Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) can support gas exchange in patients with the acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). During ECLS, venous blood is drained from a central …

Several factors have been recognized as possible triggers of ventilator-induced lung injury
(VILI). The first is pressure (thus the 'barotrauma'), then the volume (hence the 'volutrauma') …

Disclaimer: The use of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) in
adults has rapidly increased worldwide. This ELSO guideline is intended to be a practical …

Background. General anaesthesia leads to atelectasis, reduced end-expiratory lung volume
(EELV), and diminished arterial oxygenation in obese patients. We hypothesized that a …
