Feb 5th, 2023 - This study aimed to evaluate the effects of high respiratory effort(HRE) on spleen, kidney, intestine, and peripheral perfusion in patients with respiratory failure during mechanical ventilation. HRE was defined as a pressure muscle index (PMI) > ...

Feb 5th, 2023 - To evaluate lower mean phosphate as a prognostic tool in critically ill patients. This is a prospective single-center cohort study including adult patients (> 18 years) with a length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay of at least 24 h. Phosphatemia...

Feb 5th, 2023 - Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of sepsis associated with increased mortality and morbidity. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been shown as a risk factor for septic AKI. In this study, we aimed to further evaluate ...

Feb 4th, 2023 - Goal directed fluid therapy (GDFT) may be a rational approach to adopt in neurosurgical patients, in whom intravascular volume optimization is of utmost importance. Most of the parameters used to guide GDFT are derived invasively. We postulated th...

Dec 24th, 2022 - Common, operational definitions are crucial to assess interventions and outcomes related to pediatric mechanical ventilation. These definitions can reduce unnecessary variability among research and quality improvement efforts, to ensure findings a...

Dec 6th, 2021 - Current evidence shows no improvement in survival and other important measures Convalescent plasma (a transfusion of blood plasma from someone who has recovered from covid-19) is not recommended for patients with covid-19, says a WHO Guideline ...

Apr 20th, 2021 - To describe updates to pragmatic recommendations that were published during the first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) surge, including the current thinking about whether pregnancy worsens the severity of COVID-19. Although a majority of pregna...

Mar 12th, 2021 - Hospitalised patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a result of SARS-CoV-2 infection have a high mortality rate and frequently require noninvasive respiratory support or invasive ventilation. Optimising and standardising management t...

Dec 11th, 2020 - Mechanical ventilation (MV) is an essential part of modern intensive care medicine. MV is performed in patients with severe respiratory failure caused by respiratory muscle insufficiency and/or lung parenchymal disease; that is, when other treatme...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - 5. INTRODUCTION 5.1 Executive Summary ZYESAMI (aviptadil) is a synthetic form of Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP), a ubiquitous, naturally synthesized human peptide with extensively documented anti-inflammatory, anti-cytokine cascade proper...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in surgical patients. National estimates suggest 1,062,000 PPCs per year, with 46,200 deaths, and 4.8 million additional days of hospitalization. Abdominal s...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Project Focus The focus of this project is to improve the ventilatory management of patients with acute respiratory failure in the critical care setting by enhancing the use of non-invasive ventilation, a goal that should lead to improved outcomes...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Detailed Description: Attack of the Alveolar Type II (ATII) cell via its ACE2 surface receptor by the SARS-CoV-2 virus leads to respiratory failure, morbidity, and frequently mortality in COVID-19. There is no approved treatment that specifically ...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Detailed Description: Attack of the Alveolar Type II (ATII) cell via its ACE2 surface receptor by the SARS-CoV-2 virus leads to respiratory failure, morbidity, and frequently mortality in COVID-19. There is no approved treatment that specifically ...

Jan 30th, 2023 - Higher protein doses did not improve critically ill patient outcomes, and may even be detrimental to patients with high organ failure and acute kidney injury, the EFFORT trial found. In nutritionally high-risk adults undergoing mechanical ventilat...

Jan 12th, 2023 - While respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) did not appear to be more severe during its resurgence in 2021, hospital admissions increased for kids, possibly as a result of delayed first infection or no recent reinfection due to COVID-related restricti...

Jan 11th, 2023 - Patients on mechanical ventilation for severe COVID-19 pneumonia had similar mortality rates to patients with other forms of severe pneumonia, but those with COVID tended to be kept on ventilation longer, findings from a large health system showed...

Jan 6th, 2023 - A weakened diaphragm could be related to the persistent shortness of breath some people experience long after COVID-19 hospitalization, a small study suggested. Whether patients had received ventilation treatment or not, twitch trans-diaphragmatic...

Jan 4th, 2023 - One mark of an excellent clinician is their commitment to lifelong learning, and CHEST’s hands-on simulation courses offer the chance for practitioners of all experience levels to enhance their knowledge. A variety of interactive courses are offer.
