Background: Reduced haemocompatibility and early filter failure during continuous venovenous haemofiltration (CVVH) can be attributed to various aspects from filter engineering to rheological problems. Still, little is known about the impact of acidaemia and hypoxaemia on the haemocompatibility of a CVVH. In a porcine model, we investigated blood and coagulation parameters, filter performance and blockage of filter capillaries to assess the impact of acidaemia and hypoxaemia on haemocompatibility.
Methods: Pigs were assigned to three groups (n = 6). One group received mixed acidaemia (pH 7.2) by acid infusion (0.2 M of lactic acid and 0.2 M HCl diluted in normal saline) and low tidal volume ventilation (6-8 mL/kg(-)(1)), one group underwent an additional hypoxaemia (pH 7.2; PaO(2) < 70 mmHg) and another was treated with normal saline and normoventilation (control group; pH 7.4). To accelerate biocompatibility reactions, CVVH was operated with reinfusion of the filtrate to the venous line for 3 h based on standardized heparinization.
Results: Acidaemia led to a contradictory pattern with respect to prothrombin time (prolongation), activated partial thrombin time and activated clotting time (acceleration). In comparison to normal pH homeostasis, acidaemia led to increasing activation markers such as terminal complement complex marker sC5b-9, thrombin-anti-thrombin complexes (TAT) and D-dimers. Additional hypoxaemia intensified activation with regard to TAT and complement complex marker sC5b-9. Platelet counts suffered from acidaemia and a tendency for higher rates of blocked hollow fibres was found.
Conclusion: Acidaemia led to deteriorated haemocompatibility reactions to a CVVH circuit. The coagulation pattern developed towards complications for the coagulatory state.

Early noninvasive ventilation in general wards for acute respiratory failure: an international, multicentre, open-label, randomised trial.

Background: The impact of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) managed outside the intensive care unit in patients with early acute respiratory failure remains unclear. We aimed to determine whether adding early NIV prevents the progression to severe respiratory failure.
Methods: In this multinational, randomised, open-label controlled trial, adults with mild acute respiratory failure (arterial oxygen partial pressure/fraction of inspiratory oxygen [Pao/FiO] ratio ≥200) were enrolled across 11 hospitals in Italy, Greece, and Kazakhstan.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is initiated by a primary insult that triggers a cascade of pathological events, including damage to lung epithelial and endothelial cells, extracellular matrix disruption, activation of immune cells, and the release of pro-inflammatory mediators. These events lead to increased alveolar-capillary barrier permeability, resulting in interstitial/alveolar edema, collapse, and subsequent hypoxia and hypercapnia. ARDS not only affects the lungs but also significantly impacts the cardiovascular system.

Fetal hypoxemia is ubiquitous during labor and, when severe, is associated with perinatal death and long-term neurodevelopmental disability. Adverse outcomes are highly associated with barriers to care, such that developing countries have a disproportionate burden of perinatal injury. The prevalence of hypoxemia and its link to injury can be obscure, simply because the healthy fetus has robust coordinated defense mechanisms, spearheaded by the peripheral chemoreflex, such that hypoxemia only becomes apparent in the minority of cases associated with stillbirth, severe metabolic acidemia or adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Rationale: For critically ill adults receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, the ventilator mode determines how breaths are delivered. Whether the choice of ventilator mode affects outcomes for critically ill patients is unknown. To compare the effects of three common ventilator modes (volume control, pressure control, and adaptive pressure control) on death and duration of mechanical ventilation.
