When compared with liberal oxygen therapy, conservative oxygen therapy did not improve rates of survival with favorable functional outcomes among unresponsive patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) ...

When working in an acute care ward, you face this dilemma almost every day. Should you make a decision based solely on vitals, wait for a doctor's order, or proceed based on your own assessment? In ...

This project builds a clinical prediction model for early-onset sepsis in ICU patients using the MIMIC-IV electronic health record database. Using only data available in the first 6 hours of an ICU ...

We read with great interest the article titled “Use of high-dose steroid therapy: addition of anakinra in the treatment of severe COVID-19,” recently published in your journal 1. The study clearly ...

In unresponsive patients hospitalized following cardiac arrest with suspected hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), a conservative oxygen strategy does not improve survival or function compared with ...

"FiO₂ is 0.6, so no mobilization today?" In the ICU, such decisions are sometimes made. Certainly, oxygen dosage and PEEP are items that must be checked before mobilization. However, you cannot ...

Literature on the anesthetic management of endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is limited. Anesthetic management during these procedures is still mostly dependent on individual or ...

Background Early warning systems (EWS) used across the world typically assign a fixed number of points to patients receiving supplemental oxygen, regardless of amount. This ordinal binary approach may ...

Objective To assess the diagnostic accuracy of peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO 2) while breathing room air for 5 min (the ‘Air-Test’) in detecting postoperative atelectasis. Design ...

Extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EVs) have biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. They can effectively mediate intercellular communication by transmitting various ...
