To the point. Key findings from key papers

Several black arrows pointing to green dot

Milestones in critical care

Medical science never stands still. Researchers across the globe are continually striving to improve technology and the way we treat critically ill patients. Every now and then, one publication amongst the many makes us reconsider and maybe change direction. The article below is the first in our new collection, where we take these watershed papers and get straight to the point ‑ by stripping them back to the key facts and findings and presenting them in a standardized, easy‑to‑digest format. We hope you enjoy it and would love to hear your feedback or comments.

Pes-guided-strategy_ARDS_ECMO_Cropped_16x9

Transpulmonary-pressure guided strategy in severe ARDS treated with VV-ECMO

The authors' point? A Ptp-guided ventilation strategy resulted in a greater proportion of patients with severe ARDS successfully weaned from VV-ECMO when compared to a lung-rest strategy. Read on for more!
173_TTP_Correlation-hysteresis-lung-recruitment

Correlation between the hysteresis of the PV curve and R/I ratio

The authors' point? The normalized maximum distance on a quasi-static PV curve and the recruitment-to-inflation ratio can be used at the bedside as potential indicators of lung recruitability.
174_2024_01_TTP_Depta_2022_BMC-Anesthesiol

Time constant to determine PEEP - A feasible approach?

The authors' point? Using the expiratory time constant instead of inspiratory parameters holds promise as an approach for personalized PEEP titration in patients with ARDS.
