Supporting patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), remains a critical challenge in intensive care units (ICUs). Balancing gas exchange while minimizing Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury ...

Conclusion (s): The small adult bag (1,000 ml) leads to smaller tidal volumes than recommended for an average adult male; and (2) although the training tool (+ flow-limiting device) led to a near ...

Recently these monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages, or Mo-AMs, were identified as key drivers of lung fibrosis disease progression. However, the mechanisms of their pro-fibrotic behavior and ...

When Brendan Leier lay down for his first guided breathwork session over Zoom, he settled into a breathing rhythm, keeping a fast pace with the music the instructor was playing. As the session ...

Mechanical ventilation may be harming lungs more than helping. Tulane researchers discovered that tiny air sac collapses cause damage linked to ARDS, but tweaking ventilation techniques could prevent ...

The editor’s pick for this issue is a review article discussing the promise of hyperpolarised xenon MRI, a non-invasive imaging technique used in respiratory medicine to assess lung function, ...

High-intensity noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) might have reduced need for endotracheal intubation for persistent hypercapnia during acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive ...
