Longitudinal Respiratory Subphenotypes in COVID-19 Patients with ARDS
COVID-19-related ARDS has no consistent respiratory subphenotype. Patients diverged from a fairly homogenous to a more heterogeneous population, with trajectories of ventilatory ratio and mechanical power being the most discriminatory.... read more
Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis in Critically Ill Adults
Among critically ill adults, compared to control, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) reduces incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) while UFH and mechanical compressive devices may reduce risk of DVT. LMWH is probably... read more
Therapeutic Anticoagulation vs. Usual Care in Noncritically Ill COVID-19 Patients
Among noncritically ill patients with COVID-19 infection, therapeutic anticoagulation with heparin improved the proportion of patients who survived without need for organ support. Therapeutic anticoagulation was associated... 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
Adult Critical Care Medicine
This clinical casebook provides a comprehensive yet concise state-of-the-art review of adult critical care medicine. Presented in a case-based format, each case focuses on a scenario commonly encountered with an adult patient... read more
Thrombosis vs. Hemorrhage Rates in Patients with Severe Respiratory Failure Due to COVID-19
Significant rates of pulmonary thromboembolism and of catheter-associated deep vein thrombosis were seen in both viral infections but were greater in those requiring the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in coronavirus... read more
Impact of Marijuana on Venous Thromboembolic Events
Tetrahydrocannabinoids (THC) exposure increases the risk of TEC in patients with trauma. Early identification and treatment for TEC is required to improve outcomes in this high-risk subset of trauma patients. We performed... read more
Relationship between admission coagulopathy and prognosis in children with TBI
We concluded that admission APTT > 39.2 s and fibrinogen ≤ 120 mg/dL were independently associated with mortality in children with moderate to severe TBI. Early identification and intervention of abnormal APTT and... read more
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in the Emergency Department
Subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH) are frequently misdiagnosed; therefore, we believe it is imperative to address the diagnosis and initiation of early management in the emergency medicine department to minimize poor outcomes... read more
Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis With Thrombocytopenia After Johnson & Johnson Vaccination
The initial 12 US cases of Cerebral Venous Sinus (CVST) with thrombocytopenia after Ad26.COV2.S (Janssen/Johnson & Johnson) vaccination represent serious events. This case series may inform clinical guidance as Ad26.COV2.S... read more
Understanding The Links Between COVID-19 Vaccines and Thrombosis
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is convening an emergency meeting to discuss adverse events that recently led to thrombotic events in 6 women administered the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine in... read more
Vaccine-Induced Prothrombotic Immune Thrombocytopenia After AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccination
The United Kingdom, European Union, and Scandinavian countries have reported that the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine appears to be associated with rare cases of serious blood clots, including blood clots in the brain. These... read more
Effect of Intermediate-Dose vs. Standard-Dose Prophylactic Anticoagulation on Thrombotic Events, ECMO Treatment, or Mortality Among Patients With COVID-19 in ICU
Among patients admitted to the ICU with COVID-19, intermediate-dose prophylactic anticoagulation, compared with standard-dose prophylactic anticoagulation, did not result in a significant difference in the primary outcome... read more
Early Hemostatic Management of Disseminated Intravascular Coagulopathy
Inflammation and coagulation pathobiology play a significant role in the development of multiorgan failure occurring with sepsis. Inflammation induced by an infection can lead to endothelial injury, which subsequently... read more
