    Critical asthma in infancy and toddlers: how can we mechanically discriminate from critical bronchiolitis?
    (Wiley, 2024-11-06) Cruces, Pablo; Alcántar, Valentina; Caviedes, Paola; Díaz, Franco
    Asthma in infancy and toddlers has been increasingly recognized, referring to recurrent episodes of wheezing, also in mechanically ventilated children [1]. We analyzed the working pressures of the respiratory system under static conditions in a cohort of infants and toddlers with a discharge diagnosis of critical asthma. Also, we compare them with critical bronchiolitis cohort and anesthetized children without respiratory disease (normal physiology). Finally, we aimed to identify consistent thresholds in lung mechanics to discriminate between these conditions.

    Respiratory system compliance accurately assesses the “Baby Lung” in Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
    (The American Thoracis Society, 2024-04-01) Cruces, Pablo; Reveco, Sonia; Caviedes, Paola; Díaz, Franco
    The concept of the “baby lung” has gained widespread recognition in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and has significantly influenced the principles of protective mechanical ventilation (MV) (1). This concept is rooted in tomographic studies performed in adult patients with ARDS, which revealed the presence of a smaller, normally aerated lung compartment at the end of expiration and normal specific lung elastance. There is a strong correlation between end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) and respiratory system.
