Prediction Models for Mortality in Patients With Moderate to Severe ARDS Treated in the ICU
ARDS-specific models for outcome prediction could be valuable for informing patients and relatives, for clinical decision-making, for targeted interventions, and for research. A study in CHEST® Critical Care reviewed the available prediction models for moderate to severe ARDS and determined their capacity to predict mortality.
High Respiratory Effort During Invasive Pressure Support Ventilation
High respiratory effort may be common in patients who are invasively ventilated and receiving pressure support ventilation. A study in CHEST® Critical Care analyzed the epidemiologic characteristics of high respiratory efforts in critically ill patients and examined if there was agreement between high respiratory drive and high respiratory effort.
