Risk Factors of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in Critically III Patients

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), a hospital acquired pneumonia that occurs more than 48 h after mechanical ventilation, is a common complication of mechanical ventilation with a high mortality rate. VAP can cause patients to have difficulty weaning

Performance and impact of a multiplex PCR in ICU patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia or ventilated hospital-acquired pneumonia

Critical Care, 2020
Background Early appropriate antibiotic therapy reduces morbidity and mortality of severe pneumonia. However, the emergence of bacterial resistance requires the earliest use of antibiotics with the narrowest possible spectrum.

Dual‐Pedicle Tissue‐Engineered Trachea Promotes Biomimetic Cartilaginous Framework, Vascularization, and Epithelial Lining for Long‐Segment Tracheal Reconstruction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Overcoming the limitations of conventional grafts, a biomimetic trachea with two independent vascular pedicles enables rapid integration and sustained patency. This approach markedly improves survival rates, restores the epithelial barrier, and promotes regenerative pathways, presenting a transformative paradigm for clinical application.

Impact of Intraoperative Fluid Volume on Complications After Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy: Analysis of 8782 Patients From the Japanese National Clinical Database

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This multicenter cohort study of 8782 esophagectomies in Japan found that higher intraoperative fluid volume significantly increased the risk of pneumonia after minimally invasive esophagectomy. Avoiding fluid overload may help reduce postoperative pneumonia.

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

Journal of Mechanical Ventilation, 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

Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer: Current Evidence and Future Perspectives

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Esophageal cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy with regional variations in histological subtypes. Adenocarcinoma predominates in Western countries, whereas squamous cell carcinoma is more common in Asia. Despite advances in multimodal therapy, esophagectomy remains the cornerstone of curative treatment, and the development of various ...

Профилактика инфекций при тяжелых повреждениях мозга: акцентирование на вентилятор-ассоциированную пневмонию и наружное вентрикулярное дренирование [PDF]

, 2017
Вентилятор-ассоциированная пневмония у пациентов с тяжелой черепно-мозговой травмой может достигать 40 %, и это в значительной степени связано с длительным воздействием механической вентиляции легких.
