Acute hyperoxia (breathing in 100% oxygen) causes coronary blood vessel narrowing (i.e., vasoconstriction) and raises blood pressure in adults with peripheral artery disease. https://lnkd.in/eq-33QcH
JIM│ How much tidal volume is sufficiently low to be called “protective lung ventilation” Link: https://buff.ly/3R0IITV Ultra-low tidal volume (ULT) is an appealing alternative for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients with the aim to alleviate excess lung stress and strain. In a recent article, Richard and colleagues showed that ULT without extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal did not improve prognosis in moderate-to-severe COVID-19-related ARDS patients (VT4COVID study). However, several reasons should be considered before drawing the definite conclusion about the ULT strategy in severe ARDS. First, the severity of included patients may be not as high as the significantly low PaO2/FiO2 ratio shown at baseline in VT4COVID study due to the dissociation between relatively preserved lung mechanics and the severity of hypoxemia. Second, the benefit effects of ULT on plateau pressure and driving pressure were marginal in VT4COVID study. Third, although mechanical power was significantly reduced after implementing ULT strategy in VT4COVID study, the magnitude was not large enough to translate into mortality benefit possibly due to obvious respiratory rate increase aiming to keep partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide and acid-base state at acceptable level. In conclusion, the results of VT4COVID study provided the important insights of ULT strategy without ECCOR2 in moderate-to-severe COVID-19-related ARDS patients. In ARDS patients with preserved lung mechanics demonstrating low plateau pressure and driving pressure, ULT strategy without ECCOR2 may not be a “Less is More” method in mechanical ventilation.

A #Case of #Septic #Cardiomyopathy A #casereport written by ✍ Antony Macido #Introduction Sepsis includes a life-threatening organ #dysfunction as a result of a dysregulated host response to an infection. #Sepsis can sometimes result in septic #cardiomyopathy, a sequela that is associated with increased mortality in sepsis... #CaseReport A 65-year-old male with a history of #hypertension, coronary artery disease (#CAD), hyperlipidemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (#COPD), and prostate adenocarcinoma with a recent robotic prostatectomy and ileal neobladder construction did present to the emergency department (ED) with #fevers, #chills, #anorexia, and flank pain over the previous 3 days. In the ED, the patient was noticed to be septic with underlying septic shock. The patient was given a dose of intravenous (IV) #ceftriaxone, and #vancomycin. The patient was given 3 liters of IV crystalloids with minimal improvement in #bloodpressure (BP) and persistent low BP that necessitated starting the patient on #norepinephrine and #vasopressin to maintain adequate organ perfusion pressure..... #Discussion The identification of shock secondary to septic #cardiomyopathy is challenging as the presentation mimics other causes of shock specifically if a patient presents with all the #pathognomic signs of septic shock....

📝 Lung Ultrasonography (LUS) in ARDS 📍 LUS aids in diagnosing and managing adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to its non-invasive nature and bedside availability. 📍 It allows clinicians to assess lung disease severity at admission, monitor lung aeration daily, and track lung recovery or disease progression, especially in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. 📍 LUS assessment helps in differentiating between focal and non-focal lung morphology in ARDS patients, providing valuable information for personalized mechanical ventilation strategies.
