Objective: To assess whether the respiratory oxygenation index (ROX index) measured after the start of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy can help identify the need for intubation in patients with acute respiratory failure due to coronavirus disease 2019.
Methods: This retrospective, observational, multicenter study was conducted at the intensive care units of six Brazilian hospitals from March to December 2020. The primary outcome was the need for intubation up to 7 days after starting the high-flow nasal cannula.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses sterilization and rabies vaccination programs aimed at managing free-roaming domestic dog populations to reduce disease transmission and conflicts.
- It notes the challenges of capturing dogs for these interventions and highlights a lack of data on how capture rates change over time in specific areas.
- By analyzing capture data and population surveys from Goa, India, the study reveals that as more dogs are sterilized, it becomes progressively harder and costlier to capture the remaining unsterilized dogs, emphasizing the need for better planning in these dog management programs.
