Airway care interventions and prone positioning in critically ill patients

Airway Mucus in Invasively Ventilated Critically Ill Patients: Comparing Rheology to a Clinical Classification System

Patients who are critically ill and receiving invasivemechanical ventilation are at increased risk for accumula-tion of secretions in the lower airways. Such accumula-tion of airway mucus can induce atelectasis and ...

Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation for invasively ventilated critically ill patients

<p>INTRODUCTION: Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation (MI-E) is used as an airway clearance intervention in primary care (home ventilation), long-term care (prolonged rehabilitation after intensive care, ...

Practice of Awake Prone Positioning in Critically Ill COVID–19 Patients––insights from the PRoAcT–COVID study

Introduction<br/>It is unknown how awake prone positioning was practiced in patients with COVID–19 in the second wave of the national outbreak in the ...

The Use of Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation in Invasively Ventilated Critically Ill Adults

Mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) is traditionally used in the neuromuscular population. There is growing interest of MI-E use in invasively ventilated critically ill adults. We aimed to map current ...

Association between early cumulative fluid balance and successful liberation from invasive ventilation in COVID-19 ARDS patients - insights from the PRoVENT-COVID study

<p>BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence indicates the potential benefits of restricted fluid management in critically ill patients. Evidence lacks on the optimal fluid management strategy for invasively ventilated ...

Prognostication using SpO2/FiO2 in invasively ventilated ICU patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 - Insights from the PRoVENT-COVID study

<p>BACKGROUND: The SpO2/FiO2 is a useful oxygenation parameter with prognostic capacity in patients with ARDS. We investigated the prognostic capacity of SpO2/FiO2 for mortality in patients with ARDS due to ...

Mortality associated with early changes in ARDS severity in COVID-19 patients - Insights from the PRoVENT-COVID study

<p>PURPOSE: We investigated changes in ARDS severity and associations with outcome in COVID-19 ARDS patients.</p><p>METHODS: We compared outcomes in patients with ARDS classified as 'mild', ...

Awake proning in non intubated COVID 19 patients?

The Cardiac Care Bridge randomized trial in high-risk older cardiac patients: A mixed-methods process evaluation

Aim<br/>To evaluate healthcare professionals' performance and treatment fidelity in the Cardiac Care Bridge (CCB) nurse‐coordinated transitional care intervention in older cardiac patients to understand ...

Ventilation management and clinical outcomes in invasively ventilated patients with COVID-19 (PRoVENT-COVID)

<p>BACKGROUND: Little is known about the practice of ventilation management in patients with COVID-19. We aimed to describe the practice of ventilation management and to establish outcomes in invasively ...

Awake proning in patients with COVID-19

Introduction: Awake proning may result in lower intubation and mortality rates in COVID-19 patients with hypoxemia refractory to simple oxygen therapy. <br/>Aims. To summarize available evidence for benefit and ...

Awake Proning as an Adjunctive Therapy for Refractory Hypoxemia in Non-Intubated Patients with COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Failure: Guidance from an International Group of Healthcare Workers

Non-intubated patients with acute respiratory failure due to COVID-19 could benefit from awake proning. Awake proning is an attractive intervention in settings with limited resources, as it comes with no additional ...
