Recent papers discussed include two large, multicentre, high-positive end-expiratory pressure trials in acute lung injury and reflects upon the usefulness of such trial designs. Further papers considered include the emerging story of beta2-agonists for pulmonary oedema, highlights the newly described, iatrogenic demon, of ventilator-induced diaphragm injury, promotes the addition of B-type natriuretic peptide testing to the prediction of extubation success, and muses again over the oxygen debate.
近期讨论的论文包括两项针对急性肺损伤的大型多中心高呼气末正压试验,并对这类试验设计的实用性进行了反思。其他被考虑的论文包括β2受体激动剂治疗肺水肿的新进展,强调了新描述的医源性问题——呼吸机诱发的膈肌损伤,提倡增加B型利钠肽检测以预测拔管成功率,以及再次思考氧气相关的争论。
