Background Mechanical-ventilation strategies that use lower end-inspiratory (plateau)
airway pressures, lower tidal volumes (V T ), and higher positive end-expiratory pressures (PEEPs…

Background There have been few detailed, in-person interviews and examinations to obtain
follow-up data on 5-year outcomes among survivors of the acute respiratory distress …

Background As more patients survive the acute respiratory distress syndrome, an understanding
of the long-term outcomes of this condition is needed. Methods We evaluated 109 …

ContextThe outcome of patients receiving mechanical ventilation for particular indications
has been studied, but the outcome in a large number of unselected, heterogeneous patients …

Context Trials comparing higher vs lower levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)
in adults with acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have been …

Context Low-tidal-volume ventilation reduces mortality in critically ill patients with acute lung
injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Instituting additional strategies to open …

Context In March 2009, novel 2009 influenza A(H1N1) was first reported in the southwestern
United States and Mexico. The population and health care system in Mexico City …

Background A strategy of mechanical ventilation that limits airway pressure and tidal volume
while permitting hypercapnia has been recommended for patients with the acute respiratory …

… Kessler RC, Andrews G, Colpe LJ, Hiripi E, Mroczek DK, Normand SL, et al. Short screening
scales to monitor population prevalences and trends in non-specific psychological distress. …

Rationale: It is commonly stated that mortality from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
and acute lung injury (ALI) is decreasing. Objectives: To systematically review the …
