Predictor of Weaning Outcome Using Sonographic Assessment of Post-intubation Laryngeal Obstruction
The study determined that both cuff leak volume and ultrasound-guided LACWD exhibited excellent sensitivity and specificity in predicting clinically significant upper airway blockage post-extubation, with cuff leak volume... read more
Transtracheal Ultrasound as a Preventive Tool for Endotracheal Tube Malpositioning in the ICU
Endotracheal tube (ETT) malpositioning can result in a myriad of complications. Daily chest radiographs (CXR) is the gold standard in monitoring these complications. Point-of-care transtracheal ultrasound (TTUS) is an emerging... read more
The Advanced Ventilator Book
The Advanced Ventilator Book is a companion to the best-selling The Ventilator Book and is written for clinicians who already have a solid foundation in the basics of mechanical ventilation. It goes beyond the ventilator... read more
Factors Associated with Delayed Extubation in Post Cardiac Surgery Patients
The process of extubation is a crucial phase in postoperative care. By comprehending the elements that impact DE, healthcare providers can effectively allocate medical resources to enhance the success of weaning, extubation,... read more
Awake Veno-Venous ECMO in ICU
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced treatment for severe respiratory failure. Implantation of ECMO before invasive ventilation or extubation during ECMO has been reported and is becoming increasingly... read more
Non-invasive Mechanical Ventilation in Critical Care, Anesthesiology and Palliative Care
This book provides an easy, modern and practical way for physicians to approach the world of noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV). Noninvasive ventilation is well-established and increasingly used in routine clinical... read more
Clinical Outcomes of Early Phenotype-Desirable Antimicrobial Therapy for Enterobacterales Bacteremia
This is first study to compare clinical outcomes between patients with E coli, K pneumoniae, K oxytoca, and P mirabilis BSIs receiving early PDAT vs delayed PDAT using DOOR analysis. Receiving early phenotype-desirable... read more
Intubating the Critically Ill Patient: A Step-by-Step Guide for Success in the ED and ICU
Intubating critically ill patients is a process that requires a well-thought-out, step-by-step plan, specific to each patient. This book teaches the steps necessary to predict, prepare, perform, and provide pre and post-intubation... read more
Intubate Patients with Sepsis Before Midnight or When the Time Comes?
The ever-recurring decision for every clinician is to act or not to act and when to act. The balance of benefit or harm of an intervention and the optimal timing of treatment is not always clear. Intervening or not and... read more
New Insights on CRRT for ARDS
In recent times, the applications of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) beyond kidney‐related conditions have been progressively increasing, and its implementation in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) specifically... read more
Single-use vs. Multiple-use Endotracheal Suction Catheters Flushed with Chlorhexidine in Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients
The aim of this feasibility randomized controlled trial (fRCT) is to assess the practicality and impact of using single-use versus multiple-use endotracheal suction catheters flushed with chlorhexidine on the incidence of... read more

Mechanical Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in the COVID-19 Pandemic Era
The most common pathogens isolated in our ventilator-vssociated pneumonia (VAP) patients were Acinetobacter spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus. Resistance to the major classes... read more
Ventilator-associated Lung Disease: A Complex Reality in the ICU
Mechanical ventilation, by tracheal intubation or tracheostomy, is the common supplementary treatment for several reasons for hospitalization. Since the advent of long-term mechanical ventilation during the polio epidemic. In... read more
Invasive Mechanical Ventilation Strategies For ICU Patients with COVID-19
Lung protective ventilation and prone positioning were used in many of the Danish ICU patients with COVID-19, but barotrauma, prolonged ventilation and death occurred frequently. A total of 774 patients were invasively... read more
7-day Fluid Balance Associated with Poor Outcomes
The net fluid balance in patients with sepsis 7 days following ICU administration was significantly related to mortality during hospitalization. Specifically, a 7-day fluid balance > 5,240 mL was associated with poor... read more
