Lung Injury Is a Predictor of Cerebral Hypoxia and Mortality in Traumatic Brain Injury

Background: A major contributor to unfavorable outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is secondary brain injury. Low brain tissue oxygen tension (PbtO2) has shown to be an independent predictor of ...

Exposure to Arterial Hyperoxia During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenator Support and Mortality in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock

Exposure to hyperoxia, a high arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), may be associated with worse outcomes in patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) support. We examined ...

Severity of respiratory failure at admission and in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19: a prospective observational multicentre study

Objectives COVID-19 causes lung parenchymal and endothelial damage that lead to hypoxic acute respiratory failure (hARF). The influence of hARF severity on patients’ outcomes is still poorly ...
