BACKGROUND: This aim of study was to introduce a diaphragm-based EIT-belt placement method based on diaphragm position by ultrasound, and to evaluate the difference between diaphragm-based EIT-belt placement and conventional EIT-belt placement. METHOD: The diaphragm position (L0 ) determined by ultrasound was taken as zero reference level. The direction of headward is defined as positive, and toward feet is negative. For EIT data collection, the electrode belt was placed at 7 different levels, respectively (denoted as L-2 cm , L0 , L2cm , L4cm , L6cm , L8cm , L10cm ) at supine position in healthy volunteers...

BACKGROUND: Mechanical ventilation may cause pulmonary hypertension in patients with acute lung injury (ALI), but the underlying mechanism remains elucidated. METHODS: ALI was induced in rabbits by a two-hit injury, i.e., hydrochloric acid aspiration followed by mechanical ventilation for 1 h. Rabbits were then ventilated with driving pressure of 10, 15, 20, or 25 cmH2 O for 7 h. Clinicopathological parameters were measured at baseline and different timepoints of ventilation...

BACKGROUND: Diaphragm dysfunction is common in critically ill patients and associated with poorer outcomes. The function of the diaphragm can be evaluated at the bedside by measuring diaphragmatic excursion using ultrasonography. In this study, we investigated the ability of right-sided diaphragmatic excursion (RDE) to predict the need for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). METHODS: Critically ill patients aged 18 years and older who presented to our emergency department between May 20, 2021 and May 19, 2022 and underwent measurement of RDE within 10 min of arrival were enrolled in this prospective study...

The respiratory ECMO survival prediction (RESP) score is used to predict survival for patients managed with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), but its performance in patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is unclear. We evaluated the ability of the RESP score to predict survival for patients with both non-COVID 19 ARDS and COVID-19 ARDS managed with ECMO at our institution. Receiver operating characteristic area under the curve (AUC) analysis found the RESP score reasonably predicted survival in patients with non-COVID-19 ARDS (AUC 0...

BACKGROUND: Previous studies show positive effect of music on reducing anxiety, pain, and medication requirement. Anxiety has become a more pertinent issue in the intensive care unit (ICU) since wakefulness is preferred according to recent guidelines. Nevertheless, evidence on the effect of music in ICU patients is scarce. Therefore, we studied the effect of music intervention on anxiety in ICU patients. METHODS: A multicenter randomized clinical trial was conducted between August 2020 and December 2021 in ICU's at an academic medical centre and two regional hospitals...

BACKGROUND: The efficacies of fresh frozen plasma and coagulation factor transfusion have been widely evaluated in trauma-induced coagulopathy management during the acute post-injury phase. However, the efficacy of red blood cell transfusion has not been adequately investigated in patients with severe trauma, and the optimal hemoglobin target level during the acute post-injury and resuscitation phases remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to examine whether a restrictive transfusion strategy was clinically non-inferior to a liberal transfusion strategy during the acute post-injury phase...

Shodai Yoshihro, Shunsuke Taito, Tomoaki Yatabe
BACKGROUND: Recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses have suggested that low-dose steroids are effective in the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Recent guidelines recommend the use of low-dose steroids instead of high-dose steroids. These systematic reviews were conducted based on the concept that the effect of steroids is constant regardless of their type. We discuss whether the type of steroid used influences the outcomes in patients with ARDS. MAIN BODY: From a pharmacological standpoint, methylprednisolone has little activity as a mineralocorticoid and may cause pulmonary hypertension...

BACKGROUND: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in cardiac intensive care units (CICUs), even in the contemporary era. MAIN TEXT: Although mechanical circulatory supports have recently become widely available and used in transforming the management of CS, their routine use to improve outcomes has not been established. Transportation to a high-volume center, early reperfusion, tailored mechanical circulatory supports, regionalized systems of care with multidisciplinary CS teams, a dedicated CICU, and a systemic approach, including preventing noncardiogenic complications, are the key components of CS treatment strategies...

BACKGROUND: Mechanisms underpinning ARDS induced by COVID-19 are mostly immune-mediated, but need to be completely clarified. This study aimed to investigate redox balance in COVID-19 patients with ARDS, trying to recognize possible differences from typical ARDS related to the pathophysiology of severe disease. METHODS: Patients affected by ARDS and positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus (N = 40, COVID-19) were compared to ARDS patients negative to the molecular test (N = 42, No COVID-19)...

BACKGROUND: Tissue Doppler-derived left ventricular systolic velocity (mitral S') has shown excellent correlation to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in non-critically patients. However, their correlation in septic patients remains poorly understood and its impact on mortality is undetermined. We investigated the relationship between mitral S' and LVEF in a large cohort of critically-ill septic patients. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study between 01/2011 and 12/2020...

BACKGROUND: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is caused by primary cardiac dysfunction and induced by various and heterogeneous diseases (e.g., acute impairment of cardiac performance, or acute or chronic impairment of cardiac performance). MAIN BODY: Although a low cardiac index is a common finding in patients with CS, the ventricular preload, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, central venous pressure, and systemic vascular resistance might vary between patients. Organ dysfunction has traditionally been attributed to the hypoperfusion of the organ due to either progressive impairment of the cardiac output or intravascular volume depletion secondary to CS...

BACKGROUND: Post-pyloric enteral feeding reduces respiratory complications and shortens the duration of mechanical ventilation. Blind placement of post-pyloric enteral feeding tubes (EFT) in patients with critical illnesses is often the first-line method because endoscopy or fluoroscopy cannot be easily performed at bedside; however, difficult placements regularly occur. We reported an association between the stomach position caudal to spinal level L1-L2, evaluated by abdominal radiographs after placement, and difficult placement; however, this method could not indicate difficulty before EFT placement...

BACKGROUND: The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) released overt disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) diagnostic criteria in 2001. Since then, DIC has been understood as the end-stage consumptive coagulopathy and not the therapeutic target. However, DIC is not merely a decompensated coagulation disorder, but also includes early stages with systemic activation in coagulation. Thus, the ISTH has recently released sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) criteria that can diagnose compensated-phase of coagulopathy with readily available biomarkers...
