OBJECTIVE To analyze the application of functional residual capacity (FRC)-guided optimal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in pulmonary retention in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and to explore the correlation between FRC and trans-pulmonary pressure and their predictive value for prognosis. METHODS Seventy-eight…[Read more]

We found significant predictive relationships between AWS and HDL-C, LDL-C, and triglycerides. While extreme-high HDL-C, (≥100 mg/dL), conferred the highest odds for moderate (4.405, 95% CI, 2.572-7.546, P less then 0.001) and severe AWS (5.494, 95% CI, 3.541-8.523, P less then 0.001), lowest odds ratios for moderate AWS (0.493, 95% CI, 0…[Read more]
