Simple Summary Recently, several studies have shown that acidosis, which is increased
acidity in the blood and other body tissues, is often associated with severe COVID-19. In this …

Recent advances in VCap and our improved understanding of its clinical implications may
help in overcoming the known limitations and reluctances to include expired CO 2 kinetics …

BACKGROUND: We conducted this study to determine whether pulse oximetry and
volumetric capnography (VCap) can determine the opening and closing pressures of lungs …

Background Homogeneous ventilation is important for prevention of ventilator-induced lung
injury. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has been used to identify optimal PEEP by …

Innovations in surgery have significantly increased the number of procedures performed
every year. While more individuals benefit from better surgical techniques and technology, a …

Capnography is a first line monitoring system in mechanically ventilated patients. Volumetric
capnography supports noninvasive and breath-by-breath information at the bedside using …

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a lifesaving supportive intervention in the management of
acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), buying time while the primary precipitating …

The aim of this study was to determine typical values for non-invasive volumetric
capnography (VCap) parameters for healthy volunteers and anesthetized individuals. VCap …

Essentially all patients with acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS) require mechanical ventilatory assistance to support gas exchange and reduce the …

BACKGROUND: We sought to determine whether the response of pulmonary elimination of
CO 2 (V co 2) to a sudden increase in positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) could predict …
