Questions from social media, blogs and the various discussion forums, including the new SCCM COVID-19 Discussion Group, were answered. This microlearning content was taken from the COVID-19 Critical Care for Non-ICU Clinicians: Expert Panel Series held on September 8, 2021
From Critical Care Medicine. In this Clinical Investigation the authors quantified the response to prone position, describe the differences between coronavirus disease 2019 acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute respiratory distress syndrome, and explore variables associated with survival.
From Critical Care Medicine. In this Clinical Investigation the authors estimated the overall incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia, the cumulative incidence, and hazard rate of the first and the second ventilator-associated pneumonia.
This webinar covers highlights from the Critical Impact: Clinical Practice course.
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.
From 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 paper, the authors aimed to characterize the kinetics of serum albumin in critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 compared with critically ill patients with sepsis-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Critical Care Explorations The authors found a similar percentage of positive test results in mini-bronchoalveolar lavage and bronchoalveolar lavage samples in patients with suspected coronavirus disease 2019–associated pulmonary aspergillosis, indicating that mini-bronchoalveolar lavage could be a useful tool for coronavirus disease 2019–associated pulmonary aspergillosis screening in ICU patients.
In this "Breathe Easy Elevator Pitch" podcast, Dr. Siva Bhavani interviews Dr. David Furfaro, and they discuss the study "Latent Class Analysis Reveals COVID-19-related ARDS Subgroups", recently published in the Blue Journal.
From Critical Care Medicine In this Letter to the Editor, the authors read the study by Chotalia et al.
From Critical Care Explorations The authors report successful treatment in such a patient who is ineligible for phase 3 trials of Aviptadil.
From Critical Care Explorations In this Letter to the Editor the authors investigated the effect of prone ventilation on right ventricular (RV) function of intubated patients with COVID-19–associated acute respiratory distress syndrome.
From Critical Care Explorations The authors studied impact of paralysis on prone-induced gas exchange improvements and provider attitudes regarding paralytics.
From Critical Care Explorations The authors describe hospital variation in use of “guideline-based care” for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to COVID-19.
Review strategies to develop a multiprofessional team approach to COVID-19 ventilator management in this FREE SCCM webcast. A multiprofessional panel of experts will discuss how each clinician’s role contributes to optimal ventilator management.
SCCM’s COVID-19 Rapid Resource Center now links to pertinent content from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These resources are categorized as Pulmonary
WHO has updated its living guidelines on COVID-19 therapeutics to include a conditional recommendation on molnupiravir, a new antiviral medicine. This is the first oral antiviral drug to be included in the treatment guidelines for COVID-19. As this is a new medicine, there is little safety data. WHO recommends active monitoring for drug safety, along with other strategies to mitigate potential harms.
