Right ventricle-specific therapies in acute respiratory distress syndrome: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To summarize knowledge and identify gaps in evidence regarding treatment of right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Data sources

We conducted a comprehensive search of MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials.

Study selection

Studies were included if they reported effects of treatments on right ventricular function, whether or not the intent was to modify right ventricular function.

Data extraction

Data extraction was performed independently and in duplicate by two authors. Data items included the study design, patient population, type of intervention, comparison group, and RV-specific outcomes.

Data synthesis

Of 1,430 studies screened, 51 studies
