  8. Finding optimal tidal volume in #ARDS
    🫁 is ΔP indicator of unsafe VT & does it directly impact on outcome?
    🫁 what factors can influence CRS + interplay between VT & ΔP?
    We should continue using protective mechanical ventilation but, rather than fixed cut-of (6 ml/kg PBW) it may be more advantageous individualize VT considering multifactorial contribution of ∆P, CRS, ECW, PEEP + regional lung mechanics.

  11. 🧠 🫁 Mitigating/managing cerebral complications of #ARDS?? Clinical decision making must integrate neuromonitoring-guided evaluation & selection of lung protective interventions with consideration of individual patient cerebral physiology. Individualized approach could prevent additional brain injury, improving neurological outcomes in survivors, potentially impact on post-intensive care syndrome outcomes.

  14. Optimizing PEEP in #ARDS, physiological evidence, bedside strategies & clinical applications:
    ❓ why do we apply PEEP?
    🫁 definition of lung recruitability
    🔍 what does the evidence say about PEEP setting?
    🫁 practical & pragmatic approach
    ⚙️ advanced methods
    No one among available options for tailoring PEEP proved to be superior to others... so clinical practice is highly variable; integration into clinical settings may be challenging.

  32. #Albumin Should Be Remembered When Patients With #SepticShock Are Resuscitated

    “Although no significant difference in 28-day mortality rate or 90-day mortality rate was observed between the use of albumin and #crystalloids, #colloids appeared to be more effective than crystalloids in stabilizing hemodynamic end points”

    I couldn't agree more. Sometimes you have to find what to do at the moment. It is safe and may help.
