Objective: The anaesthesiology and intensive care physician demography is becoming critical in most French regions; more than 56% of the residents trained in Lorraine are leaving the area after they graduate.
Methodology: A descriptive and retrospective survey was carried out. The aims of the research were threefold: to ascertain firstly, why residents chose Lorraine in the first instance, secondly their experiences of the training and thirdly their expectations. The target group consisted of 76 former anaesthesia residents dating back to 1996.
Results: The response rate was 72.4%. Choosing Lorraine was based on its well-established teaching program (64%) and also on results achieved at National Medical Examination (85%). The academic medical training and working conditions were well-rated. A position was offered to 93% of the residents. Fifty-three percent stated having had previous work experience in the hospital as a decisive factor in taking up a position. By the end of the residency program, only 43.5% of anesthesia physicians remained in Lorraine; i.e., 79% were native to Lorraine and 25% born outside. Reasons given for leaving Nancy were: family (81%), more favourable climate (51%) and to go back to their region of origin (45%).
Conclusion: Desired improvements would be: better performance of the Lorraine born students at the National Medical Examination, earlier and well-defined job offers, better communication within the team and consideration of the family situation as a whole.

Epidemiology, ventilator management, and outcomes in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) because of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have been described extensively but have never been compared between countries. We performed an individual patient data analysis of four observational studies to compare epidemiology, ventilator management, and outcomes. We used propensity score weighting to control for confounding factors.

Pandemic COronaVIrus Disease-19 (COVID-19) was a traumatic event that had a significant impact on the mental health of healthcare workers (HCWs), especially intensive care units (ICUs). Months of exposure and the threat of death can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and high physical and emotional strain can lead to burnout syndrome (BOS). The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of PTSD and BOS among ICU HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Identifying effective biomarkers has long been a persistent need for early diagnosis and targeted therapy of disease. While mass spectrometry-based label-free proteomics with trace cell has been demonstrated, deep proteomics with ultratrace human biofluid remains challenging due to low protein concentration, extremely limited patient sample volume, and substantial protein contact losses during preprocessing. Herein, we proposed and validated lanthanide metal-organic framework flowers (MOF-flowers), as effective materials, to trap and enrich protein in biofluid jointly through cation-π interaction and O-Ln coordination.

Background: Severe infection is the most frequent disease underlying disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). To improve understanding of the clinical course, we examined the association between infection type and short-term mortality in patients with infection-associated DIC.
Methods: Patients with infection-associated DIC registered in the Danish Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DANDIC) cohort were categorised by infection type: pulmonary, intra-abdominal, urogenital, others, multiple infection sites and unknown foci.

Background: Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) is widely used for point-of-care coagulation testing to reduce blood transfusions. Accurate interpretation of ROTEM data is crucial and requires substantial training. This study investigates the inter- and intrarater reliability of ROTEM interpretation among experts and compares their interpretations with a ROTEM-guided algorithm.
