However, conducting high-quality trials in CVT is challenging as it rare disease with low rates of adverse outcomes such major bleeding and functional dependence. To facilitate the design future trials, SECRET (Study Rivaroxaban Cerebral Venous Thrombosis) assessed (1) feasibility recruitment, (2) safety rivaroxaban compared standard-of-care anticoagulation,...

Canadian intensive care units (ICUs) often have a higher nurse–patient ratio and more specialised training ICU nurses than French ICUs. Considering these differences, the purpose this study was to compare implementation as indicated by frequency assessment response levels between ICU. Methods This retrospective observational 30 patients who were mechanically ventilated for at...
