Background: The impact of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) managed outside the intensive care unit in patients with early acute respiratory failure remains unclear. We aimed to determine whether adding early NIV prevents the progression to severe respiratory failure.
Methods: In this multinational, randomised, open-label controlled trial, adults with mild acute respiratory failure (arterial oxygen partial pressure/fraction of inspiratory oxygen [Pao/FiO] ratio ≥200) were enrolled across 11 hospitals in Italy, Greece, and Kazakhstan.

Sleep-disordered breathing has been reported in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) type 1A in association with diaphragmatic weakness and sleep apnea syndrome, mainly of the obstructive type (OSA). Improvement has been observed not only in sleep quality but also in neuropathy symptoms in CMT1A patients with OSA following the initiation of continuous positive airway pressure. We report the cases of two siblings affected by CMT1A associated with hemidiaphragm relaxatio necessitating nocturnal non-invasive ventilation (NIV).

Background: Early extubation, defined as removal of the endotracheal tube at the end of surgery before transfer to a designated postoperative care area, is associated with better outcomes after elective infratentorial craniotomy. The Predicting Infratentorial Craniotomy Extubation (PRICE) project was an international survey designed to estimate the rate of early extubation after elective infratentorial craniotomy, as reported by neuroanesthesiologists, neurosurgeons, and neurocritical care specialists.
Methods: Following research ethics board waiver, the 15-question online PRICE survey was circulated to the members of 5 international medical societies over a 15-week period.

Sleep disorders are among the main comorbidities in patients with a Disorder of Consciousness (DOC). Given the key role of sleep in neural and cognitive functioning, detecting and treating sleep disorders in DOCs might be an effective therapeutic strategy to boost consciousness recovery and levels of awareness. To date, no systematic reviews have been conducted that explore the effect of sleep treatments in DOCs; thus, we systematically reviewed the existing studies on both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for sleep disorders in DOCs.

Objectives: The prevalence and clinical implications of small airways involvement in SSc are still to be fully elucidated. The goal of the present work is to assess the prevalence of small airways dysfunction by impulse oscillometry and to determine whether it correlates with selected disease-related features and respiratory-related quality of life.
Methods: Ninety-four SSc patients and 93 healthy controls were studied by impulse oscillometry measurements.
