Article Synopsis
- The objective of the research was to create a unified framework to analyze 5 large publicly available ICU datasets from American and European sources.
- Findings included the development of a mapping for clinical concepts, synchronization of measurement units, and the creation of a user-friendly R-package (ricu) that allows for easy access to and analysis of the datasets.
- The conclusion emphasized that the ricu R-package streamlines ICU dataset analysis and promotes reproducibility in research, but acknowledges the need for further development of a comprehensive dictionary of clinical concepts.
Background: Prone positioning improves oxygenation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to COVID-19. However, its haemodynamic effects are poorly understood.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the acute haemodynamic changes associated with prone position in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 ARDS.
Vasodilatory shock is the final common pathway for all forms of severe shock, with sepsis the most common primary etiology and the leading cause of critical illness-related mortality. The pathophysiology of this condition remains incompletely elucidated. Deficiency of the neuropeptide hormone vasopressin seems to play a significant role.
