Safer ventilation of the injured lung: one step closer
Prevention of iatrogenic injury due to ventilation of a heterogeneous lung requires knowledge of dynamic regional events occurring within the tidal cycle. Quantitative bedside imaging techniques that are sensitive to regional mechanics and tidal events hold potential for information delivery that cannot be realized by pressure-volume monitoring alone.
متن کاملIndependent Lung Ventilation and One Lung Ventilation
The application of the independent lung ventilation (ILV) in adults has been described by Carlon and co-workers in 1978 and subsequently by other investigators. In 1983 Hedenstierna and coworkers using a bilumen tube suitable for prolonged intubation, and two Servo Ventilator 900 B (Siemens) adapted for synchronization, treated a wide range of clinical conditions. Following this experience, the...
متن کاملOne step closer to personalized genomic medicine.
We are rapidly entering an era of personalized genomic medicine. The complete sequencing of the human genome was first announced .9 years ago, and soon afterwards the annotated human genome sequence was available online. Today, DNA analysis that was once considered onerous has become routine. Although not perfect, ‘next-generation’ techniques for rapid and low-cost sequencing have been applied ...
متن کاملOne step closer to understanding poststroke fatigue.
Neurology 2012;79:1414–1415 Pathologic fatigue is common in neurologic disorders and can be defined as “a state of weariness unrelated to previous exertion levels which is usually not ameliorated by rest.”1 A case definition for poststroke fatigue (PSF) has been developed,2 based on this definition,1 to identify clinically important fatigue in stroke survivors.2 The frequency of PSF ranges from...
متن کاملAspergillus PCR: one step closer to standardization.
PCR has been used as an aid in the diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis for almost 2 decades. A lack of standardization has limited both its acceptance as a diagnostic tool and multicenter clinical evaluations, preventing its inclusion in disease-defining criteria. In 2006, the European Aspergillus PCR Initiative was formed. The aim of the initiative was to provide optimal standardized protocols...
