Outcomes of non-COVID-19 critically ill patients with hematologic malignancies a 10-year single-center retrospective analysis.

We report the outcomes of patients with haematological malignancies admitted to ICUs and define pre-ICU prognostic factors for in-hospital mortality. In a retrospective, single-center study, we included all patients with haematologic malignancies admitted to ICUs between 2009 and 2019. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality.

Lung ultrasound is associated with distinct clinical phenotypes in COVID-19 ARDS: A retrospective observational study.

Background: ARDS is a heterogeneous syndrome with distinct clinical phenotypes. Here we investigate whether the presence or absence of large pulmonary ultrasonographic consolidations can categorize COVID-19 ARDS patients requiring mechanical ventilation into distinct clinical phenotypes.

Methods: This is a retrospective study performed in a tertiary-level intensive care unit in Israel between April and September 2020.

Forward step down test - clinical rating is correlated with joint angles of the pelvis and hip: an observational study.

Background: Clinical methods for assessing quality of movement and functional tests are important to clinicians. Typical deviations from normal kinematics during the clinical test of Forward Step Down Test (FSDT) are pelvic tilt and hip adduction which are associated with the risk of knee pain.

Objectives: (1) to examine the correlation between clinical assessment of the FSDT and joint angle measurements of pelvis, hip, knee and ankle joints in males and females; (2) to examine the differences in joint angles between individuals rated as good, fair or poor in a FSDT performance test.

Extracorporal Membrane Oxygenation in Nonintubated Patients (Awake ECMO) With COVID-19 Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome: The Israeli Experience.

In this retrospective multicenter observational study, we describe the Israeli experience with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) for the treatment of COVID-19-induced severe adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), in which ECMO cannulation was done while the patients were awake and spontaneously breathing without endotracheal tube, namely "awake ECMO." We enrolled all adult patients with severe ARDS due to COVID-19, treated with VV ECMO between March 1, 2020, and November 30, 2021, in which cannulation was done while the patient was awake and spontaneously breathing. During the study period, 365 COVID-19 ARDS patients were treated with VV ECMO.
