Article Synopsis
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in septic patients, and the study aimed to identify if a higher urine output threshold than the standard 0.5 mL/kg/h could indicate increased AKI risk.
- In a post-hoc analysis of septic patients, those with low, moderate, and high urine output had AKI incidences of 53.1%, 48.3%, and 46.3%, respectively, suggesting that higher urine output correlates with lower AKI risk.
- The findings indicated that a urine output over 1.0 mL/kg/h on the day of sepsis diagnosis was associated with reduced AKI incidence, while creating different thresholds for AKI, renal replacement therapy, and
Delta Shock Index and higher incidence of emergency surgery in older adults with blunt trauma.

Purpose: Vital signs are important for predicting clinical outcomes in patients with trauma. However, their accuracy can be affected in older adults because hemodynamic changes are less obvious. This study aimed to examine the usefulness of changes in vital signs during transportation in predicting the need for hemostatic treatments in older patients with trauma.

Accidental hypothermia is a critical illness that reduces oxygen demands, and excessive oxygen is likely to emerge. This study aimed to determine whether hyperoxia would be associated with increased mortality in patients with accidental hypothermia.

Methods: This was a prospective, multicenter, observational study conducted between 2019 and 2021. The study included adults with nontraumatic OHCA admitted to the intensive care unit after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
Aim: To elucidate the effectiveness of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in accidental hypothermia (AH) patients with and without cardiac arrest (CA), including details of complications.
Methods: This study was a multicentre, prospective, observational study of AH in Japan. All adult (aged ≥18 years) AH patients with body temperature ≤32 °C who presented to the emergency department between December 2019 and March 2022 were included.
