Mashup Score: 3
Background The survival rate of patients with critical coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) over time is inconsistent in different settings. In Japan, a national database was organized to monitor and share the patient generation across the country in an immediate response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to evaluate changes in survival over time and the prognostic factors in critical…

Mashup Score: 0
Background Medical nutrition therapy may be associated with clinical outcomes in critically ill patients with prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay. We wanted to assess nutrition practices in European intensive care units (ICU) and their importance for clinical outcomes. Methods Prospective multinational cohort study in patients staying in ICU ≥ 5 days with outcome recorded until day 90….

Mashup Score: 4TTCOV19: timing of tracheotomy in SARS-CoV-2-infected patients: a multicentre, single-blinded, randomized, controlled trial - Critical Care - 2 year(s) ago
Background Critically ill COVID-19 patients may develop acute respiratory distress syndrome and the need for respiratory support, including mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit. Previous observational studies have suggested early tracheotomy to be advantageous. The aim of this parallel, multicentre, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the optimal timing of…

Mashup Score: 1Early short course of neuromuscular blocking agents in patients with COVID-19 ARDS: a propensity score analysis - Critical Care - 2 year(s) ago
Background The role of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is not fully elucidated. Therefore, we aimed to investigate in COVID-19 patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS the impact of early use of NMBAs on 90-day mortality, through propensity score (PS) matching analysis. Methods We analyzed a convenience sample of…

Mashup Score: 1Lung response to prone positioning in mechanically-ventilated patients with COVID-19 - Critical Care - 2 year(s) ago
Background Prone positioning improves survival in moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) unrelated to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This benefit is probably mediated by a decrease in alveolar collapse and hyperinflation and a more homogeneous distribution of lung aeration, with fewer harms from mechanical ventilation. In this preliminary physiological study we…

Mashup Score: 0Rapidly progressive brain atrophy in septic ICU patients: a retrospective descriptive study using semiautomatic CT volumetry - Critical Care - 2 year(s) ago
Background Sepsis is often associated with multiple organ failure; however, changes in brain volume with sepsis are not well understood. We assessed brain atrophy in the acute phase of sepsis using brain computed tomography (CT) scans, and their findings’ relationship to risk factors and outcomes. Methods Patients with sepsis admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) and who underwent at least two…

Mashup Score: 9The evolution of the ventilatory ratio is a prognostic factor in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 ARDS patients - Critical Care - 3 year(s) ago
Background Mortality due to COVID-19 is high, especially in patients requiring mechanical ventilation. The purpose of the study is to investigate associations between mortality and variables measured during the first three days of mechanical ventilation in patients with COVID-19 intubated at ICU admission. Methods Multicenter, observational, cohort study includes consecutive patients with…

Mashup Score: 3Personalized mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome - Critical Care - 3 year(s) ago
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 practice and outcome. However, additional research is warranted before personalized mechanical ventilation strategies can be applied at the bedside. Ventilatory parameters…

Mashup Score: 0An appraisal of respiratory system compliance in mechanically ventilated covid-19 patients - 3 year(s) ago
Background Heterogeneous respiratory system static compliance (CRS) values and levels of hypoxemia in patients with novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) requiring mechanical ventilation have been reported in previous small-case series or studies conducted at a national level. Methods We designed a retrospective observational cohort study with rapid data gathering from the international COVID-19…

Mashup Score: 1Mechanical ventilation parameters in critically ill COVID-19 patients: a scoping review - 3 year(s) ago
Background The mortality of critically ill patients with COVID-19 is high, particularly among those receiving mechanical ventilation (MV). Despite the high number of patients treated worldwide, data on respiratory mechanics are currently scarce and the optimal setting of MV remains to be defined. This scoping review aims to provide an overview of available data about respiratory mechanics, gas…
