The prevalence of obesity is increasing in the intensive care unit (ICU). Although a known risk factor for chronic kidney disease, its association with early sepsis-associated acute injury (SA-AKI) and their combined patient outcomes warrant further investigation.
Bacterial superinfection is not uncommon in critically ill patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pneumonia requiring intensive care unit (ICU) treatment. However, there still a lack of evidence related to bacterial and their clinical significance COVID-19. Therefore, we assessed the incidence superinfections effects on outcomes COVID-19.This single-center retrospective cohort study analyzed COVID-19 admitted ICU at tertiary academic hospital between February 2020 December 2021.

Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) is a heterogeneous disease entity. Limited data are available regarding its prevalence, clinical course, or prognosis. We aimed to evaluate the longitudinal course of patients with PRISm compared chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD).
Endotracheal suctioning is an essential but labor-intensive procedure, with the risk of serious complications. A brand new automatic closed-suction device was developed to alleviate workload healthcare providers and minimize those We evaluated clinical efficacy safety suction system in mechanically ventilated patients pneumonia. In this multicenter, randomized, non-inferiority, investigator-initiated trial, pneumonia were randomized (intervention) or conventional manual (control). The...
There are limited data on the clinical effects of prone positioning according to lung morphology. We aimed determine whether gas exchange response differs
