Introduction: This systematic review aims to evaluate the optimal management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in critically ill surgical patients, specifically focusing on positioning, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) use, ventilation, fluid resuscitation, and pharmacological treatments.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted utilizing four databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, and ProQuest. This study followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and was registered with The International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews.

Background: The antibiotic resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is increasingly severe in bronchiectasis patients. However, there is currently a lack of research on the clinical outcomes of carbapenem-resistant PA (CRPA) isolation in hospitalized exacerbations of bronchiectasis (HEB) patients. We investigated the incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of PA and CRPA isolation in HEB patients.

Background: Intravenous albumin is used for resuscitation and substitution but is not supported by high-certainty evidence. As clinical practice likely varies, we aimed to describe the issuing of albumin solutions across Danish public hospitals.
Methods: We assessed issuing of intravenous albumin solutions (5% and 20%) to all Danish public hospitals in 2022.

Unlabelled: Introduction-Aim: Validated triage tools such as the Vittel criteria are essential to improve the care of trauma patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the Vittel triage criteria and the Injury Severity Score (ISS) to improve the accuracy of pre-hospital triage.
Methods: We conducted a longitudinal study of all trauma patients transported by EMS over a two-year period (November 2021- November 2023).

Sepsis often leads to vasoplegia and a hyperdynamic cardiac state, with treatment focused on restoring vascular tone. However, sepsis can also cause reversible myocardial dysfunction, particularly in the elderly with pre-existing heart conditions. The Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines recommend using dobutamine with norepinephrine or epinephrine alone for patients with septic shock with cardiac dysfunction and persistent hypoperfusion despite adequate fluid resuscitation and stable blood pressure.
