Background: Mortality from peritonitis due to typhoid intestinal perforation (TIP) in sub-Saharan Africa is high.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the predictive factors of mortality, propose a prognostic score, and determine the appropriate surgical treatment for TIP in low-resource settings.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective data collection of peritonitis due to TIP admitted at Zinder National Hospital from 2014 to 2021.
Background: Active fluid removal has been suggested to improve prognosis following the resolution of acute circulatory failure. We have implemented a routine care protocol to guide fluid removal during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). We designed a before-after pilot study to evaluate the impact of this deresuscitation strategy on the fluid balance.

However, little is known about the current use of CRT in routine clinical practice. This study aimed to assess the modalities of CRT use among French adult and pediatric intensivists.
