TL;DR: In this article , two acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) subphenotypes (hyperinflammatory and hypoinflammatory) with distinct clinical and biological features and differential treatment responses have been identified using latent class analysis (LCA) in seven individual cohorts.

TL;DR: The aim of this observational multicenter study was to study risk factors for mechanical complications in a large, recently collected cohort of patients.

TL;DR: High-grade biofilm formation on ETTs was associated with development of ventilator-associated pneumonia and was not predicted by either colonization with common VAP pathogens in surveillance cultures or duration of invasive ventilation.

TL;DR: There is a clear association between Hypothermia and negative outcomes in connection with trauma, surgery, and accidental hypothermia; thus, it is crucial to rewarm patients in these clinical situations without delay.

TL;DR: This retrospective single‐centre study investigated whether activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) or prothrombin time – international normalized ratio (PT‐INR) measured on admission to the ICU in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock may be associated with mortality independent of SAPS 3 score.
