Concordance of end-tidal carbon dioxide and arterial carbon dioxide in severe traumatic brain injury.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: It is important for preventing hyperventilation so as to improve the outcomes of patients with severe traumatic brain injuries. End-tidal CO2 (Petco2) reflects arterial CO2 (Paco2), noninvasively and continuously. The aim of this study is ... Read more...


Low tidal volume ventilation in a porcine model of acute lung injury improves cerebral tissue oxygenation.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: In study, we investigated the effects of different tidal volumes on cerebral tissue oxygenation and cerebral metabolism in a porcine model of acute lung injury (ALI). We hypothesized that mechanical ventilation with low tidal (LT) ... Read more...


Combining "open-lung" ventilation and arteriovenous extracorporeal lung assist: influence of different tidal volumes on gas exchange in experimental lung failure.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Although low-tidal ventilation may reduce mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), it can also result in severe respiratory acidosis and lung derecruitment. This study tested the hypothesis that combining "open-lung" ... Read more...
