Increasing Sweep Gas Flow Reduces Respiratory Drive and Dyspnea in Nonintubated Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Patients

Authors: Côme Bureau, M.D., Ph.D. et al  Anesthesiology July 2024, Vol. 141, 87–99. Background Data on assessment and management of dyspnea in patients on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiogenic shock are lacking. The hypothesis was that increasing sweep gas flow through the venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenator may decrease dyspnea in nonintubated venoarterial ECMO patients […]

Perioperative Acute Renal Injury

Author: Robert N. Sladen, M.B.Ch.B., M.R.C.P.(U.K.), F.R.C.P.C., F.C.C.M. Anesthesiology May 2024. Background Acute renal dysfunction and subsequent acute renal failure after cardiac surgery are associated with high mortality and morbidity. Early therapeutic or preventive intervention is hampered by the lack of an early biomarker for acute renal injury. Recent studies showed that urinary neutrophil gelatinase–associated […]

Gastric pressure monitoring unveils abnormal patient-ventilator interaction related to active expiration: a retrospective observational study

Authors: Evangelia Akoumianaki, M.D., Ph.D. et al  Anesthesiology May 2024. Background Patient-ventilator dyssynchrony is frequently observed during assisted mechanical ventilation (MV). However, the effects of expiratory muscle contraction on patient-ventilator interaction are underexplored. We hypothesized that active expiration would affect patient-ventilator interaction and we tested our hypothesis in a mixed cohort of invasively ventilated patients […]
