Purpose: Herpesvirus reactivation has been documented among patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, particularly for cytomegalovirus (CMV). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been poorly studied despite >95% of the population being seropositive. Our preliminary study suggested an association between EBV reactivation and increased morbidity and mortality.

- Neurological assessments in sedated patients are difficult and lack a definitive monitoring method.
- A case involved a patient sedated for acute respiratory distress syndrome, with delayed awakening that required transcranial Doppler and optic nerve sheath diameter measurements for brain evaluation.
- Abnormal optic nerve sheath diameter indicated high intracranial pressure due to hematomas, but normal transcranial Doppler readings showed successful cerebral autoregulation, emphasizing the value of using noninvasive techniques in these scenarios.
Application of tourniquet in civilian trauma: Systematic review of the literature.
Anaesth Crit Care Pain Med

Introduction: The effectiveness of a tourniquet (TQ) in case of extremity haemorrhages is well recognised to prevent deaths on the battlefield. However, little is known about the usefulness of TQ in civilian trauma settings, including terrorist attack situations. The aim of this systematic review was to analyse the evidence-based medical literature in order to precise the use of TQ in the management of extremity haemorrhages in civilian setting.
