An Initial Investigation of Diaphragm Neurostimulation in Patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Authors: Mélodie Parfait, MD et al  Anesthesiology December 2023. Background Lung protective ventilation aims at limiting lung stress and strain. By reducing the amount of pressure transmitted by the ventilator into the lungs, diaphragm neurostimulation offers a promising approach to minimize ventilator induced lung injury. This study investigates the physiological effects of diaphragm neurostimulation in […]

Lung Ultrasound Score on Postoperative Day One is predictive of the occurrence of Pulmonary Complications After Major Abdominal Surgery

Authors: Jeremy Boussier, M.D., Ph.D. et al  Anesthesiology December 2023. Background Postoperative pulmonary complications following major abdominal surgery are frequent and carry high morbidity and mortality. Early identification of patients at risk of pulmonary complications by lung ultrasound may allow the implementation of preemptive strategies. We hypothesized that lung ultrasound score would be associated with […]

In vitro model of prepacked carbon dioxide absorber use: development and testing

Authors: Jennifer Jouwena, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology December 2023. Background CO2 absorbers allow the use of fresh gas flows (FGF) below minute ventilation (V̇E). Models are developed and tested in vitro to quantify their performance with variable CO2 load (V̇CO2), FGF, V̇E, end-tidal CO2 fraction (FETCO2), and the type of workstation used. Methods First principles are used to […]
