Francesco Mojoli, Francesca Torriglia, Anita Orlando, Isabella Bianchi, Eric Arisi, Marco Pozzi Ann Transl Med 2018;6(19):377 Abstract: Transpulmonary pressure, that is the difference between airway pressure (Paw) and pleural pressure, is considered one of the most important parameters to know in order to set a safe mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients […]
Mojoli F, Bouhemad B, Mongodi S, Lichtenstein D. Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2018 Oct 29. doi: 10.1164/rccm.201802-0236CI. Abstract Point-of-care ultrasound is increasingly used at the bedside to integrate the clinical assessment of the critically ill; in particular, lungultrasound greatly developed in the last decade. This review describes basic lung ultrasound signs and focuses on their applications in critical […]
By A. Orlando – White paper Background Asynchronies are a frequent issue in ventilated patients. They represent a mismatch between the inspiratory and expiratory times of patient and ventilator, and thus a failure to provide ventilated patients with optimal assistance. This results in prolonged mechanical ventilation, difficult wean-ing, reduced patient comfort, an increased risk of diaphragmatic […]

Crit Care Med. 2018 Jul 25. doi: 10.1097/CCM.0000000000003340 Abstract OBJECTIVES: Lung ultrasound is commonly used to evaluate lung morphology in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Aim of this study was to determine lung ultrasound reliability in […]
M Luperto, M Bouard, S Mongodi, F Mojoli, B Bouhemad Critical Care 2018, 22(Suppl 1):P211 Introduction: Diaphragm ultrasound (DUS) easily identifies diaphragmatic dysfunction (DD) in ICU patients [1], a potential cause of weaning failure (WF). Methods: Prospective observational monocenter study. We enrolled adults ICU patients at day 1 after surgery, extubated, with no neuromuscolar diseases. […]
Lluís Blanch, Jean-Michel Arnal, Francesco Mojoli ICU Management & Practice, Volume 18 – Issue 1, 2018 Dr. Lluís Blanch, Dr. Jean-Michel Arnal and Prof. Francesco Mojoli discuss why patient-ventilator synchrony is important, how to detect asynchronies, and technical solutions for optimising synchronisation. Report on the Hamilton Medical symposium, LIVES 2017, Vienna, Austria, 26 September […]

F. Mojoli, S. Mongodi ICU Management & Practice. 2017;17(3):186-9. In the last years, ultrasound (US) became an essential tool in the hands of the intensivist and is now recommended both for procedural guidance and diagnostic purposes. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an immediately available and repeatable, non-irradiating bedside tool integrating the clinical examination. While echocardiography […]
