Low-dose dexamethasone demonstrated clinical improvement in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) needing oxygen therapy; however, evidence on the efficacy of high-dose is limited.We performed a randomised, open-label, controlled trial involving hospitalised confirmed COVID-19 pneumonia therapy. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 ratio to receive low-dose (6 mg once daily for 10 days) or (20 5 days, followed by an additional days). The primary outcome was worsening within 11...
WHAT THIS ARTICLE TELLS US THAT IS NEW: BACKGROUND:: Tracheal intubation is a common intervention in the operating room and intensive care unit. The authors hypothesized that tracheal using direct laryngoscopy would be associated with worse conditions more complications unit compared room.The prospectively evaluated during 33 months patients who were tracheally intubated room, subsequently (within 1-month time frame). primary outcome was to compare difference glottic visualization modified...
Summary Introduction The optimal introducer for tracheal intubation with a hyperangulated blade videolaryngoscope patients in the ICU remains uncertain. Both stylets and flexible‐tip bougies have been used, yet there is limited evidence on which more efficacious. Methods We conducted randomised controlled trial comparing bougie vs. stylet using (C‐MAC ® D‐blade). Adults admitted to who required were included. Primary outcome was first‐attempt success. Secondary outcomes included number of...
<h2>ABSTRACT</h2><h3>Objective</h3> Tracheal intubation in cardiac surgery patients has a higher incidence of difficult laryngoscopic views compared to undergoing other types surgery. We hypothesize that using the McGrath Mac videolaryngoscope as first option for improves percentage with "<i>easy intubation</i>" direct Macintosh laryngoscope. <h3>Design</h3> A prospective, observational, before-after study. <h3>Setting</h3> At tertiary care hospital. <h3>Participants</h3> One thousand one...
In the treatment for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), World Health Organization (WHO) recommends prone positioning (PP) during mechanical ventilation periods of 12-16 h/d to potentially improve oxygenation and survival. this prospective observational study, we evaluated ability long PP sessions in awake intensive care unit (ICU) patients with moderate or ARDS due COVID-19.
BACKGROUND After cardiac surgery, a patient's trachea is usually extubated; however, 2 to 13% of surgery patients require reintubation in the ICU. OBJECTIVE The objective this study was compare initial intubation operating room with (if required) ICU following surgery. DESIGN A prospective, observational study. SETTING Department Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Clinical Hospital Santiago, Spain. PATIENTS With approval local ethics committee, over 44-month period, we prospectively...
Abstract Background Recent meta-analyses and randomized studies have shown that among patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular thrombectomy, general anesthesia mechanical ventilation is associated better functional status compared to local sedation, they recommend its use. But once the procedure completed, when optimal moment for extubation? Currently, there are no guidelines recommending extubation. Prolonged time could potentially be linked increased complications such...
There is uncertainty about the optimal videolaryngoscope for awake tracheal intubation in patients with anticipated difficult airway. The use of channelled and unchannelled videolaryngoscopy has been reported, but there a lack evidence on which best option.
