Plateau Pressure and Driving Pressure in Volume- and Pressure-Controlled Ventilation: Comparison of Frictional and Viscoelastic Resistive Components in Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
To examine frictional, viscoelastic, and elastic resistive components, as well threshold pressures, during volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) and pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) in pediatric patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ⋯ P PLAT , ΔP, and tPEEP can guide clinical decisions independent of the ventilatory mode. The modest purely frictional resistive component emphasizes the relevance of maintaining the same safety limits, regardless of the selected ventilatory mode. Therefore, peak inspiratory flow should be studied as a mechanism of ventilator-induced lung injury in pediatric ARDS.

Prevalence and factors associated with neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome among neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care units of Gurage zone public hospital, South West Ethiopia.
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is the leading cause of respiratory failure and death of a neonate in today's world, especially in developing countries like Ethiopia. ⋯ the prevalence of RDS in the study area was high. Thus, healthcare providers should act on those factors with appropriate follow-up for early detection of the problem and prevent the risk.

The outcome of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation in pediatric patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome in an intensive care unit.
In adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) has been associated with higher mortality rates. Therefore, its use in children with ARDS is still controversial. ⋯ Retrospective single-center study.

The September 2023 issue and this year has already proven to be important for improving our understanding of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS); Pediatric Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) has published 16 articles so far. Therefore, my three Editor's Choice articles this month highlight yet more PCCM material about PARDS by covering the use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV), the trajectory in cytokine profile during illness, and a new look at lung mechanics. The PCCM Connections for Readers give us the opportunity to focus on some clinical biomarkers of severity and mortality risk during critical illness.
