Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a life-threatening inflammatory lung injury causing severe hypoxaemia and high intensive care mortality. Despite decades of research, lung-protective ventilation remains the cornerstone intervention. Emerging evidence on prone positioning, neuromuscular blockade, and novel pharmacotherapies continues to reshape management guidelines.
Airway Management: Protocols Under Review for OHCA and ILD
New protocols are examining ventilation strategies for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and interstitial lung disease, with current best practices unclear.
Oxygen Titration Protocol Reduces Severe Hyperoxemia in ED
A structured oxygen titration protocol in the emergency department significantly reduced the incidence of severe hyperoxemia, improving patient outcomes.
AI Enhances Oxygen Therapy Titration, Reduces Hypoxia Duration
Artificial intelligence algorithms are demonstrating efficacy in automating oxygen therapy titration, potentially reducing episodes of hypoxia and hyperoxia.
Contagion: Acute Respiratory Failure Cases Highlight Ventilator Management
Case reports from ATS 2026 detail acute respiratory failure and immune-mediated lung disease, emphasizing ventilator and extracorporeal support.
Acute Respiratory Failure: Lifespan Phenotypes and Trajectories
Acute respiratory failure (ARF) presents distinct physiological phenotypes and trajectories across pediatric and adult populations, necessitating age-specific management.
Ventilator Management: Foundations for Bedside Implementation
Effective mechanical ventilation requires precise setup and liberation strategies. Practical foundations are essential for optimal patient outcomes.
