We report a case of a 45-year-old patient who developed severe acute respiratory distress syndrome accompanied by renal failure. An infection with a novel human coronavirus was confirmed and found to be the reason for rapidly progressive respiratory failure of our patient.

Objective: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a high-risk procedure with significant morbidity and mortality and there is an uncertain volume-outcome relationship, especially regarding long-term functional outcomes. The aim of this study was to examine the association between ECMO centre volume and long-term death and disability outcomes.
Design Setting And Participants: This is a registry-embedded observational cohort study.

As a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, fibrosis is the common pathway of various chronic inflammatory diseases in organs and causes death in a large number of patients. It can destroy the structure and function of organs and ultimately lead to organ failure, which is a major cause of disability and death in many diseases. However, the regulatory mechanism of organ fibrosis is not well clear and the lack of effective drugs and treatments, which seriously endangers human health and safety.

Sepsis, a condition characterized by a dysregulated host response to infection, can progress to septic shock and lead to various complications. The present study aimed to identify risk factors for the early clinical identification of sepsis patients at heightened risk of complications. In the present study, a total of 383 hospitalized patients with sepsis and positive blood cultures were enrolled.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), as a critical life support technology, has played a significant role in treating patients with refractory respiratory and circulatory failure. In recent years, with the advancements in medical technology, the scope of application of ECMO has been expanding, especially in the fields of acute respiratory distress syndrome, cardiogenic shock and other important roles. However, its high costs, complex operation, and associated risks of complications remain challenges in clinical practice.

Objective: To explore the effects of veno-venous extra corporeal carbon dioxide removal (V-V ECCOR) on local mechanical power and gas distribution in the lungs of patients with mild to moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) receiving non-invasive ventilation.
Methods: Retrospective research methods were conducted. Sixty patients with mild to moderate ARDS complicated with renal insufficiency who were transferred to the respiratory intensive care unit (RICU) through the 96195 platform critical care transport green channel from January 2018 to January 2020 at the collaborative hospitals of Henan Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled.
