Subcutaneous Hematoma following Subcutaneous Emphysema: An Occult Association

چکیده
Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine ¦ Volume 21 ¦ Issue 9 ¦ September 2017 618 Some evidence suggests that lung‐protective mechanical ventilation (MV) with low‐tidal volume ventilation (LTVV) in addition to positive end‐expiratory pressure (PEEP) could prevent PGD‐induced hypoxemia in the recipients of LT. Nevertheless, these suggestions require further validation in prospective clinical studies.[3] In addition, these strategies of MV could not provide sufficient gas exchange in the episode of refractory hypoxemia. Therefore, because of a lack of clear evidence on how to optimally ventilate and manage patients, the current practices of MV strategy following LT are not based on rigorous evidence[1] and need further investigation.
