- Comparing the Efficacy of Negative-Pressure Ventilation to Noninvasive, Positive-Pressure Ventilation in Children With Acute Respiratory Failure. [Journal Article]Respir Care. 2026 Oct 07; :19433654261486084. [Online ahead of print]RC
- CONCLUSIONS: In this multi-center retrospective cohort, NPV was used in a small minority of children younger than 3 years with acute respiratory failure. After adjustment for measured confounders and center-level clustering, ventilation modality was not independently associated with intubation. Prospective studies are needed to define optimal patient selection and the role of NPV in pediatric acute respiratory failure.

- CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates an AI-based clustering analysis of snoring patterns can be used to evaluate OSA severity. The snoring pattern analysis can also be an additional screening tool for OSA.

- The Response of Dorsal Lung Compliance to Prone Positioning Differs by Body Mass Index in ARDS. [Journal Article]Respir Care. 2026 Sep 23; :19433654261487238. [Online ahead of print]RC
- CONCLUSIONS: Prone positioning was associated with a greater increase in dorsal lung compliance in subjects with BMI ≥35 kg/m[2] compared with subjects with BMI <30 kg/m[2]. Our findings suggest that the response of regional compliance to prone positioning in ARDS differs by body mass index, identifying obesity as a population in whom positional unloading may be more effective.

- Drug Delivery via Vibrating Mesh Nebulizer With Symmetrical and Asymmetrical High Flow Nasal Cannulas in an Adult Model. [Journal Article]Respir Care. 2026 Sep 17; :19433654261481604. [Online ahead of print]RC
- CONCLUSIONS: The asymmetrical cannula improved aerosol delivery compared with the symmetrical cannula during quiet breathing with low VT. During distressed breathing, however, the symmetrical cannula was more efficient, regardless of VT. Thus, the asymmetrical and symmetrical cannulas may be selected for drug delivery via a vibrating mesh nebulizer with an HFNC in patients with quiet and distressed breathing, respectively.

- CONCLUSIONS: Structured ICU physiotherapy and early mobilization were associated with shorter duration of invasive ventilation, fewer neuromuscular complications, better functional recovery, and lower 180-day mortality; given the before-after design, these are associations, not causal effects.

- Transpulmonary Driving Pressure, End-Expiratory Transpulmonary Pressure, and Mortality in Pediatric ARDS. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: In children with ARDS, higher ΔPL was independently associated with 28-day mortality. Lower PL,EE provided complementary prognostic information, and the combination of elevated ΔPL and reduced PL,EE suggested a high-risk mechanical profile. Prospective validation of these exploratory thresholds is required before clinical implementation.
