The latest from ERS on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19
ERS has created a page bringing together all its SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 resources for professionals, including webinars, patient resources and publications
Global burden of COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers
Provision of PPE, placing experienced HCWs mostly in organisational positions, increasing testing, minimising exposure by adjusting shift schedules, and providing food and sleep facilities could be some restorative measures to protect HCWs from COVID-19
Ventilating two patients with one ventilator: technical setup and laboratory testing
With a modified circuit, it is feasible to ventilate two patients with one ventilator over a relevant range of compliances. Adding inspiratory resistance allows individual titration of tidal volume, and incorporating one-way valves prevents pendelluft.
COVID-19 necrotising pneumonia and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a challenge for anticoagulation
ECMO and curative anticoagulation may be associated with severe bleeding events in COVID-19 pneumonia. ECMO and high levels of anticoagulation must be considered with caution in the most severe patients with SARS-CoV-2 necrotising pneumonia.
Quantity and quality of antigravity muscles in patients undergoing living-donor lobar lung transplantation: 1-year longitudinal analysis using chest computed tomography images
The quantity of antigravity muscles in patients undergoing lung transplantation (LTx) will increase within 1 year after LTx. The quality of muscles is important for increase of muscle quantity as well as physical performance.
