Lung ultrasound is a developing and beneficial method for identifying compromised alveolar air and the presence of interstitial and alveolar fluid. It assesses lung aeration beyond the pleura and can ...

The following is a summary of “Prognostic value of PaO2/FiO2 ratio in predicting clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients,” published in the June 2024 issue of Critical Care by Canto-Costal et al.

The models use maximal deflection of esophageal pressure to quantify HFOT-related breathing effort (ΔPes) and the risk for strong breathing effort (ΔPes >10 cmH2O). Two models have been developed to ...

IPS and VA displays are two of the most common and enduring LCD display types, with years of use in cutting-edge monitors and televisions, and they’re still competing with the likes of modern OLED ...

ABSTRACT: Background: Recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rhTM) was approved for the treatment of disseminated intravascular coagulation in Japan, and rhTM has anti-inflammatory effects.

Calculating the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) is an essential skill for medical professionals, especially in assessing a patient’s respiratory health. This article will provide a ...

The P/F ratio, also known as the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, is a valuable tool for evaluating oxygenation status in critically ill patients. It is commonly used to determine the severity of acute respiratory ...
