Importance: While national guidelines recommend avoidance of hypoxia, hypotension, and hypocarbia in the prehospital care of traumatic brain injury (TBI), limited data validate the association of these adverse physiologic events with TBI outcomes.

Objective: To validate the associations of prehospital hypoxia, hypotension, and hypocarbia with TBI outcomes in a US national trauma network.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study examined data from 8 level I trauma centers and their affiliated ground and air emergency medical services (EMS) agencies in the Linking Investigations in Trauma and Emergency Services (LITES) Network from January 1, 2017, to June 30, 2021.

Morbilliform eruptions, which are a clinical reaction pattern characterized by erythematous macules and papules coalescing into patches that cover most of the skin surface, are one of the most common cutaneous findings in the inpatient setting. In the hospital setting, most causes are benign and due to low-risk drug exanthems; however, morbilliform eruptions may also be a sign of high-risk diseases, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms/drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, and graft-versus-host disease. Proper identification of the etiology and risk stratification of a morbilliform eruption is critical to ensure proper management and optimize patient outcomes.

Interdisciplinary Medical Intensive Care, Medical Center-University of Freiburg, Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg, Hugstetter Straße 55, 79106, Freiburg, Germany.

Background: Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is an established support option for patients with very severe respiratory failure and played an important role during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Bacteria and fungi can lead to severe infectious complications in critically ill patients. The aim of this study was to describe the microbiological spectrum of bacteria and fungi detected in patients with COVID-19-associated respiratory failure supported with VV ECMO in our center.

Introduction: Injury coding with the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) is an important element for benchmarking, trauma registries and research.

Objective: To compare the severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI) coding derived from the AIS with or without the use of a standardised radiologic template.

Methods: A retrospective two-centre cohort study including patients aged ≥ 18 years with isolated TBI admitted to an intensive care between 2011 and 2016 was conducted.
