nbsp 0183 32 Indirect indices for measuring impaired ventilation such as the estimated dead space fraction and the ventilatory ratio have been shown to be independently associated with an increased risk of mortality This study aimed to compare various methods for dead space estimation and the ventilatory ratio in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome ARDS and to determine their independent...

nbsp 0183 32 In our trial sequential analysis the required diversity-adjusted information size sample size = 2692 patients was not reached and the evidence was insufficient from the available RCTs Among patients with ARDS use of glucocorticoids is associated with a significant reduction in mortality and duration of mechanical ventilation without increased risk of hospital-acquired infections...
