Article Synopsis
- Mechanical ventilation for myasthenic crisis lacks standardization and is prone to failure; a study investigated using prolonged spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) and pulmonary function tests (PFT) to improve weaning outcomes.
- Of the 126 analyzed cases, the weaning failure rate was 14.3%, notably lower when the cause of the crisis was identified, although factors like mechanical ventilation duration and infection risk influenced prolonged weaning.
- The study suggests that implementing standardized protocols could enhance extubation success, emphasizing the need for further research to validate these findings in larger trials.
Purpose: Critical illness is associated with long-term increased mortality and impaired quality of life (QoL). We assessed whether multidisciplinary consultations would improve outcome at 12 months (M12) after intensive care unit (ICU) discharge.
Methods: We performed an open, multicenter, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial.
Background: Patients' anxiety on intensive care unit (ICU) admission is associated with subsequent deterioration.
Objective: To assess whether patients' fears/anxiety are predictive of new organ failure within 7 days of ICU admission.
Methods: In a prospective 3-center cohort study of non-comatose patients without delirium or invasive mechanical ventilation, 9 specific fears were evaluated through yes/no questions.
Background: Management of status epilepticus (SE) is focused on the early seizure termination. Refractory SE is an indication for sedation in patients with SE, but up to 75% of patients may be ventilated due to a neurological or respiratory failure. In patients requiring sedation, the clinical assessment is not sufficient to assess seizure control.
