Factors associated with acute kidney injury after on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs as a complication of cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Its prevalence and severity are determined by various preoperative and intraoperative factors. The aim of this study was to examine the risk factors for AKI following on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Implementation of a Multimodal Knowledge-Exchange Platform to Provide Trauma Critical Care Education During the Ongoing Conflict in Ukraine.

Importance: The conflict in Ukraine has forced civilian hospitals with limited trauma and battlefield medicine experience to care for casualties of war, placing significant strain on the health care system. Using the Checklist for Early Recognition and Treatment of Acute Illness and Injury (CERTAIN) program, a multimodal trauma critical care knowledge-exchange platform was created for clinicians practicing in these institutions.

Objectives: To describe the development and implementation of the CERTAIN for Ukraine program and to evaluate the reach of this intervention, together with participant engagement and satisfaction.

Nosocomial transmission of multi-drug-resistant organisms in Ukrainian hospitals: results of a multi-centre study (2019-2021).

Background: The increasing emergence and spread of multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in hospitals is a public health problem and continues to challenge infection control and hospital epidemiology practice worldwide.

Aim: The aim of this study was to characterize the epidemiology of transmission of MDROs via healthcare workers (HCWs) and the environment in the hospital wards/patient rooms.

Methods: A multi-centre prospective observational study was conducted in 17 hospitals in Ukraine.

SAFETY OF USING DURAL PUNCTURE EPIDURAL ANALGESIA AS A METHOD OF LABOR ANALGESIA.

Objective: The aim: To evaluate the clinical characteristics of complications and side effects of CSE and DPE as a method of analgesia.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study included 137 patients who had a vaginal birth using one of two, CSE or DPE methods of analgesia. All of them were divided into two groups: Group I - 54 women (DPE group) and Group II - 83 women (CSE group).
