Mechanical ventilation is indeed a lifesaving intervention. However, it is clear that positive pressure ventilation itself has the potential to cause harm. Novel approaches to ventilation aim to minimise this risk, and one such strategy is the incorporation of oesophageal pressure monitoring. Tai Pham is a staff intensivist in Paris and an assistan…

If you’ve worked in ICU for very long, you’ll recognise the scenario where a patient who is weaning from mechanical ventilation goes into pulmonary oedema. This syndrome is referred to as weaning induced pulmonary oedema, or WIPO. Dr Rui Shi currently works as an intensivist in the surgical ICU of the First Affiliated Hospital at Sun Yet Sen Univer…

The ultimate outcome for patients who are resuscitated from cardiac arrest depends heavily on the neurological damage that results from a low flow state. Prevention of further damage during this phase is one of the core goals of post resuscitation care. In recent years, a multitude of research papers have been produced which examine various aspects…

Cardiac arrest causes neurological injury through a sustained period of hypoxia and ischaemia. It has long been thought that avoiding further hypoxia could save vulnerable brain tissue, leading to the common practice of deliberate hyperoxygenation. However, recent research has suggested this approach may in fact be harmful. Paul Young is an Intensi…
