Comment on Grasso et al.: ECMO criteria for influenza A (H1N1)-associated ARDS: Role of transpulmonary pressure

摘要

We read with great interest the article by Grasso and co-workers entitled "ECMO criteria for influenza A (HlNl)-associated ARDS: role of transpulmonary pressure" [1]. We agree that in patients with severe ARDS chest wall compliance should be taken into consideration before decision making for ECMO. However, in their Table 4, Grasso et al. do not cite the correct numbers for the P/F ratio from our case series.
