In patients intubated for hypoxemic acute respiratory failure (ARF) related to novel
coronavirus disease (COVID-19), we retrospectively compared two weaning strategies, early …

BACKGROUND: The assessment of diaphragmatic kinetics through tissue Doppler imaging
(dTDI) was recently proposed as a means to describe diaphragmatic activity in both healthy …

Background Esophageal balloon calibration was proposed in acute respiratory failure patients
to improve esophageal pressure assessment. In a clinical setting characterized by a high …

Background Driving pressure can be readily measured during assisted modes of ventilation
such as pressure support ventilation (PSV) and neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA). …

Tissue Doppler sonographic assessment of diaphragmatic excursion kinetics is depicted in
Fig. 1. At bedside, with patient in 30-semi-recumbent position, using an ultrasound machine …

Purpose Optimal esophageal balloon filling volume (V best ) depends on the intrathoracic
pressure. During Sigh breath delivered by the ventilator machine, esophageal balloon is …

Oesophageal balloon calibration improves the oesophageal pressure (Pes) assessment
during invasive controlled mechanical ventilation. The primary aim of the present investigation …

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) has never been applied in patients recovering
from acute brain injury (ABI) because neural respiratory drive could be affected by intracranial …

We present here the synthesis, crystal structure, electrochemical behavior, spectroscopic
properties (FT-IR, UV–Vis and EPR), nuclease and in vitro antitumor activities against human …

[en] Banana pith was characterized by Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy and
Scanning Electron Microscopy, and investigated as a low cost bio sorbent for the removal of …
