Article Synopsis
- This study observed 339 patients admitted to the ICU after experiencing anaphylaxis over five years in France, highlighting the need for more data on such cases.
- The majority of anaphylaxis cases were triggered by drugs (77%), with notable under-administration of recommended fluid resuscitation in severe cases.
- Lactate concentration at ICU admission emerged as a strong predictor of mortality, while the timing of epinephrine administration did not differ significantly between survivors and non-survivors.
Background: There is little descriptive data on Stenotrophomonas maltophilia hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in critically ill patients. The optimal modalities of antimicrobial therapy remain to be determined. Our objective was to describe the epidemiology and prognostic factors associated with S.

AKI is a common postoperative complication of aortic surgery. We sought to evaluate the performance of the immediately postoperative pNGAL level in comparison with the serum creatinine (SCr) level in predicting AKI and the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT).

Study Design: Prospective, transversal, single center study.
Materials And Methods: Evaluation of the acceptability of complications associated with obstetric epidural analgesia performed using a questionnaire of six clinical scenarii in two populations: parturients cared at the University maternity of Nancy and anesthesiologists of Lorraine.
Introduction: As alpha-2 agonists preserve ventilator drive, patients presenting with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS, Pa02/FiO2 < 200) were managed using sedation with an alpha-2 agonist, clonidine, combined to spontaneous ventilation (SV) + pressure support ventilation (PS).
Methods: Sedation was provided by an alpha-2 agonist, clonidine 1-2 microg x kg(-1( x h(-1), without bolus administration, and supplemented with a neuroleptic, loxapine, if needed. Four patients presenting with ARDS were managed with pressure support ventilation (PS = 8 cm H20,rarely 10-12 cm H20) and high PEEP (10-20 cm H20).
