BACKGROUND: Intensive care units (ICU) are the epicenter of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and patients' infections are mainly caused by Gram-negative bacteria (GNB). OBJECTIVE: To describe the frequency and trends in AMR of GNB deriving from the clinical samples of ICU patients at a tertiary care hospital in Mérida, Yucatán. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Study which included the review of laboratory reports of all bacteriological samples collected from patients admitted to neonatal, pediatric and adult ICU from January 1 2019 to December 31 2021...

BACKGROUND: Module-based teaching of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) with a systematic, stratified approach is expected to have a promising role in teaching. We hypothesized it to improve the skill and knowledge of intensive care unit nurses. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of the teaching module with debriefing sessions on the VAP bundle care approach, and the secondary objective was to estimate the improvement in individual components of the VAP bundle...

BACKGROUND: New nurses are the major source of hiring for most hospitals. They fill vacancies left by seasoned nurses creating an experience-complexity gap. Turnover among new-graduate nurses is as high as 85% in the first 2 years. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to provide a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to turnover. The specific aims were (1) to better understand novice nurses' perceptions of their transition to critical-care practice and (2) to describe all eligible critical-care nurses' perceptions of a healthy work environment...

BACKGROUND: Patients' death caused the intensive care unit (ICU) nurses to grieve, which led to their burnout. Intensive care unit nurses use various coping mechanisms and need support to overcome grief. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify the mediation effects of coping mechanisms and grief support on the impact of grief on burnout. METHOD: This cross-sectional study among 660 ICU nurses from 9 hospitals used 4 self-reported instruments to collect data, apart from the sociodemographic and employment-related variables...

BACKGROUND: Prehospital blood transfusion has been widely practiced in the military and is drawing renewed scrutiny after many years of civilian use. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this article is to quantify the benefit derived from prehospital transfusion of blood products. METHODS: Deidentified data were extracted retrospectively from the flight records of a critical care transportation program between April 2018 and January 2020. Patients who were transported before a prehospital blood transfusion protocol were compared with patients after initiation of the blood transfusion protocol...

BACKGROUND: Nurses are in a central position to improve care for dying patients and their families by challenging current end-of-life practices in their settings. Nurses who care for such patients experience the associated ethical dilemmas. However, the relation between their attitude and behavior regarding end-of-life care and their ethical attitudes is not known. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to examine the relation between the attitudes and behaviors of intensive care unit nurses to end-of-life care and their ethical attitudes in the care process...

BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION: Restrictions on visitors during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had major implications for both patients and families, impacting health care outcomes. Policies included mandatory closures, masking, and visiting restrictions both in acute and long-term care. Despite visiting restrictions in health care systems, little is known about its effects. OBJECTIVES/AIMS: The objective of this study was to elicit perceptions of individuals who were separated from their loved ones during acute care hospitalization during the COVID pandemic...

BACKGROUND: Although previous studies have established the association of medications with anticholinergic adverse effects and xerostomia, anticholinergic burden and xerostomia in critical care settings are poorly characterized. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of medication burdens associated with anticholinergic adverse effects, particularly the occurrence of xerostomia (dry mouth) in a critical care setting. In addition, this study explored the correlation between the timing of the first instance of xerostomia and the administration timing of medication known to have anticholinergic adverse effects...

BACKGROUND: A robust anesthesia workforce is essential to the provision of safe surgical, obstetrical, and critical care but information describing the physician anesthesia workforce and volume of clinical services delivered in Canada is limited. This study examines the Canadian physician anesthesia workforce, exploring trends in physician characteristics and activity levels over time. Practice patterns of specialist anesthesiologists and family physician anesthetists (FPAs) working in urban and rural communities were of particular interest...

RATIONALE: Despite the importance of inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the immune cell landscape in the lung tissue of patients with mild-moderate disease has not been well characterized at the single-cell and molecular level. OBJECTIVE: To define the immune cell landscape in lung tissue from patients with mild-moderate COPD at single-cell resolution. METHODS: We performed single-cell transcriptomic (RNA-seq), proteomic (CITE-seq), and T cell receptor repertoire analysis on lung tissue from patients with mild-moderate COPD (n=5, GOLD I or II), emphysema without airflow obstruction (n=5), end-stage COPD (n=2), control (n=6), or donors (n=4)...

COVID-19 is associated with prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay and considerable mortality. The onset of persistent critical illness, defined as when prior illness predicts death better than acute physiological derangement, has not been studied in COVID-19. This national cohort study based on the Swedish Intensive Care Registry (SIR) included all patients admitted to a Swedish ICU due to COVID-19 from 6 March 2020 to 9 November 2021. Simplified Acute Physiology Score-3 (SAPS3) Box 1 was used as a measure of prior illness and Box 3 as a measure of acute derangement to evaluate the onset and importance of persistent critical illness in COVID-19...

INTRODUCTION: Task sharing and task shifting (TSTS) in the management of hypertension is an important strategy to reduce the burden of hypertension in low-and middle-income countries like Nigeria where there is shortage of physicians below the World Health Organization's recommendations on doctor-patient ratio. The cooperation of physicians is critical to the success of this strategy. We assessed physicians' perception of TSTS with non-physician health workers in the management of hypertension and sought recommendations to facilitate the implementation of TSTS...

Most vertebrate offspring must transition from the relative security of parental care (nutrition and protection) to independent foraging. Offspring face many challenges during this critical period, particularly in species where parental care ends at weaning, such as the grey seal (Halichoerus grypus). We studied the development of movement behaviour in naïve grey seal pups from their first trips to sea to about five months of age. Twenty-five (12 males and 13 females) newly-weaned pups were fitted with satellite-linked GPS tags on Sable Island, Nova Scotia, Canada in January 2016...
