Mojoli F, Orlando A, Bianchi I, Torriglia F, Bianzina S, Pozzi M, Iotti GA, Braschi A, PLUG Working Group   Intensive Care Medicine Experimental 2016, 4(Suppl 1):27;597   Introduction: Patient-ventilator asynchronies are associated with poor outcome. It was suggested that bedside analysis of ventilator waveforms may help detecting different types of asynchrony and setting properly […]

Mojoli F, Orlando A, Bianchi I, Torriglia F, Bianzina S, Pozzi M, Iotti GA, Braschi A, PLUS Working Group   Intensive Care Medicine Experimental 2016, 4(Suppl 1):27;595   Introduction: Standard waveforms displayed on the ventilator screen may help detecting whether the ventilator is switching form inspiration to expiration at the right time, thus allowing appropriate […]

This procedure […]

Spadaro S1, Caramori G, Rizzuto C, Mojoli F, Zani G, Ragazzi R, Valpiani G, Dalla Corte F, Marangoni E, Volta CA. Anesth Analg. 2016 Aug 17. [Epub ahead of print] Abstract BACKGROUND: Postoperative pulmonary complications are major causes of postoperative morbidity and mortality. Although several risk factors have been associated with postoperative pulmonary complications, they […]

Mongodi S, Via G, Riccardi M, Tavazzi G, D’Armini AM, Maurelli M, Braschi A, Mojoli F. J Clin Ultrasound. 2016 Jul 22. doi: 10.1002/jcu.22383. Abstract Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a frequent congenital anomaly, but massive right-to-left shunt (RTLS) is normally prevented by higher pressures in left heart chambers. However, mechanical ventilation with positive end-expiratory […]

Spadaro S, Karbing DS, Mauri T, Marangoni E, Mojoli F, Valpiani G, Carrieri C, Ragazzi R, Verri M, Rees SE, Volta CA.   Br J Anaesth. 2016 Jun;116(6):855-61. doi: 10.1093/bja/aew123.   Abstract BACKGROUND: General anaesthesia decreases pulmonary compliance and increases pulmonary shunt due to the development of atelectasis. The presence of capnoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery […]

S. Mongodi, B. Bouhemad, A. Orlando, A. Stella, G. Via, G. Iotti,A. Braschi, F. Mojoli   Crit Care 2016, 20(Suppl.2), 94, P094   Introduction: Lung Ultrasound (LUS) is a validated tool for Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) diagnosis [1] and monitoring[2]. Dynamic linear/arborescent air-bronchogram is specific for VAP. Methods: 2 patients suspected for VAP were examined before and after fiberbronchoscopy […]
