Background: Trunk inclination in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in the supine position has gained scientific interest due to its effects on respiratory physiology, including mechanics, oxygenation, ventilation distribution, and efficiency. Changing from flat supine to semi-recumbent increases driving pressure due to decreased respiratory system compliance. Positional adjustments also deteriorate ventilatory efficiency for CO removal, particularly in COVID-19-associated ARDS (C-ARDS), indicating likely lung parenchyma overdistension.

- Invasive fusariosis is a serious fungal infection that particularly threatens immunocompromised patients in intensive care, with a
- mortality rate of 56%
- identified in a study of 55 cases in French ICUs.
- Most patients (76%) developed pneumonia, which often resulted in
- acute respiratory failure
- Key risk factors for increased mortality include high organ failure scores at ICU admission and prior history of
- stem cell transplantation or hematologic cancers
- , highlighting the need for careful monitoring in at-risk patients.
