Background: This study aimed to compare ventilatory parameters recorded in the first days of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and mortality at day 60 between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and influenza ARDS patients with arterial oxygen tension ( )/inspiratory oxygen fraction ( ) ≤150 mmHg.

Methods: We compared 244 COVID-19 ARDS patients with 106 influenza ARDS patients. Driving pressure, respiratory system compliance ( ), ventilator ratio, corrected minute ventilation (') and surrogate of mechanical power (index=(4×driving pressure)+respiratory rate) were calculated from day 1 to day 5 of ARDS. A propensity score analysis and a principal component analysis (PCA) were performed.

Results: On day 1 of ARDS, COVID-19 patients had significantly higher / (median (interquartile range) 97 (79-129.2) 83 (62.2-114) mmHg; p=0.001), and lower driving pressure (13.0 (11.0-16.0) 14.0 (12.0-16.7) cmHO; p=0.01), ventilatory ratio (2.08 (1.73-2.49 2.52 (1.97-3.03); p<0.001), ' (12.7 (10.2-14.9) 14.9 (11.6-18.6) L·min; p<0.001) and index (80 (70-89) 84 (75-94); p=0.004). PCA demonstrated an important overlap of ventilatory parameters recorded on day 1 between the two groups. From day 1 to day 5, repeated values of / , arterial carbon dioxide tension, ventilatory ratio and ' differed significantly between influenza and COVID-19 patients in the unmatched and matched populations. Mortality at day 60 did not differ significantly after matching (29% 21.7%; p=0.43).

Conclusions: Ventilation was more impaired in influenza than in COVID-19 ARDS patients on the first day of ARDS with an important overlap of values. However, mortality at day 60 did not differ significantly in the matched population.

Background: Severe respiratory distress and acute kidney injury (AKI) are key factors leading to poor outcomes in patients with dengue shock syndrome (DSS). There is still limited data on how much resuscitated fluid and the specific ratios of intravenous fluid types contribute to the development of severe respiratory distress necessitating mechanical ventilation (MV) and AKI in children with DSS.

Methodology/principal Findings: This retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary pediatric hospital in Vietnam between 2013 and 2022.

Expression and Regulation of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Signalling in Acute Lung Inflammation.

Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are central regulators of gene expression in response to oxygen deprivation, a common feature in critical illnesses. The significant burden that critical illnesses place on global healthcare systems highlights the need for a deeper understanding of underlying mechanisms and the development of innovative treatment strategies. Among critical illnesses, impaired lung function is frequently linked to hypoxic conditions.

Background: Fluid management is a crucial critical care component, influencing outcomes such as organ function, renal integrity, and survival in critically ill patients. Recent evidence suggests that balanced crystalloids may offer advantages over isotonic saline, particularly in reducing the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) and other complications. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of balanced crystalloids versus isotonic saline on clinical outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU), focusing on AKI, renal replacement therapy (RRT), and mortality.

Background: Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is the leading cause of short- and long-term mortality associated with lung transplantation. The impact of pretransplantation blood transfusions for recipients is not fully elucidated.

Methods: This is a retrospective review of 206 consecutive lung transplantations performed at a single academic center (Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL) from January 2018 to July 2022.

Preterm infants are at high risk of developing respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Mutations in the genes encoding for surfactant proteins B and C or the ATP-binding cassette transporter A3 (ABCA3) are rare but known to be associated with severe RDS and interstitial lung diseases. The exact prevalence of these mutations in the general population is difficult to determine, as they are usually studied in connection with clinical symptoms.
