Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a severe infectious disease caused by Aspergillus spp. It is associated with high mortality, particularly in immunocompromised patients, as well as in those with COVID-19 pneumonia... read more
Baricitinib Use in Children with Severe COVID-19 Infection
Baricitinib appears safe for both immunocompetent and immunocompromised children hospitalized for severe COVID-19. Most adverse events did not inhibit therapy administration, and there were no deaths following the initiation... read more
Analgosedation Practice During Noninvasive Respiratory Supports
Sedation is frequently used in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) undergoing Noninvasive Respiratory Supports (NRSs). Current analgesic practices are becoming more standardized, with analgosedation strategies increasingly... read more
Glycemic Control Role in Inflammation Markers and Clinical Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes Patients with Severe COVID-19
This study demonstrates that among hospitalized COVID-19 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, poor glycemic control (HbA1c ≥ 7%) correlates with increased systemic inflammation, greater disease severity, and worse clinical... read more
Management of ARDS COVID-19 Patients Using Hemoperfusion and CRRT
Combined hemoperfusion (HP) and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) hold promise as a potential intervention for severe COVID-19 cases with multiple organ dysfunction, leading to improved clinical outcomes. Fifty-six... read more
Rapid Clinical Effects of Convalescent Plasma Therapy in Severe COVID-19 ARDS
Administration of convalescent plasma (CP) in critically ill COVID-19 patients leads to a rapid and highly significant improvement of sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score along with improvements in respiratory... read more
Extubation in the Operating Room After Elective On-pump CABG Surgery
Although immediate extubation in the operating room following on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery did not show significant differences in ICU or hospital length of stay (LOS), mortality, or ICU readmission... read more
Cytomegalovirus Infection Adverse Impact on ICU Outcomes in COVID-19 Patients
In critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection was frequently observed, and associated with increased ICU and hospital mortality. CMV co-infection correlated with a higher incidence... read more
Bundle of Care Effectiveness on Tolerance of Awake-prone Positioning in ARF Patients
In the evaluated population of patients with COVID-19-related ARF, implementing a bundle-of-care strategy was associated with a longer AW-PP exposure and a reduced risk of endotracheal intubation. In this secondary analysis... read more
