Ferreira, Juliana C.; Ho, Yeh-Li; Besen, Bruno A. M. P.; Malbuisson, Luiz M. S.; Taniguchi, Leandro U.; Mendes, Pedro V.; Costa, Eduardo L. V.OBJECTIVES: We designed a cohort study to describe characteristics and outcomes of patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in the largest public hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as Latin America becomes the epicenter of the pandemic. METHODS: This is the protocol for a study being conducted at an academic hospital in Brazil with 300 adult ICU beds dedicated to COVID-...

Nunes, Liane Brescovici; Mendes, Pedro Vitale; Hirota, Adriana Sayuri; Barbosa, Edzangela Vasconcelos; Maciel, Alexandre ToledoOBJECTIVE: Veno-venous extracorporeal oxygenation for respiratory support has emerged as a rescue alternative for patients with hypoxemia. However, in some patients with more severe lung injury, extracorporeal support fails to restore arterial oxygenation. Based on four clinical vignettes, the aims of this article were to describe the pathophysiology of this concerning problem and to discuss possibilities for h...

Zampieri, Fernando Godinho; Park, Marcelo; Azevedo, Luciano César Pontes; Amato, Marcelo Britto Passos; Costa, Eduardo Leite VieiraOBJECTIVES: Hemodynamic support is aimed at providing adequate O2 delivery to the tissues; most interventions target O2 delivery increase. Mixed venous O2 saturation is a frequently used parameter to evaluate the adequacy of O2 delivery. METHODS: We describe a mathematical model to compare the effects of increasing O2 delivery on venous oxygen saturation through increases in the inspired O2 fraction versus incr...

Park, Marcelo; Azevedo, Luciano Cesar Pontes; Mendes, Pedro Vitale; Carvalho, Carlos Roberto Ribeiro; Amato, Marcelo Brito PassosOBJECTIVES: The aim of this manuscript is to describe the first year of our experience using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. METHODS: Ten patients with severe refractory hypoxemia, two with associated severe cardiovascular failure, were supported using venous-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (eight patients) or veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (two patients). RESULTS: The...
