For patients with acute respiratory insufficiency, mechanical ("invasive") ventilation is a fundamental therapeutic measure to ensure sufficient gas exchange. Despite decades of strong research efforts, central questions on mechanical ventilation therapy are still answered incompletely. Therefore, many d...
Tis part II of the guidelines for the diagnosis and management of critical illness-related corticosteroid insufciency (CIRCI) in critically ill patients is related to acute illnesses that may be complicated by CIRCI. We followed
strictly the same methodology as for part I (see Appendix 1 in Supplementary...

Since the first description of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) as a series of 12 patients in 1967 by Ashbaugh
et al.1
, it still remains a major public health problem that incurs
high health care costs and causes major mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU) despite improvements in outcomes...
BACKGROUND: The objective of the Scandinavian Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (SSAI) task force on mechanical ventilation in adults with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is to formulate treatment recommendations based on available evidence from systematic reviews and ...
