Purpose: To investigate whether Impulse Oscillometry (IOS) could more effectively monitor children with uncontrolled asthma and evaluate small airway function changes, while establishing a prediction model in combination with fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) to assist in clinical management and treatment of asthmatic children.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 203 asthmatic children who were followed up in our hospital from August 2023 to August 2024. Patients were divided into controlled asthma group (n=80) and uncontrolled asthma group (n=123).

Background: Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a means of supporting the lungs or the heart and lungs in patients with hemodynamic compromise that is refractory to conventional measures. VA-ECMO is most commonly deployed in a percutaneous fashion with femoral arterial and venous access. While VA-ECMO, particularly in a femoral-femoral configuration, provides both hemodynamic and ventilatory support, it also causes increased afterload on the left ventricle (LV) which in turn may result in LV distension (LVD).

Introduction: While proportional ventilator modes have gained popularity in adult patients' ventilatory management, Proportional Assist Ventilation (PAV+) use in pediatric patients with Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (PARDS) remains unexplored. This study aims to evaluate the effects of optimized PSV and PAV+ on patient-ventilator interaction and respiratory pattern in two pediatric simulated lung models.
Methods: The study utilized an active lung simulator to replicate two pediatric lung models: one healthy and one with mild PARDS.

Background: We sought to characterize adaptive changes to the revised UNOS donor heart allocation policy in 2018 and estimate long-term survival trends for heart transplant (HTx) recipients with respect to inotropic support.
Methods: Patients listed for HTx between July 18, 2014, and July 18, 2016 (prepolicy revision) and between October 18, 2018, and October 18, 2020 (postpolicy revision) were identified from the UNOS database. Sub-analyses examined trends in device progression where patients listed on inotropes were later transplanted on inotropes and/or on extracorporeal membranous oxygenator (ECMO), durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD), temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS), or intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP).
