Objective: To derive a clinical prediction rule that uses bedside clinical variables to predict extubation failure (reintubation within 48 h) after a successful spontaneous breathing trial.
Methods: This prospective observational cohort study was performed at the Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, which is a large tertiary-care university hospital. Among 673 consecutive patients who received mechanical ventilation during a 15-month period, 122 were ventilated for at least 2 days and did not undergo withdrawal of support or tracheostomy. These patients were followed after extubation to identify those who were reintubated within 48 h (extubation failure). We used logistic regression analysis to identify variables that predict reintubation, and we used bootstrap resampling to internally validate the predictors and adjust for overoptimism.
Results: Sixteen (13%) of the 122 patients required reintubation within 48 h. Three clinical variables predicted reintubation: moderate to copious endotracheal secretions (p = 0.001), Glasgow Coma Scale score < or =10 (p = 0.004), and hypercapnia (P(aCO(2)) > or = 44 mm Hg) during the spontaneous breathing trial (p = 0.001). Using logistic regression and bootstrap resampling to adjust for overfitting, we derived a clinical prediction rule that combined those 3 clinical variables (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.87, 95% confidence interval 0.74-0.94).
Conclusions: With our clinical prediction rule that incorporates an assessment of mental status, endotracheal secretions, and pre-extubation P(aCO(2)), clinicians can predict who will fail extubation despite a successful spontaneous breathing trial.

Introduction: Evidence suggests that mechanical power (MP) normalized to dynamic compliance, which equals power density, may help identify prolonged ventilated patients at risk for spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) failure. This study compared MP density with traditional spontaneous breathing indexes to predict a patient's capacity to sustain a short trial of unassisted breathing.
Methods: A prospective observational study on 186 prolonged ventilated, tracheotomized patients.
Background: A multi-center study in Los Angeles (USC), Kansas City (KUMC) and Dallas (UT-SWMC) quantified via predictive modeling the dynamics of cerebral perfusion regulation (CO2 vasoreactivity and cerebral autoregulation) in MCI/AD patients and cognitively normal controls under resting conditions. The goal was to develop model-based physio-markers for accurate diagnosis of MCI and pre-clinical AD, motivated by our previous findings of significant impairment of cerebral perfusion regulation in MCI and mild AD patients.
Method: Continuous spontaneous changes in arterial blood pressure, end-tidal CO2, cerebral blood flow velocity in middle cerebral arteries and cortical tissue oxygenation at lateral prefrontal cortex were recorded over two 6-8 min sessions, separated by session of slow-paced breathing (6 breaths/minute), in 53 MCI (28 APOE4 non-carriers and 25 APOE4 carriers), 33 mild AD patients (13 APOE4 non-carriers and 20 APOE4 carriers) and 74 age/sex-matched cognitively normal controls (50 APOE4 non-carriers and 24 APOE4 carriers).

Background: Traumatic physical injuries can lead to psychological distress and increased risk of psychiatric disorders, often reflected in dysregulated autonomic responses measurable through heart rate variability (HRV). Slow-paced breathing has shown potential in enhancing HRV, but its effectiveness in injured survivors remains unexplored. This study investigates the effect of slow-paced breathing on HRV among injured survivors compared to non-injured individuals and explores the influence of psychological distress and spontaneous respiratory rate on this effect.

Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is an autosomal recessive platelet functional bleeding disorder caused by mutations in the ITGA2B or ITGB3 genes, often presenting as mucocutaneous bleeding. GT typically presents in infancy, but this study reports a rare case of neonatal presentation in a female infant born to consanguineous parents. The mother, a 27-year-old woman with a family history of GT, presented at 36 weeks gestation for an elective cesarean due to a breech presentation.
