Background: Pneumonia is the most common nosocomial infection reported worldwide in intensive care units. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors of nosocomial pneumonia and the frequency of antibiotic resistance in trauma patients who need immediate intervention. Patients and Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in Shahid Rajaei Trauma Hospital in Shiraz between 2020 and 2021. All the trauma patients who needed immediate intervention (levels 1 and 2 based on the Canadian Emergency Department Triage and Acuity Scale) and had no symptoms of infection were included...

AIM: Whereas there is agreement, that surfactant should be administered without mechanical ventilation, there is still a debate concerning the optimal method. DD-SURF combines the benefits of INSURE and less invasive surfactant administration (LISA). The efficacy of this approach has not been evaluated yet. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of all preterm newborns below 300/7 weeks gestational age admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Data on surfactant therapy, respiratory support during the first 96 hours of life and neonatal morbidities until hospital discharge were collected from the electronic patient charts to evaluate the efficacy and safety of our approach...

OBJECTIVES: To study the application value of transport ventilator in the inter-hospital transport of critically ill children. METHODS: The critically ill children in Hunan Children's Hospital who were transported with or without a transport ventilator were included as the observation group (from January 2019 to January 2020; n =122) and the control group (from January 2018 to January 2019; n =120), respectively. The two groups were compared in terms of general data, the changes in heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood oxygen saturation during transport, the incidence rates of adverse events, and outcomes...

BACKGROUND: Patients with hematological malignancies (HM) often require admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to organ failure, disease progression or treatment-related complications, and they generally have a poor prognosis. Therefore, understanding the factors affecting ICU mortality in HM patients is important. In this study, we aimed to identify the risk factors for ICU mortality in our critically ill HM patients. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of HM patients who were hospitalized in our medical ICU between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2018...

Patients with a Blom® tracheostomy tube (containing a cuff) can vocalize while on mechanical ventilation, which can significantly improve the patient's quality of life. This is brought by the purpose-built structure of the tracheostomy tube that allows the expiration to be expelled through the glottis. However, this characteristic may complicate the measurement of the patient's tidal volume, as most of the expiration does not return to the ventilator. Owing to the necessity of insertion of the speech cannula, which acts as an inner cannula, to enable patient vocalization, the air passage likely becomes constricted, thus increasing airway resistance...

BACKGROUND: The profile of changes in airway driving pressure (dPaw ) induced by positive-end expiratory pressure (PEEP) might aid for individualized protective ventilation. Our aim was to describe the dPaw versus PEEP curves behavior in ARDS from COVID-19 patients. METHODS: Patients admitted in three hospitals were ventilated with fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2 ) and PEEP initially adjusted by oxygenation-based table. Thereafter, PEEP was reduced from 20 until 6 cmH2 O while dPaw was stepwise recorded and the lowest PEEP that minimized dPaw (PEEPmin_dPaw ) was assessed...

BACKGROUND: Cardiac arrest (CA) following CO poisoning (CO-induced CA) exposes patients to an extremely high risk of mortality and remains challenging to treat effectively. Terminal carboxyhemoglobin elimination half-life (COHbt1/2 ) is critically affected by ventilation, oxygen therapy, and cardiac output, which are severely affected conditions in cases of CA. CASE PRESENTATION: Asystole occurred in an 18-year-old woman after unintentional exposure to CO in her bathroom...

This ambispective observational study, was conducted at a tertiary care centre in Central India. Children aged <16 y who tested positive for SARS-CoV2 between 1st April 2020 to 30th April 2022 were included. The prevalence of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) infection was 1.2%. Of 525 children, median age was 60 mo; 88 (16.7%) were infants. Comorbidities were noted in 89 (16.9%) children. About 59% (n=309) were asymptomatic. Among symptomatic (n=216) children, fever (57.9%) was the most common symptom followed by cough (37%), running nose (21...

Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is the leading cause of death following cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). γδT cells are suggested to aggravate blood-brain barrier (BBB) injury in various pathological processes. We herein investigate the effects of γδT cells inhibitor (UC7-13D5) against I/R injury post-CA/CPR. C57BL/6 mice were subjected to CA through injection of KCL (70 μL of 0.5 mol/L) and cessation of mechanical ventilation followed by CPR. Flow cytometry was performed to measure the proportion of CD3-positive cells after intraperitoneal injection of 200 μg UC7-13D5 at 6 h, 24 h, and 48 h post-resuscitation into mice...

Even though the stress secondary to invasive procedures has been investigated, less attention has been paid to the stimulation or pain caused by routine procedures on neonates. The changes in salivary cortisol concentration in mechanically ventilated NICU patients during routine procedures were monitored to provide reference and guidance for pain management. 80 mechanically ventilated neonates in the hospital from Sep 2021 to Mar 2022 were selected. The salivary cortisol levels of the neonates were monitored during nursing procedures and were categorized by their risk levels to the following groups: high-risk (endotracheal suctioning and arterial blood sampling), moderate-risk (gastric tube insertion, venipuncture), and low-risk (bedside bathing and diaper changes)...

BACKGROUND: Patient triggered Adaptive Pressure Control (APC-CMV) has been widely adopted as an alternative ventilator mode to patient-triggered Volume control (VC-CMV). However, the comparative effectiveness of the two ventilator modes remain uncertain. RESEARCH QUESTION: We sought to explore clinical and implementation factors pertinent to a future definitive RCT assessing APC-CMV vs VC-CMV as an initial ventilator mode strategy. The research objectives in our pilot trial test clinician adherence and explore clinical outcomes...

OBJECTIVES: Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) devices are effective in reducing hypercapnia and mechanical ventilation support but have not been shown to reduce mortality. This may be due to case selection, device performance, familiarity, or the management.

To control the spread and transmission of airborne particles (especially SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, recently) in the indoor environment, many control strategies have been employed. Comparisons of these strategies enable a reasonable choice for indoor environment control and cost-effectiveness. In this study, a series of experiments were conducted in a full-scale chamber to simulate a conference room. The control effects of four different strategies (a ventilation system (320 m3 /h) with and without a baffle, a specific type of portable air cleaner (400 m3 /h) and a specific type of desk air cleaner (DAC, 160 m3 /h)) on the transportation of particles of different sizes were studied...
