Multicenter Study Observational StudyOxygen management in mechanically ventilated patients: A multicenter prospective observational study.
To observe arterial oxygen in relation to fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) during mechanical ventilation (MV). ⋯ In our multicenter prospective study, we found that hyperoxemia was common and that hyperoxemia was not corrected.

To describe the diversity in practice in non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in European pediatric intensive care units (PICUs). ⋯ The present study shows that NIV is a widespread technique in European PICUs. Practice across Europe is variable.

The aim of this bench study was to investigate the performances of 8 devices for noninvasive CPAP. ⋯ We found a significant variation in the performances of the 8 CPAP devices examined in this study. The technical characteristics and limitations of different CPAP devices should be considered when using in patients with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Practice of mechanical ventilation in cardiac arrest patients and effects of targeted temperature management: A substudy of the targeted temperature management trial.
Mechanical ventilation practices in patients with cardiac arrest are not well described. Also, the effect of temperature on mechanical ventilation settings is not known. The aims of this study were 1) to describe practice of mechanical ventilation and its relation with outcome 2) to determine effects of different target temperatures strategies (33 °C versus 36 °C) on mechanical ventilation settings. ⋯ In the majority of the cardiac arrest patients, protective ventilation settings are applied, including low tidal volumes and driving pressures. High respiratory rate was associated with mortality. TTM33 results in lower end-tidal CO2 levels and a higher alveolar dead space fraction compared to TTTM36.
