Background Whether noninvasive ventilation should be administered in patients with acute
hypoxemic respiratory failure is debated. Therapy with high-flow oxygen through a nasal …

Background Awake prone positioning has been reported to improve oxygenation for patients
with COVID-19 in retrospective and observational studies, but whether it improves patient-…

Background Moderate therapeutic hypothermia is currently recommended to improve neurologic
outcomes in adults with persistent coma after resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. …

Importance Monitoring of residual gastric volume is recommended to prevent ventilator-associated
pneumonia (VAP) in patients receiving early enteral nutrition. However, studies have …

Rationale: One important concern during high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy in patients
with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure is to not delay intubation. Objectives: To validate …

Importance Tracheal intubation is one of the most commonly performed and high-risk
interventions in critically ill patients. Limited information is available on adverse peri-intubation …

Background Non-invasive ventilation has never been compared with high-flow oxygen to
determine whether it reduces the risk of severe hypoxaemia during intubation. We aimed to …

Rationale: The weaning process concerns all patients receiving mechanical ventilation. A
previous classification into simple, prolonged, and difficult weaning ignored weaning failure …

Purpose High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a relatively recent respiratory support technique
which delivers high flow, heated and humidified controlled concentration of oxygen via the …

Background This systematic review and meta-analysis summarizes the safety and efficacy
of high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. …
