How Preventable Is Sepsis-Associated Death in Hospitalized Adults?
While sepsis was the most common immediate cause of death at 6 US academic and community hospitals, most patients had severe chronic comorbidities.
Interictal Hypercapnic Ventilatory Response Can Be Safely Measured in Epilepsy
Measurement of interictal central respiratory chemosensitivity to CO2 is rapid and safe for bedside use in patients with epilepsy.
Adjusting PEEP Not Effective in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome who received positive end-expiratory pressure titration guided by esophageal pressure had no significant differences in clinical outcomes.
Sepsis Mortality May Be Linked to Longer Door-to-Antibiotic Times
Increasing door-to-antibiotic time for emergency department patients with clinical sepsis is associated with an hour-by-hour linear increase in 1-year mortality.
Oseltamivir Effective in Critically Ill Patients With Influenza A/H3N2
Oseltamivir should be administered to treat critically ill individuals with influenza, particularly when A/H3N2 is circulating.
Machine Learning Model for Early Sepsis Risk Stratification
A new sepsis screening tool developed using machine learning was timelier and more discriminating than several benchmark screening tools.
Sepsis Could Be Diagnosed in Minutes With New Test
Microelectrode device analyzes a patient’s blood and provides results in as quickly as 2.5 minutes.
Oxygen Saturation Levels Higher With Manual Ventilation During Intubation
Findings were seen with bag mask ventilation vs no ventilation in adults undergoing tracheal intubation.
Swan-Ganz Thermodilution Catheters Recalled Due to Lumen Reversal
The class I recall is being initiated because of incorrect assembly leading to catheter tube (lumens) reversal.
