Background: Indirect calorimetry (IC) is the gold standard to monitor energy expenditure in critically ill patients. In several intensive care units (ICUs), nurses are responsible for carrying out the measurements.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess nurses' perception of their involvement in IC.
Background: Although diarrhoea is a real source of morbidity for critically ill patients, this issue has been little studied, making it difficult to understand its mechanisms and management.
Aims: We conducted a quality improvement study in an adult surgical intensive care unit before/after the implementation of a specific protocol to firstly improve diarrhoea management for patient benefit and secondly to understand the impact on caregivers.
Study Design: The first part of this before/after study consisted in assessing the proportion of patients receiving an anti-diarrheal treatment before (phase I)/after (phase II) the implementation of the protocol.
Background: Recent studies highlight that female anaesthesiology researchers have lower visibility on professional social networks (PSNs) than male researchers.
Objective: The objective of this work was to compare the use of PSNs between women and men in critical care research.
Methods: We included the first/last authors (FAs/LAs) among the most frequently cited articles in 2018 and 2019 in three critical care journals (Intensive Care Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, and Critical Care).
Background: Postoperative pain after cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) is important. It appears essential to reduce postoperative pain and morphine consumption.
Methods: Retrospective study in a university hospital comparing patient benefiting from CRS-HIPEC under opioid-free anesthesia (OFA; dexmedetomidine) to those anesthetized with opioid anesthesia (OA; remifentanil) using a propensity score matching method.
Purpose: Participating in international conferences is an essential way to promote scholarly work. We aimed to assess the trend of women's visibility at the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) congress by describing the evolution of the proportion of women speakers between 2011 and 2019.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective study including public data obtained from the 2011, 2015, and 2019 ESPEN congresses.
Purpose: Intensive care medicine (ICM) has the particularity of being a multidisciplinary specialty and its literature reflects this multidisciplinarity. However, the proportion of each field in this literature and its trend dynamics are not known. The objective of this study was to analyze the ICM literature, extract latent topics and search for the presence of research trends.

Objective: The aim of this viewpoint is to describe the worldwide presence and activity of national anesthesia societies on SNs.
Methods: This observational study assessed the active presence (≥1 post in the year preceding the collection date) of the World Federation of Societies of Anesthesiologists member societies on the SNs Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
Background And Aims: Energy metabolism (energy deficit, substrate consumption) in the early phase of septic shock is not clearly understood. The objective of this study was to describe its evolution using indirect calorimetry.
Methods: Prospective observational pilot study including ventilated adult patients with septic shock admitted in a surgical intensive care unit (ICU).
Background: Social networks are now essential tools for promoting research and researchers. However, there is no study investigating the link between presence or not on professional social networks and scientific publication or citation for a given researcher.
Objective: The objective of this study was to study the link between professional presence on social networks and scientific publications/citations among anesthesia researchers.
Background: The benefit of a stay in an intensive care unit (ICU) is not certain for older patients, particularly in the surgical context.
Aims: The objective of this study was to identify the factors associated with an unfavourable outcome in this population.
Design: Prospective, descriptive, monocentric study conducted in the surgical ICU of a French university hospital.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and health outcomes in critically ill COVID-19 patients, focusing on metabolic risk factors like diabetes and hypertension.
- Conducted across 21 medical centers, the research included 1,461 patients and found that over 73% required invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), with a 28-day mortality rate estimated at 36.1%.
- Results indicated a positive linear relationship between BMI and the need for IMV, while a nonlinear association linked higher BMI (especially in obesity class III) to increased mortality risk.
Background: Noise, which is omnipresent in operating rooms and ICUs, may have a negative impact not only patients but also on the concentration of and communication between clinical staff.
Objective: The present study attempted to evaluate the impact of noise on the performance of anaesthesiology residents' clinical reasoning. Changes in clinical reasoning were measured by script concordance tests (SCTs).
