Examination of ex-vivo lung perfusion in porcine model
Lung transplantation is a lifesaving therapeutic option for a variety of endstage cardiopulmonary conditions. There is a critical mismatch between the availability of suitable lungs and the number of patients awaiting a lung transplant. Ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is an established technique that …

Understanding mechanisms of, and risk factors for, lung injury in the critically ill
Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) can be associated with multiple organ dysfunction, yet the mechanisms underpinning it are unclear. It has been proposed that injurious mechanical ventilation can drive lung and distal organ injury through a process of biotrauma, and this was the focus of my …

Precision Diagnostics of Donor Lungs Ex Vivo
Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is an advanced technology that reconditions donor lungs prior to transplantation. Lung monitoring during EVLP provides isolated lung data without confounding factors from other physiological systems. Herein, we used machine learning modelling to process EVLP diagnostic …

Respiratory complications of organophosphorus pesticide poisoning
… characterised by decreased consciousness, excessive airway secretions and respiratory failure. A combination of these clinical features is the most common cause of death. Up to 30% of OP pesticide poisoned patients are admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for tracheal intubation and …
