Abstract

The proceedings contain 1300 papers. The topics discussed include: prediction model for nosocomial pulmonary aspiration in patients needing ICU admission; protocol driven management improves outcomes in acute respiratory distress syndrome; respiratory system compliance, plateau pressure and driving pressure during spontaneous assisted breathing: association with clinical outcomes; the effect of using airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) mode on physiological dead space in comparison to biphasic positive airway pressure (BiPAP) mode. A randomized controlled trial; nebulisation during nasal high flow therapy: a randomized clinical trial; comparison of global enddiastolic volume index (GEDVI), extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and cardiac index (CI) derived from transpulmonary thermodiltion (TPTD) during high flow vs. low/no flow ECMO: the heureka-III animal study; and performance comparison of central and peripheral Eadyn for the evaluation of the coupling between left ventricle and arterial system.
