Effects of Sevoflurane Inhalation on Pulmonary Hemodynamics in Moderate to Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients With Septic Shock: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Objectives: Our study aimed to investigate the effects of sevoflurane inhalation on mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) and pulmonary vascular resistances (PVRs) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients during lung protective ventilation.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Setting: Medical ICU of a university teaching hospital.

Venous Thromboembolism Events Following Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Based on CT Scans.

Objectives: The main objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of venous thromboembolism events in patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 requiring venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The secondary objective was to compare venous thromboembolism events and coagulation variables in patients requiring venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation according to the pathogen.

Design: Retrospective observational analysis at a single center.

Prevalence and Risk Factors for Thrombotic Complications Following Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A CT Scan Study.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to: 1) analyze the cannula-associated deep vein thrombosis frequency after venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation using a CT scan and 2) identify the associated risk factors for cannula-associated deep vein thrombosis.

Design: Retrospective observational analysis at a single center.

Setting: Tertiary referral university teaching hospital.

Herpes simplex virus and Cytomegalovirus reactivation among severe ARDS patients under veno-venous ECMO.

Background: Herpesviridae reactivation among non-immunocompromised critically ill patients is associated with impaired prognosis, especially during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, little is known about herpes simplex virus (HSV) and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation occurring in patients with severe ARDS under veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We tried to determine the frequency of Herpesviridae reactivation and its impact on patients' prognosis during ECMO for severe ARDS.

Long-term neurocognitive outcome is not worsened by of the use of venovenous ECMO in severe ARDS patients.

Background: Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is associated with a significant morbidity. There is the need to investigate long-term cognitive outcome among ARDS survivors treated with VV-ECMO. We aimed to compare the prevalence of long-term cognitive dysfunction and neuropsychological impairment using a highly specific test in severe ARDS survivors treated or not treated with VV-ECMO.
