RECOVERY-RS trial finds CPAP reduces need for invasive ventilation in hospitalised COVID-19 patients
The NIHR-supported Respiratory Strategies in COVID-19; CPAP, High-flow, and Standard Care (RECOVERY-RS) trial has demonstrated that treating hospitalised COVID-19 patients who have acute respiratory failure with continuous... read more
Cystic Fibrosis in the COVID-19 Pandemic
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and the development of life-threatening COVID-19 are believed to disproportionately affect certain at-risk populations. However, it is not clear whether... read more
Progressive Increase in Virulence of COVID-19 Variants
The progressive increase in transmissibility and virulence of SARS-CoV-2 VOCs will result in a significantly larger, and more deadly, pandemic than would have occurred in the absence of variants of concern (VOC) emergence. The... read more
Intubation Timing As Determinant Of Outcome in Patients with ARDS By COVID-19 Infection
In COVID-19 patients, late intubation, Pafi ... read more
Higher ICU Sepsis Case Volume Associated with Significantly Lower Hospital Mortality
In this cohort study of 273,001 patients with sepsis at 231 ICUs in the UK, a higher annual sepsis case volume in the ICU was associated with significantly lower hospital mortality, and this association had no significant... read more
Reliability of Mechanical Ventilation During Continuous Chest Compressions
All investigated transport ventilators were able to provide alveolar ventilation even though chest compressions considerably decreased tidal volumes. Our results support the concept of using ventilators to avoid excessive... read more
Intensive care–treated cardiac arrest: a retrospective study on the impact of extended age on mortality, neurological outcome, received treatments and healthcare-associated costs
The elderly ICU-treated CA patients in this study had worse neurological outcomes, higher mortality and lower cost-effectiveness than younger patients. Elderly received less intense treatment. Further efforts are needed... read more
COVID-19: a boost for intensive care authorship?
Almost 180 million cases of COVID-19 have been diagnosed, with almost 4.000.000 deaths. Since this pandemic had unprecedented worldwide healthcare and socio-economic effects, the scientific world is under exceptional pressure... read more
Severe Neonatal Hypernatremia
Neonatal hypernatraemia at this level, in this population, is strongly associated with weight loss. It occurs almost exclusively after attempts to initiate breast feeding, occurs uncommonly and does not appear to be associated... read more
Multi-task Prediction of Organ Dysfunction in ICUs
The intensive care unit (ICU) of a hospital looks after the most medically vulnerable patients, many of whom require organ support, such as mechanical ventilation or dialysis. While always critical, the demand on ICU services... read more
COVID-19 Restructures the Host Chromatin Architecture
SARS-CoV-2 has made >190-million infections worldwide, thus it is pivotal to understand the viral impacts on host cells. Many viruses can significantly alter host chromatin, but such roles of SARS-CoV-2 are largely unknown.... read more
Effects of Early Mobilization on the Prognosis of Critically Ill Patients
Early mobilization was effective in enhancing the recovery of critically ill patients, but more large-scale, multicenter randomized controlled trials are required to further confirm these findings. A total of 39 articles... read more
Personalized Mechanical Ventilation in ARDS
A personalized mechanical ventilation approach for patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) based on lung physiology and morphology, ARDS etiology, lung imaging, and biological phenotypes may improve ventilation... read more
Neuropsychiatric Disorders and COVID-19
We read with interest the Article by Maxime Taquet and colleagues1 in The Lancet Psychiatry that evaluated a large population (n=236 379) for neurological and psychiatric complications of COVID-19 via analysis of diagnostic... read more
