Sepsis and septic shock in patients with malignancies : a Groupe de Recherche Respiratoire en Réanimation Onco-Hématologique study [PDF]
Objectives: Cancer affects up to 20% of critically ill patients, and sepsis is one of the leading reasons for ICU admission in this setting. Early signals suggested that survival might be increasing in this population. However, confirmation studies have

Pediatric Noninvasive Ventilation [PDF]
Noninvasive ventilation has been available for many years for use in the pediatric population. Historically, continuous positive airway pressure and bilevel positive airway pressure modes were used for respiratory diseases, including neonatal apnea, bronchiolitis, asthma, and pneumonia.

Physiopathological rationale of using high-flow nasal therapy in the acute and chronic setting: A narrative review [PDF]
Chronic lung disease and admissions due to acute respiratory failure (ARF) are becoming increasingly common. Consequently, there is a growing focus on optimizing respiratory support, particularly non-invasive respiratory support, to manage these ...

Acute respiratory failure in patients with hematological malignancies : outcomes according to initial ventilation strategy : a Groupe de recherche respiratoire en réanimation onco-hématologique (Grrr-OH) study [PDF]
Background: In patients with hematological malignancies and acute respiratory failure (ARF), noninvasive ventilation was associated with a decreased mortality in older studies. However, mortality of intubated patients decreased in the last years. In this

An investigation into the effects of commencing haemodialysis in the critically ill [PDF]
<b>Introduction:</b> We have aimed to describe haemodynamic changes when haemodialysis is instituted in the critically ill. 3 hypotheses are tested: 1)The initial session is associated with cardiovascular instability, 2)The initial ...
