[The value of prone position lung ultrasound examination in predicting the prognosis of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome receiving prone ventilation].
To investigate the value of prone position lung ultrasound examination (PLUE) in monitoring the prone position during and predicting the outcome of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) patients. ⋯ Bedside lung ultrasound is valuable in evaluating the ASV during the prone position in ARDS patients. The three hours PLUE can predict the outcome of ARDS patients such as validity of prone position and free of ventilation in Day 7. The value of predicting the mortality needs further investigation.

Randomized Controlled Trial[The effects of prone position ventilation combined with recruitment maneuvers on outcomes in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome].
To evaluate the effects of prone position ventilation combined with recruitment maneuvers (RM) on clinical outcomes in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ⋯ In patients with severe ARDS, application of prolonged prone-positioning with RM sessions significantly improves the clinical outcomes.

Comparative Study[The clinical characteristics of systemic sclerosis-related pulmonary arterial hypertension].
To study the clinical, cardiopulmonary functional and hemodynamic profiles of systemic sclerosis patients with pulmonary hypertension (SSc-PAH) compared with those of idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (IPAH). ⋯ Under the similar hemodynamic condition, SSc-PAH patients had more severe restrictive ventilation dysfunction and diffusion capacity dysfunction. Decreased 6MWD in SSc-PAH patients was probably related to the impairment of pulmonary function.

[The role of end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure in fluid responsiveness assessment in septic shock patient].
To assess whether end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PETCO2) can predict the fluid responsiveness in septic shock patients. ⋯ The changes of PETCO2 induced by a fluid challenge test can predict fluid responsiveness with reliability, and have a better sensitivity and specificity than the changes of PP.
