To examine mortality associations with transpulmonary driving pressure and end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure in pediatric ARDS.
Approach:
Patient Assessment: 176 patients were assessed for eligibility; 22 were excluded, leaving 154 patients included in the final analysis.
Key Findings:
The study found associations between transpulmonary driving pressure and end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure with mortality in pediatric ARDS patients.
Interpretation:
The article’s updated version has been published with a corrected Figure 1.
Limitations:
The study may have limitations related to sample size and generalizability due to the specific patient population.
Conclusion:
The findings suggest that transpulmonary pressures may be important indicators of mortality risk in pediatric ARDS.
