Imaging the Critically Ill
2022 08 Dec
Imaging is integral to managing critically ill patients in the ICU as it is a key source of diagnostic information to guide clinical decision-making. In recent years, there has been significant evolution in the field of critical care imaging with an increased focus on improving imaging modalities and methodologies and increasing access to imaging...

The Role of Lung Imaging to Personalise Lung Ventilation in ARDS Patients
2022 08 Dec
Computed tomography (CT) remains an invaluable technique to evaluate lung morphology and response to ventilatory strategy and to understand the pathophysiology of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) patients. The first report of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in 1967 described patients with severe hypoxaemia and bilateral... Read more
Extended Prone Positioning for COVID-19 ARDS
2022 12 Jul
COVID-19 has resulted in an estimated 270,000 hospitalisations in ICUs in Europe between May 2020 and March 2022. Nearly 80% of these patients have required tracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation. While there is still an ongoing debate whether acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) physiopathology is the same in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19... Read more
Response to PEEP in COVID-19 ARDS With & Without ECMO
2022 05 Jul
There have been conflicting results concerning lung recruitability of COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and the use of techniques derived from changes in respiratory mechanics and/or gas exchange in response to positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) increase. Various factors may explain the heterogeneity of reports regarding recruitability... Read more
Effect of Prone Position C-ARDS
2022 27 Apr
COVID-19 has resulted in the death of over 4 million people worldwide. In severe cases of COVID-19, acute respiratory infection leads to severe pneumonia, which worries to progress hypoxaemia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Prolonged sessions in the prone position is an effective intervention to decrease mortality in these patients.... Read more

Findings from the COVID-VENT Trial
2022 08 Mar
Many patients with COVID-19-associated acute respiratory failure fulfil the criteria of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and require invasive mechanical ventilation. Therefore, it is important to understand the features of gas exchange abnormalities, respiratory mechanics and lung recruitability in these patients to provide an appropriate... Read more
PICU Patients At-Risk for PARDS
2022 01 Mar
Approximately 2-4% of patients admitted to PICUs suffer from paediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). PARDS has a mortality rate of nearly 20% and has no specific treatment. Identifying children at risk of developing PARDS could potentially result in more targeted therapies to prevent disease progression and improve patient outcomes. ... Read more
ARDS Subphenotypes Using Machine Learning
2022 25 Jan
An observational, multicohort, retrospective study was conducted to validate two machine-learning clinical classifier models for assigning acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) subphenotypes. Two ARDS subphenotypes with distinct biological and clinical features and differential treatment responses have been identified in seven individual cohorts.... Read more
