Immunosuppressive effects of circulating bile acids in human endotoxemia and septic shock: patients with liver failure are at risk Crit. Care (IF 15.1) Pub Date : 2023-09-27 Julia Leonhardt, Mirrin J. Dorresteijn, Sophie Neugebauer, Diana Mihaylov, Julia Kunze, Ignacio Rubio, Frank-Stephan Hohberger, Silke Leonhardt, Michael Kiehntopf, Klaus Stahl, Christian Bode, Sascha David, Frank A. D. T. G. Wagener, Peter Pickkers, Michael Bauer
Sepsis-induced immunosuppression is a frequent cause of opportunistic infections and death in critically ill patients. A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms is needed to develop targeted therapies. Circulating bile acids with immunosuppressive effects were recently identified in critically ill patients. These bile acids activate the monocyte G-protein coupled receptor TGR5, thereby inducing

Incidence, microbiological and immunological characteristics of ventilator-associated pneumonia assessed by bronchoalveolar lavage and endotracheal aspirate in a prospective cohort of COVID-19 patients: CoV-AP study Crit. Care (IF 15.1) Pub Date : 2023-09-26 Davide Mangioni, Mauro Panigada, Emanuele Palomba, Chiara Bobbio, Liliane Chatenoud, Laura Alagna, Jacopo Fumagalli, Andrea Gori, Anna Grancini, Amedeo Guzzardella, Andrea Lombardi, Caterina Matinato, Andrea Meli, Antonio Muscatello, Laura Porretti, Mara Tomasello, Elena Trombetta, Luca Valenti, Alessandra Bandera, Giacomo Grasselli
No univocal recommendation exists for microbiological diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Sampling of either proximal or distal respiratory tract likely impacts on the broad range of VAP incidence between cohorts. Immune biomarkers to rule-in/rule-out VAP diagnosis, although promising, have not yet been validated. COVID-19-induced ARDS made VAP recognition even more challenging, often

Sonometric assessment of cough predicts extubation failure: SonoWean—a proof-of-concept study Crit. Care (IF 15.1) Pub Date : 2023-09-25 Vincent Bonny, Jeremie Joffre, Paul Gabarre, Tomas Urbina, Louai Missri, Mathilde Ladoire, Maxime Gasperment, Jean-Luc Baudel, Bertrand Guidet, Guillaume Dumas, Eric Maury, Laurent Brochard, Hafid Ait-Oufella
Extubation failure is associated with increased mortality. Cough ineffectiveness may be associated with extubation failure, but its quantification for patients undergoing weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) remains challenging. Patients under IMV for more than 24 h completing a successful spontaneous T-tube breathing trial (SBT) were included. At the end of the SBT, we performed quantitative

Phenomenography: An emerging qualitative research design for nursing J. Adv. Nurs. (IF 3.8) Pub Date : 2023-09-24 Jonathan Bayuo, Lydia Aziato, Kwan Ching Arkers Wong, Jingjing Su, Hammoda Abu-Odah, Frances Kam Yuet Wong
Phenomenography emerged from pedagogy to examine the qualitatively different ways that individuals experience and perceive the same phenomenon. Despite its uniqueness, the uptake of phenomenography in nursing research is still limited. Potentially, this may be related to confusion regarding what the design is about, its philosophical underpinnings and how distinct it is from other qualitative designs

Critical care patients often require central venous cannulation (CVC). We hypothesized that real-time biplane ultrasound-guided CVC would improve first-puncture success rate and reduce mechanical complications. The purpose of this study was to compare the success rate and safety of single-plane and real-time biplane approaches for ultrasound-guided CVC. From October 2022 to March 2023, 256 participants

Computer models in healthcare shed light on the roots of missed care in system design: Nurse workload J. Adv. Nurs. (IF 3.8) Pub Date : 2023-09-20 W. Patrick Neumann, Sadeem Munwar Qureshi, Susan Bookey-Bassett
This commentary has been inspired by the recent editorial in JAN on missed nursing care and cultures of busyness (Jackson, 2023). We do not rebut any of the content in this excellent overview of the issue of missed care – but offer here another perspective on the concept of the ‘culture of busyness’. We agree that much of missed care is caused by workload issues for nurses (rather than merely ‘forgetting’)

Beta-blockers in refractory hypoxemia on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a double-edged sword Crit. Care (IF 15.1) Pub Date : 2023-09-20 Dawid L. Staudacher, Tobias Wengenmayer, Matthieu Schmidt
Up to 10% of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) suffer from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [1]. Severe respiratory failure can result in refractory hypoxemia, characterized by diminished arterial oxygen content and subsequent tissue hypoxia [2]. To address hypoxia, venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) can be employed, delivering up to 6–7 L per minute

Despite significant advances in health care in recent decades, men do not appear to have benefited equally. Globally, men have a lower life expectancy than women (Thornton, 2019). Across a range of measures, men's general health is poorer than that of women (Mursa et al., 2022). Biological characteristics, occupational factors and health behaviours may all contribute to this gender-related difference;
