As a result of its weak sensitivity, the CD64 index may not be practically recommended, but it may be useful in combination with a more sensitive biological marker.

However, individual-level prospective data on SES in relation to health outcomes among critically ill patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) are unavailable. Methods  In a cohort of 1,006 patients at a 24-bed surgical ICU of an academic tertiary care facility in Germany, we examined levels of SES in relation to disease severity at admission, time period of mechanical ventilation, length of stay and frequency of phone calls and visits by next-of-kin. Findings  Patients with low SES had higher risk for Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score greater or equal to 5 [multivariate-adjusted...

The magnitude of expiratory muscle activity can be assessed by measuring ΔIAP. Subtracting ΔIAP from the end-expiratory CVP usually provides a reasonable estimate of the CVP that would be obtained if exhalation were passive.

Both circuit and patient can be cared for by a single trained nurse. Additional prospective studies of ECMO for adult respiratory failure are underway. Contemporary ECMO in awake, potentially ambulant patients to provide short-term support for those with acute, reversible respiratory failure and as a bridge to transplantation in those with irreversible respiratory failure is now ready for widespread evaluation.

Future pediatric critical care studies should consider incorporating the lower consent rates in cardiac surgery patients and routine introduction of the research assistant to the family by a member of the patient’s care team into their study designs. The potential influence of parental factors on consent rates in pediatric critical care studies requires further research.

Mannitol use and placement in a paretic arm are potentially modifiable risk factors. Given the high incidence rate of symptomatic thrombosis, future studies should focus on comparing cumulative complications of centrally inserted venous catheters and PICCs in intensive care patients.

Our findings support previous estimates in Europe and are an order of magnitude lower than those reported in the USA and Australia. Despite use of lung protective ventilation, overall ICU and hospital mortality of ARDS patients is still higher than 40%.

The use of new MRSA-active antibiotics—mainly linezolid—steadily increased over a period of 9 years, although the burden of MRSA stayed stable, as did the proportion of MRSA (%).

In sepsis, albumin is not an important binding molecule. Subnormal increments in total cortisol upon ACTH suffice in assessing relative adrenal insufficiency, particularly in sepsis.

Moreover, their combination increased the length of survival. These findings provide important insights into the mechanisms underlying APC- and/or Dexa-induced improvements of arterial dysfunction during septic shock.
