Bianzina S, Cornara P, Rodi G, Tavazzi G, Iotti GA, Mojoli F, Braschi A   Intensive Care Medicine Experimental 2016, 4(Suppl 1):27;116   Introduction: Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disorder characterized by a perturbation in surfactant homeostasis, resulting in its accumulation within alveolar spaces, with a consequent development of severe hypoxemia. Whole lung lavage (WLL) is a complex […]

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 […]

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 […]
