received the SaCo VLMA combined with a bronchial blocker intraoperatively were designated as the L group, while 52 patients who received a tracheal tube combined with a bronchial blocker intraoperatively were designated as the E group.

South Africa was the most affected country in Africa by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, where over 4 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and over 102,000 deaths have been recorded since 2019. Aside from clinical methods, artificial intelligence (AI)-based solutions such as machine learning (ML) models have been employed in treating COVID-19 cases. However, limited application of AI for COVID-19 in Africa has been reported in the literature.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the predictive effectiveness of bedside lung ultrasound score (LUS) in conjunction with rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) and oxygenation index (P/F ratio) for weaning pediatric patients from mechanical ventilation.
Methods: This was a retrospective study. Eighty-two critically ill pediatric patients, who were admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and underwent mechanical ventilation from January 2023 to April 2024, were enrolled in this study.
