Multidisciplinary Collaborative Bundled Care Improves Outcomes in ICU Patients with Endotracheal Intubation
Multidisciplinary analgesic and sedative bundled care has demonstrated the potential to decrease restraint use in patients undergoing endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation, reduce the need for analgesic and sedative... read more
Prediction of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation in the ICU via Machine Learning
Early recognition of risk factors for prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) could allow for early clinical interventions, prevention of secondary complications such as nosocomial infections, and effective triage of hospital... read more
Microbial Dynamics and Pulmonary Immune Responses in COVID-19 Secondary Bacterial Pneumonia
Secondary bacterial pneumonia (2°BP) is associated with significant morbidity following respiratory viral infection, yet remains incompletely understood. In a prospective cohort of 112 critically ill adults intubated... read more
Core Topics in Airway Management
Management of the airway is an important and challenging aspect of many clinicians' work and is a source of complications and litigation. The new edition of this popular book remains a clear, practical and highly-illustrated... read more
A Retrospective Closed Cohort Study on Distribution of Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria in VAP and its Impact on Patient Outcome
Gram-negative organisms, particularly Klebsiella and Acinetobacter, were the main multidrug-resistant (MDR) ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) culprits. MDR-VAP exhibited higher morbidity and mortality. A study... read more
Oxygen Therapy and Noninvasive Respiratory Supports in Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure
Whereas oxygen supplementation should be initiated for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure defined as PaO2 below 60 mm Hg or SpO2 ... read more
Sleep Disturbances Impact on Outcomes in ICU
Complete disappearance of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep was frequently observed in ICUs (50% of patients) and may occur at all times during the ICU stay, as well as in patients breathing spontaneously, after admission or... read more
Optimizing Oxygenation For Tracheal Intubation in Critically Ill Patients
Tracheal intubation (TI) is a common procedure frequently performed in critically ill patients and is an integral part of emergency airway management (EAM). However, it carries inherent risks and can significantly impact... read more
Tracheal Intubation in Critically Ill Adults with a Physiologically Difficult Airway
Using a Delphi method, agreement among a panel of international experts was reached for 53 statements providing guidance to clinicians worldwide on safe tracheal intubation practices in patients with a physiologically difficult... read more
Pressure Support Ventilation During ECMO Support in Patients with ARDS
In the initial phases of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) support for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), ultraprotective controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) is typically employed... read more
Prehospital Treatment of Severely Burned Patients
In the Berlin metropolitan area, paramedics and emergency physicians caring for severely burned patients need to consider long transport times. Current adherence to prehospital treatment recommendations is unsatisfactory.... read more
The Airway Manual: Practical Approach to Airway Management
The book provides up-to-date and easy to understand information on airway management with special emphasis on practical management along with required theory background and key points. It covers all aspects of airway management... read more
Cardiac Arrest During a Ferric Derisomaltose Infusion Followed by Complete Heart Block
Bradycardia and heart block are rarely reported in the parenteral iron literature. Although rare, it may be reasonable to consider parenteral iron as a toxicological etiology for patients presenting with complete heart block... 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
Cardiac Arrest Following Prone Positioning
The complications that can arise from the prone position are often underestimated. Proceduralists, surgeons, and anesthesiologists need to be thoroughly knowledgeable about the common physiological changes that can occur... read more
Noninvasive Ventilation for Preoxygenation during Emergency Intubation
Among critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation, preoxygenation with noninvasive ventilation resulted in a lower incidence of hypoxemia during intubation than preoxygenation with an oxygen mask. Among the 1,301... read more
Risk Factors of Post-intubation Hypotension in Severe Pneumonia Patients
Post-intubation hypotension (PIH) was one of the serious complications after Endotracheal intubation (ETI) in Severe pneumonia (SP) patients. The risk factors of PIH were investigated in SP patients to provide a theoretical... read more
