Introduction: Fluid administration is a commonly practiced intervention in the intensive care unit (ICU) with normal saline being the preferred fluid. We sought to understand the current practice of fluid administration and choice of fluids in Indian ICUs and its effect on renal outcomes.
Materials And Methods: The Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM)-endorsed multicenter prospective observational study was conducted on practice of fluid administration in critically ill patients between May 1, 2020, and January 31, 2023.
Aim And Objectives: To evaluate the correlation between whether the COVID-19 pandemic turned out to be a great premise for increasing the incidence of linezolid resistance infections.
Materials And Method: The current retrospective study included data from March 2018 to March 2023 from a single center. The clinical records of the patients were reviewed to extract clinical data.
Article Synopsis
- Septic shock is a serious condition related to sepsis, and current treatments often yield poor outcomes, prompting the exploration of new therapies like CytoSorb, which shows potential for improvement.
- A consensus was created to guide the use of CytoSorb for septic shock treatment specifically in India, combining expert opinions and evidence from recent literature.
- After multiple rounds of voting, 11 experts reached agreement on nine key statements related to the use of CytoSorb, highlighting aspects like therapy timing, patient condition prerequisites, and treatment effectiveness.
Background: Critically ill patients are frequently transported to various locations within the hospital for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, which increases the risk of adverse events (AEs). This multicenter prospective observational study was undertaken to determine the incidence of AEs related to intrahospital transport, their severity, and their effects on patient outcomes.
Patients And Methods: We included consecutive unstable critically ill patients requiring intrahospital transport, across 15 Indian tertiary care centers over 5 months (October 11, 2022-February 20, 2023).
Secondary infections modify the overall course of hospitalized patients with COVID-19: a retrospective study from a network of hospitals across North India.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to understand the prevalence of secondary bacterial and fungal infections in hospitalized COVID-19 patients in India, and how these infections influence patient outcomes and control measures.
- A comprehensive analysis of electronic health records from 10 hospitals revealed that 9.8% of the 19,852 COVID-19 patients developed secondary infections, which were significantly more common in older patients and those with severe disease.
- The most frequent infections were urinary (41.7%) and blood-related (30.8%), with Gram-negative bacilli being the predominant pathogens, leading to increased hospitalization duration for affected patients.
