Computed tomographic assessment of lung aeration at different positive end-expiratory pressures in a porcine model of intra-abdominal hypertension and lung injury
Intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) is common in critically ill patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. High positive end-expiratory pressures (PEEP) can reverse lung volume and oxyge... (Source: Intensive Care Medicine Experimental)

Evaluation of a simultaneous adsorption device for cytokines and platelet –neutrophil complexes in vitro and in a rabbit acute lung injury model
Platelet –neutrophil complexes (PNCs) readily migrate into tissues and induce tissue damage via cytokine or other pathogenic factors release. These actions are involved in onset and progression of acute respira... (Source: Intensive Care Medicine Experimental)

Interstitial washdown and vascular albumin refill during fluid infusion: novel kinetic analysis from three clinical trials
Increased capillary filtration may paradoxically accelerate vascular refill of both fluid and albumin from the interstitial space, which is claimed to be edema-preventing. We characterized this proposed mechan... (Source: Intensive Care Medicine Experimental)
