    • Dead space ventilation-related indices bedside tools to evaluate the ventilation and perfusion relationship in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome
    Authors: Mingjia, Zheng;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Cumulative evidence has demonstrated that the ventilatory ratio closely correlates with mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and a primary feature in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-ARDS is increased dead space that has been reported recently. Thus, new attention has been given to this group of dead space ventilation-related indices, such as physiological dead space fraction, ventilatory ratio, and end-tidal-to-arterial PCO2 ratio, which, albeit distinctive, are all global indices with which to assess the relationship between ventilation and perfusion.
    • Electric impedance tomography-guided PEEP titration reduces mechanical power in ARDS: a randomized crossover pilot trial
    Authors: Jose Victor, Jimenez; Elizabeth, Munroe; Andrew J., Weirauch;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome undergoing mechanical ventilation, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can lead to recruitment or overdistension. Current strategies utilized for PEEP titration do not permit the distinction. Electric impedance tomography (EIT) detects and quantifies the presence of both collapse and overdistension. We investigated whether using EIT-guided PEEP titration leads to decreased mechanical power compared to high-PEEP/FiO2 tables.
    • Intra-abdominal hypertension in cardiac surgery patients a multicenter observational sub-study of the Accuryn registry
    Authors: Ashish K., Khanna; Steven, Minear; Andrea, Kurz;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is frequently present in the critically ill and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Conventionally, intermittent ‘spot-check’ manual measurements of bladder pressure in those perceived as high risk are used as surrogates for intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). True patterns of IAH remain unknown. We explored the incidence of IAH in cardiac surgery patients and describe the intra-and postoperative course of IAP using a novel, high frequency, automated bladder pressure measurement system.
    • Prognostic models for mortality risk in patients requiring ECMO
    Authors: Lara C. A., Pladet; Jaimie M. M., Barten; Lisette M., Vernooij;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    To provide an overview and evaluate the performance of mortality prediction models for patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for refractory cardiocirculatory or respiratory failure.
    • Intraoperative hypothermia in the neonate population: risk factors, outcomes, and typical patterns
    Authors: Man-Qing, Zhang; Peng-Dan, Ying; Yu-Jia, Wang;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    The risk factors, outcomes, and typical patterns of intraoperative hypothermia were studied in neonates to better guide the application of insulation measures in the operating room. This retrospective study enrolled 401 neonates undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia with tracheal intubation, including abdominal surgery, thoracic surgery, brain surgery, and others. The study collected basic characteristics, such as age, sex, weight, birth weight, gestational week, primary diagnosis and American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) grade.
