Objective: In critically ill patients, a decrease in whole body oxygen consumption under hyperoxia has been reported and this could be related to hyperoxia-induced arterial changes. We investigated changes in brachial artery circulation and tone during short-term hyperoxic ventilation in septic patients.
Design And Setting: Prospective clinical study in the intensive care unit of a university hospital.
Patients: Fourteen patients (severe sepsis n=3 and septic shock n=11) requiring mechanically controlled ventilation due to sepsis syndrome were investigated under stable clinical conditions.
Interventions: After a 20-min period of hyperoxic ventilation (inspired oxygen fraction = 100%), two-dimensional images of brachial artery cross-sectional area and brachial blood flow velocities were recorded using conventional ultrasonography and pulsed Doppler simultaneously with invasive arterial pressure measurements.
Measurements And Main Results: Hyperoxia did not affect heart rate, but increased mean arterial pressure and decreased cross-sectional areas both at the end of diastole and at the end of systole. Haemodynamic study showed an increase in resistance index, and a decrease in distensibility and compliance coefficients. Furthermore, a decrease in brachial artery blood flow and arterial oxygen delivery was observed during hyperoxic exposure.
Conclusions: Hyperoxia was paradoxically demonstrated to decrease oxygen delivery in upper limbs during septic shock.

Background: In recent years, the survival rate of preterm infants has significantly improved due to the application of pulmonary surfactant (PS) and advancements in lung-protective mechanical ventilation strategies. However, this has been accompanied by an increased incidence of complications, particularly lung diseases triggered by elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by hyperoxia. The primary mechanism of hyperoxic lung injury (HLI) involves the excessive production of ROS within cells and the aggregation of inflammatory cells.

Postural fluid shifts may directly affect respiratory control via a complex interaction of baro- and chemo-reflexes, and cerebral blood flow. Few data exist concerning the steady state ventilatory responses during head-down tilt. We examined the cardiorespiratory responses during acute 50° head-down tilt (HDT) in 18 healthy subjects (mean [SD] age 27 [10] years).

Article Synopsis
- Intestinal dysbiosis in preterm babies is linked to conditions like necrotising enterocolitis and late-onset sepsis, and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation may negatively influence gut bacterial growth.
- A study using high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing found that transitioning from respiratory support to spontaneous breathing in preterm infants led to increased bacterial diversity and changes in specific gut bacteria.
- The findings suggest that non-invasive positive pressure ventilation may suppress gut microbiome diversity and anaerobic bacteria, highlighting the need for strategies to promote a healthy gut microbiome in preterm infants.

Background: Premature infants requiring mechanical ventilation and supplemental oxygen for respiratory support are at increased risk for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), wherein inflammation have been proposed as a driver of hyperoxia-induced injuries, including persistent loss of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), impaired vascularization and eventual alveolar simplification in BPD lungs. However, the underlying mechanisms linking these phenomena remain poorly defined.
Methods: We used clodronate liposomes to deplete macrophages in a mouse model of neonatal hyperoxia-induced lung injury to evaluate if EPC loss in BPD lungs could be an effect of macrophage infiltration.
Role of the peripheral chemoreceptors in cardiovascular and metabolic control in type 2 diabetes.

Preclinical work supports a role for the peripheral chemoreceptors in the progression of cardiovascular and metabolic pathologies. In the present study, we examined peripheral chemosensitivity in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the contribution of the peripheral chemoreceptors to resting cardiovascular and metabolic control. We hypothesized that: (1) adults with T2D exhibit exaggerated peripheral chemoreflex sensitivity; (2) the peripheral chemoreceptors contribute to cardiovascular dysfunction in T2D; and (3) attenuation of peripheral chemoreceptor activity improves glucose tolerance in T2D.
