Modified lung ultrasound score for improved monitoring of pARDS on ECMO, a case report.

BMC Pediatr

January 2025

Division of Neonatology, Pediatric Intensive Care & Neuropediatrics, Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Comprehensive Center for Pediatrics, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.

Background: Lung ultrasound scoring is a validated tool for assessing lung pathology. However, existing scoring systems typically overlook the size of consolidations, limiting their accuracy in certain clinical scenarios.

Case Presentation: We describe the first application of adding the maximum consolidation depth in centimeters (cm) to the conventional score.

Department of Intensive Care Unit, the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University, Guiyang 550004, Guizhou, China. Corresponding author: Shen Feng, Email:

Objective: To systematically evaluate the impact of aspirin on the pulmonary inflammatory response in animal models of acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS).

Methods: Experimental research on aspirin therapy or prevention of ALI/ARDS in animal models were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library, Embase, China biology medicine, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP. The search time limit was from the establishment of the database to July 17, 2023.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the combined effects of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on pregnancy outcomes, aiming to determine if the combination increases risks compared to having either condition alone.
  • Using data from over 281,000 women who gave birth in Sweden from 1997 to 2015, the researchers analyzed various maternal and neonatal complications through logistic regression.
  • The findings indicate that having GDM presents a higher risk for adverse outcomes than PCOS alone, and there was no significant interaction between the two conditions suggesting that PCOS does not increase the risk beyond GDM alone.

Background: The benefit of Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) therapy in the setting of COVID-19-related ARDS is obscure. We performed a multicenter retrospective study to evaluate the impact of iNO on patients with COVID-19 who require respiratory support.

Methods: This retrospective multicenter study included COVID-19 patients enrolled in the SCCM VIRUS COVID-19 registry who were admitted to different Mayo Clinic sites between March 2020 and June 2022 and required high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), non-invasive ventilation (NIV), or invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV).

Positive end-expiratory pressure management in patients with severe ARDS: implications of prone positioning and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Crit Care

August 2024

Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, University Medical Center Mannheim, Medical Faculty Mannheim, University of Heidelberg, Theodor-Kutzer-Ufer 1-3, 68167, Mannheim, Germany.

The optimal strategy for positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration in the management of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients remains unclear. Current guidelines emphasize the importance of a careful risk-benefit assessment for PEEP titration in terms of cardiopulmonary function in these patients. Over the last few decades, the primary goal of PEEP usage has shifted from merely improving oxygenation to emphasizing lung protection, with a growing focus on the individual pattern of lung injury, lung and chest wall mechanics, and the hemodynamic consequences of PEEP.
