The combination of general anaesthesia with low tidal volume and moderate-to-high PEEP reduces post-operative pulmonary complications in the general surgical population.

Bedside lung volume measurement could personalise ventilation and reduce driving pressure in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We investigated a modified gas-dilution method, the inspired sinewave technique (IST), to measure the effective lung volume (ELV) in pigs with uninjured lungs and in an ARDS model. ⋯ IST provides a repeatable measure of absolute ELV and shows minimal bias when tracking PEEP-induced changes in lung volume compared with CT in a saline-lavage model of ARDS.

Recent studies suggest that female researchers are less visible on social media. The objective of this observational work was to compare the use of professional social networks between male and female anaesthesia researchers. ⋯ In anaesthesia, the visibility of female researchers on the social network dedicated to scientific research is lower than that of male researchers.
