Background: Indications for Veno-venous (VV) or veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) after trauma rely on poor evidence. The main aims were to describe the population of trauma patients requiring either VV or VA ECMO and report their clinical management and outcomes.

Methods: An observational multicentre retrospective study was conducted in 17 Level 1 trauma centres in France between January 2010 and December 2021.

Background: We aimed to determine the epidemiology and outcomes of unplanned extubation (UE), both accidental and self-extubation, in ICU.

Methods: A multicentre prospective cohort study was conducted in 47 French ICUs. The number of mechanical ventilation (MV) days, and planned and unplanned extubation were recorded in each center over a minimum period of three consecutive months to evaluate UE incidence.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on cytomegalovirus end-organ disease (CMV-EOD) in critically ill, immunocompromised patients across 18 ICUs in France, Israel, and Spain, analyzing clinical characteristics and patient outcomes from January 2010 to December 2021.
  • A total of 185 patients were examined, with pneumonia being the most common form of CMV-EOD, affecting 62.2%, followed by gastrointestinal disease; the overall hospital mortality rate was strikingly high at 61.4%.
  • Key factors linked to increased mortality included having hematologic malignancies, particularly with active graft-versus-host disease, experiencing CMV pneumonia, and low lymphocyte counts

Purpose: The effect of renal replacement therapy (RRT) in comatose patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) remains unclear. We compared two RRT initiation strategies on the probability of awakening in comatose patients with severe AKI.

Methods: We conducted a post hoc analysis of a trial comparing two delayed RRT initiation strategies in patients with severe AKI.

Background: Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) are rare life-threatening bacterial infections. Few data are available regarding neutropenic patients with NSTIs. Our objectives were to describe the characteristics and management of neutropenic patients with NSTIs in intensive care units (ICUs).

Background: Despite expanding use, knowledge on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support during the COVID-19 pandemic remains limited. The objective was to report characteristics, management, and outcomes of patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with a diagnosis of COVID-19 in France and to identify pre-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation factors associated with in-hospital mortality. A hypothesis of similar mortality rates and risk factors for COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was made.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored whether delaying renal replacement therapy (RRT) initiation in critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury could lead to more days without the need for RRT.
  • Conducted in 39 intensive care units in France, the trial randomized 278 patients into two groups: an immediate RRT group and a more-delayed group that only started RRT based on specific clinical indicators.
  • Results showed similar complications and a median of 12 RRT-free days for the delayed group compared to 10 days for the more-delayed group, leading to a conclusion that delaying RRT does not significantly enhance patient outcomes.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), due to SARS-CoV-2, is primarily a respiratory disease, causing in most severe cases life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Cardiovascular involvement can also occur, such as thrombosis or myocarditis, generally associated with pulmonary lesions. Little is known about SARS-CoV-2-induced myocarditis.
