• Brief review: Ergospirometry in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome 

      Stavrou V., Bardaka F., Karetsi E., Daniil Z., Gourgoulianis K.I. (2018)
      This brief review summarizes the available literature on the intersection of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and ergospirometry. Ergospirometry provides an assessment of integrative exercise responses involving ...
    • Changes in dynamic lung mechanics after lung volume reduction coil treatment of severe emphysema 

      Makris D., Leroy S., Pradelli J., Benzaquen J., Guenard H., Perotin J.-M., Zakynthinos S., Zakynthinos E., Deslee G., Marquette C.H. (2018)
      We assessed the relationships between changes in lung compliance, lung volumes and dynamic hyperinflation in patients with emphysema who underwent bronchoscopic treatment with nitinol coils (coil treatment) (n=11) or ...
    • Neuromuscular Blockade in the Pre- and COVID-19 ARDS Patients 

      Tsolaki V., Zakynthinos G.E., Papadonta M.-E., Bardaka F., Fotakopoulos G., Pantazopoulos I., Makris D., Zakynthinos E. (2022)
      Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) accounts for a quarter of mechanically ventilated patients, while during the pandemic, it overwhelmed the capacity of intensive care units (ICUs). Lung protective ventilation (low ...
    • Simulation to minimise patient self-inflicted lung injury: are we almost there? 

      Tsolaki V., Zakynthinos G.E. (2022)
      Computational modelling has been used to enlighten pathophysiological issues in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) using a sophisticated, integrated cardiopulmonary model. COVID-19 ARDS is a ...
