Ketones Alleviates COVID-19-related ARDS
In this randomized controlled trial, supplementation with beta-hydroxybutyrate improved inflammatory biomarkers and reduced the length of hospitalization in adults with COVID-19–related acute respiratory distress syndrome... read more
Dexamethasone Systemic Effects in Severe COVID-19
Dexamethasone is the standard of care for critically ill patients with COVID-19, but the mechanisms by which it decreases mortality and its immunological effects in this setting are not understood. Here we perform bulk... read more
Emergency Department Disposition and Mortality in COVID‐19 Patients with ARDS
Compared to direct ICU admission, admission from the ED to the ward is associated with increased mortality in patients who meet COVID‐19 ARDS criteria during their hospitalization, despite lower 4C and similar SAPS‐III... read more
Endothelial Dysfunction and Persistent Inflammation in Severe Post-COVID-19 Patients
Six months after ICU discharge from severe ARDS secondary to COVID-19, patients with gas exchange impairment exhibit evidence of systemic inflammation, along with elevated ICAM-1 levels, ultimately resulting in increased... read more
BARDA Selected Host-directed Therapeutic Candidates to Address ARDS
Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) has selected host-directed therapeutic candidates for inclusion in a phase 2 platform clinical trial to address acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Currently,... read more
Impact of extended lung protection during mechanical ventilation on lung recovery in patients with COVID-19 ARDS
The extended lung protection with strict control of ΔP for moderate to severe ARDS plus deranged mechanics is feasible and could be implemented in this pilot study with some beneficial impact on the recovery of lung function.... read more
Secretomic Approach Value for Distinguishing Patients with COVID-19 Viral Pneumonia Among ICU Patients with Respiratory Distress
In intensive care units, COVID-19 viral pneumonia patients (VPP) present symptoms similar to those of other patients with Nonviral infection (NV-ICU). To better manage VPP, it is therefore interesting to better understand... read more
Incidence of AKI and attributive mortality in ARDS randomized trials
The development of acute kidney injury (AKI) after the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) reduces the chance of organ recovery and survival. The purpose of this study was to examine the AKI rate and attributable mortality... read more
A nomogram predicting pneumonia after cardiac surgery
Three preoperative indicators (age, preoperative malnutrition, diabetes mellitus), one intraoperative indicator (CPB > 135 min) and three postoperative indicators (moderate to severe ARDS, use of ECMO or IABP or CRRT, MV>... read more
Prone Positioning During ECMO for Severe ARDS
The ongoing debate on optimal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) care emphasizes the need for rigorous investigation, acknowledging the value of observational data in routine The PRONECMO study, with its pragmatic... read more
Lung Ultrasound for Diagnosis and Management of ARDS
Lung ultrasonography (LUS) is essential for diagnosing and managing adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to its bedside accessibility and availability across different resource settings. It aids in diagnosis and... read more
Managing the Cerebral Complications of ARDS
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) comprises 10–30% of critical care admissions worldwide. ARDS outcomes have improved secondary to ventilatory strategies that may potentially mitigate ventilator-induced lung injury.... read more
ARDS Guidelines: Oceans Apart or Rivers That Merge?
The updated guidelines from the ATS and ESICM reached overwhelmingly similar conclusions. Both sets of guidelines emphasize the challenges in issuing blanket recommendations that apply to all patients with ARDS, and both... read more
COVID-19 Airway Management and Ventilation Strategy for Critically Ill Older Patients
This book describes the issues and challenges that clinicians encountered in the management of older critically ill patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, and offers practical information on how to manage them. Older... read more
Omadacycline Treatment of Severe Pneumonia Complicated with ARDS During COVID-19
Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has a significant value in the diagnosis of Chlamydia psittaci infection. Timely treatment of omadacycline can improve prognosis and provide a promising new option for the treatment... read more
Clinical Outcomes in Critically Ill COVID-19 Unvaccinated Patients Admitted to the ICU
We analyzed unvaccinated critically ill ICU patients with COVID-19 and interpreted their demographics, clinical characteristics, comorbidities, and laboratory data upon ICU admission for a better understanding of their impact... read more
Extracorporeal Life Support for Adults
This book presents a concise, evidence-based review of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for adult diseases. It describes the use of ECLS with patients who are experiencing severe hypoxemic respiratory failure (ARDS and... read more
