From Critical Care Explorations. The authors claim this to be the first study to clearly demonstrate significant practice variation between ICUs related to mechanical ventilation parameters that are under direct control by intensivists. Their effect on clinical outcomes for both coronavirus disease 2019 and other critically ill mechanically ventilated patients could have widespread implications for the practice of intensive care medicine and should be investigated further by causal inference models and clinical trials.
From Critical Care Explorations. The authors created evidence-based consensus statements for restricted ICU visitation policies to support critically ill patients, families, and healthcare professionals during current and future pandemics.
From Critical Care Explorations. The authors describe statewide implementation of a critical care coordination center designed to optimize ICU utilization.
This webinar covers highlights from the Critical Impact: Infrastructure and Workforce course.
Learn how COVID-19 is becoming an endemic condition in intensive care units in this FREE SCCM webcast. Subject matter experts will also discuss COVID-19 myths and misconceptions and how COVID-19 has changed the continuum of care. The Society of Critical Care Medicine and the Infectious Diseases Society of America partnered to produce this webcast. The webinar was held on December 14, 2021.
From Critical Care Explorations. Dorsal Push and Abdominal Binding Improve Respiratory Compliance and Driving Pressure in Proned Coronavirus Disease 2019 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
From Critical Care Explorations. In this study the authors found that hospital variation in the use of repurposed medications varied widely across hospitals early in the pandemic and later converged with the emergence of randomized clinical trials.
From Critical Care Explorations While the overall safety profile of the BNT162b2 coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine remains excellent for the general population, rare serious events have been reported. In this case report, the authors describe a case of multisystem inflammation and organ dysfunction of unknown mechanism beginning shortly after administration of the first dose of BNT162b2 coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine in a previously healthy recipient.
From Pediatric Critical Care Medicine. In this Editorial, the authors discuss the article by Vacheron et al. on the epidemiology of ventilatory-associated pneumonia among patients with COVID-19.
From Critical Care Explorations In this study, the authors found that Patients who suffered critical illness from coronavirus disease 2019 had a high frequency of postintensive care syndrome after 1 year.
From Critical Care Explorations In this essay, the authors propose a number of questions that recognize the existential frustrations critical care professionals experience when carting for unvaccinated patients in the ICU, while also uncovering the ethical obligations that remain.
From Critical Care Explorations In this observational study, the authors successfully identified significant genetic factors in OAS1 and IL1B genes using a candidate gene approach study as valuable information for further mechanistic investigation and predictive model building.
From Critical Care Explorations This international study suggests that in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 on invasive mechanical ventilation, older age and clinically relevant variables monitored at baseline or sequentially during the course of invasive mechanical ventilation are associated with 28-day invasive mechanical ventilation mortality hazard.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare providers receive many requests for media appearances and interviews to help inform the public. This training will provide strategies and techniques to increase confidence of providers participating in media communications.
This presentation discusses utilization of motivational interviewing techniques to discuss COVID-19 vaccines. This is SCCM curated COVID-19 microlearning content.
Revisit isolation precautions, engineering controls, and aerosol-generating procedures, and review personal protective equipment updates, including the evolution of masking recommendations.
During this webinar, experts will address questions related to caring for mechanically ventilated pregnant patients with COVID-19. Review the safety of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in pregnancy, drug safety for critically ill patients with COVID-19, vaccination strategies, and post-ICU care for unvaccinated pregnant patients. This webcast will also benefit non-ICU clinicians who may need to care for critically ill and injured patients.
From Critical Care Medicine The authors determined the association between temperature trajectories and distinct manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019.
From Critical Care Explorations The authors conducted eleven team triage simulations from December 2020 through February 2021.
From Critical Care Explorations The authors evaluated the characteristics and outcomes across the range of frailty in patients admitted to ICU with coronavirus disease 2019.
