Relationship between ventilator bundle compliance and the occurrence of ventilator-associated events: a prospective cohort study

BMC Nursing, 2022
Background Instead of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), the modern definition of ventilator-associated events (VAEs) has been introduced to identify infectious and noninfectious respiratory complications. Some studies revealed that compliance to the

Health‐related quality of life following total minimally invasive, hybrid minimally invasive or open oesophagectomy: a population‐based cohort study

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
All patients operated for oesophageal cancer in Sweden from 2013 to April 2018 were identified, and 246 patients were recruited to this population‐based nationwide Swedish study. The results show that longitudinal health‐related quality of life after minimally invasive oesophagectomy was similar to that of the open surgical approach.

Nebulized colistin in ventilator-associated pneumonia and tracheobronchitis : historical background, pharmacokinetics and perspectives

, 2021
Clinical evidence suggests that nebulized colistimethate sodium (CMS) has benefits for treating lower respiratory tract infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (GNB). Colistin is positively charged, while CMS is negatively charged,

Aerosol dispersion in a ventilator circuit: towards a model for enhancing our understanding of ventilator-associated pneumonia

, 2023
Background Patients receiving mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours are at risk for developing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Methods We investigated aerosol flow in a ventilator circuit attached to test lungs to better understand how
