TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the rate of thrombosis, bleeding and mortality comparing anticoagulant doses in critically ill COVID-19 patients and found that intermediate and therapeutic doses appear to have a higher risk of bleeding without a decrease of venous thromboembolism events and mortality.

TL;DR: In this paper , the adverse events related to tracheal intubation in COVID-19 patients, defined as the onset of hemodynamic instability, severe hypoxemia, and cardiac arrest, were determined.

TL;DR: In this article , the impact of a multimodal interventional project ("Zero Resistance") on the acquisition of multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR-B) during the patient's ICU stay was assessed.

TL;DR: In this paper , a new mortality indicator for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the intensive care unit (ICU) was proposed based on the ARIAM-SEMICYUC registry.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors presented the adaptation and validation of the 24-item Family Satisfaction in the Intensive Care Unit (FS ICU-24) questionnaire among relatives of critically ill patients in a teaching hospital in Chile.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) associated invasive aspergillosis at a single centre in Cologne, Germany, and found that COVID19 associated invasive pulmonary asper gillosis was found in five of 19 consecutive critically ill patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome.

TL;DR: In this paper , the use of corticosteroids was associated with ICU mortality among whole population and pre-specified clinical phenotypes, and a multivariate analysis after propensity optimal full matching (PS) and weighted Cox regression (HR) and Fine-Gray analysis (sHR) was performed.

TL;DR: In this paper , a systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out to evaluate the benefits and harmful effects of conservative versus liberal oxygen therapy in patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

TL;DR: In this article , a new indicator for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the intensive care unit (ICU) was proposed, with a mean of 0.0257 (95% CI: 0.907-0.930).

TL;DR: In this article , the authors assessed the clinical profile and factors associated with 30-day mortality in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).

TL;DR: In this paper , a systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted to assess mortality and different clinical factors derived from the development of atraumatic pneumothorax (PNX) and/or pneumomediastinum (PNMD) in critically ill patients as a consequence of COVID-19-associated lung weakness (CALW).

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors outline strategies for the assessment and management of patients with acute life-threatening asthma focusing on those requiring admission to the ICU, and discuss the use of non-invasive mechanical ventilation to decrease the work of breathing.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the predictive value of NEWS2, NEWS-C, and COVID-19 Severity Index for predicting intensive care unit (ICU) transfer in the next 24 hours.

TL;DR: In this paper , a new indicator for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the intensive care unit (ICU) was proposed, with a mean of 0.0257 and 0.27085 (95% CI: 0.2533-0.2886) respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of honeycomb cell size and wall thickness under impact loading on energy absorption and weight using a reduced order model was established from a set of finite element simulation data.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors identify the molecular identity of each enterobacteriaceae, together with the knowledge of the activity spectrum of each antibiotic, to tailor the therapy and make it effective.
