Use of Continuous Regional Anesthesia Infusion as an Opioid‐Sparing Modality in Mechanically Ventilated Patients With Acute Traumatic Rib Fractures—A Retrospective Study Open
Background Continuous regional anesthesia (CRA) techniques are used for analgesia in patients with acute rib fractures. However, there is a paucity of evidence supporting the initiation of CRA in patients receiving mechanical ventilation (…

Use of Mechanical Ventilation Across 3 Countries Open
Importance The ability to provide invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is a mainstay of modern intensive care; however, whether rates of IMV vary among countries is unclear. Objective To estimate the per capita rates of IMV in adults acro…

Nonopioid Analgesic Prescriptions Filled after Surgery among Older Adults in Ontario, Canada: A Population-based Cohort Study Open
Background The objective was to assess changes over time in prescriptions filled for nonopioid analgesics for older postoperative patients in the immediate postdischarge period. The authors hypothesized that the number of patients who fill…

Prevalence of Clostridioides difficile Infection in Critically Ill Patients with Extreme Leukocytosis and Diarrhea Open
While early empiric antibiotic therapy is beneficial for patients presenting with sepsis, the presentation of sepsis from Clostridioides difficile (formerly Clostridium difficile) infection (CDI) has not been well studied in large cohorts.…

Persistent Postoperative Opioid Use Open
Background While persistent opioid use after surgery has been the subject of a large number of studies, it is unknown how much variability in the definition of persistent use impacts the reported incidence across studies. The objective was…

Diagnostic and prognostic implications of peak leukocyte count in the intensive care unit Open
Background: It is well established that leukocytosis is a predictor of infection and inflammation, and that leukopenia is a marker of immunocompromise. However, it is possible that the degree of leukocytosis may provide additional informat…
