Lack of Association between Diaphragm Thickening Fraction and Transdiaphragmatic Pressure Swing in COVID-19 Pneumonia during Helmet Continuous Positive Airway Pressure 2023

Authors: Sergio Lassola, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology May 2023. To the Editor: Recently, evaluation of the diaphragm by means of ultrasound has become popular.  The increase in diaphragm thickness during inspiration (thickening fraction) has been proposed as a noninvasive bedside measure of diaphragm function  although previous studies have reported wide variability between thickening, inspiratory effort, and […]

Tidal Volume, Positive End-Expiratory Pressure, and Postoperative Hypoxemia: Comment 2023

Authors: Aiman Suleiman, M.D., M.Sc.; et al  Anesthesiology May 2023. To the Editor: We read the article by Turan et al.  with great interest and would like to congratulate the authors on conducting this large, important, factorial trial. The authors found that neither a “high” (8 cm H2O) positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), nor a low (6 ml/kg) tidal volume […]

Tidal Volume, Positive End-Expiratory Pressure, and Postoperative Hypoxemia: Reply

Authors: Alparslan Turan, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology May 2023. In Reply: Suleiman et al.  assert that driving pressure and mechanical power (because of increased respiratory rate in low tidal volume groups) may be more important determinants of perioperative lung injury and postoperative pulmonary complications than tidal volume and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). We used a factorial cluster […]
