Severe viral infections requiring intensive care unit admissions- aetiology, co-infections, respiratory interventions and outcomes Open
Introduction Severe viral infections are common in patients requiring admission to intensive care units (ICU). Furthermore, these patients often have additional secondary or co-infections. Despite their prevalence, it remains uncertain to …

Evaluation of the physiological variables and scoring systems at intensive care discharge as predictors of clinical deterioration and readmission: a single-centre retrospective study Open
Objectives We aim to determine, using routinely collected data and common scoring systems, whether parameters seen at intensive care unit (ICU) discharge can be predictive of subsequent clinical deterioration. Design/setting A single-centr…

Pre-Hospital Critical Care for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests with Return of Spontaneous Circulation: A Retrospective Observational Study Open
Background/Objectives: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) are common, with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) achieved in approximately 25% of patients. However, it remains unknown whether post-ROSC care delivered by a pre-hospi…

Exploring Antibacterial Usage and Pathogen Surveillance over Five Years in a Tertiary Referral Teaching Hospital Adult General Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Open
Antimicrobial resistance is a globally recognised health emergency. Intensive care is an area with significant antimicrobial consumption, particularly increased utilisation of broad-spectrum antibacterials, making stewardship programmes es…

Characteristics, Management, and Outcomes of Acute Life-Threatening Asthma in Adult Intensive Care Open
Background: There is limited evidence regarding the management of acute life-threatening asthma in intensive care units (ICUs), and few guidelines have details on this. We aimed to describe the characteristics, management, and outcomes of …

Intensive Care Management of Severe Hyponatraemia—An Observational Study Open
Background and Subject: Hyponatraemia is a common electrolyte disorder. For patients with severe hyponatraemia, intensive care unit (ICU) admission may be required. This will enable close monitoring and allow safe management of sodium leve…

Non-Invasive Ventilation for Community-Acquired Pneumonia: Outcomes and Predictors of Failure from an ICU Cohort Open
Background and Objectives: The use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains controversial. NIV failure in the setting of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure is associated with increased mortality, hi…

Severe Parainfluenza Viral Infection—A Retrospective Study of Adult Intensive Care Patients Open
There is little known about parainfluenza virus (PIV) infection in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Here, we aim to describe the characteristics, clinical course and outcomes of PIV infection in adults requiring intensive care. In…

Prone Positioning in Mechanically Ventilated COVID-19 Patients: Timing of Initiation and Outcomes Open
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a broad implementation of proning to enhance oxygenation in both self-ventilating and mechanically ventilated critically ill patients with acute severe hypoxic respiratory failure. However, there is little data…
View article: Detailed Analysis of Primary Non-invasive Respiratory Support and Outcomes of Subjects With COVID-19 Acute Hypoxaemic Respiratory Failure
Detailed Analysis of Primary Non-invasive Respiratory Support and Outcomes of Subjects With COVID-19 Acute Hypoxaemic Respiratory Failure Open
Background The role of non-invasive (continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or Non-invasive ventilation (NIV)) respiratory support (NIRS) as a primary oxygenation strategy for COVID-19 patients with acute severe hypoxic respiratory fai…

Dynamic blood oxygen indices in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients with acute hypoxic respiratory failure: A cohort study Open
Background Acute hypoxic respiratory failure (AHRF) is a hallmark of severe COVID-19 pneumonia and often requires supplementary oxygen therapy. Critically ill COVID-19 patients may require invasive mechanical ventilation, which carries sig…

Conscious prone positioning during non-invasive ventilation in COVID-19 patients: experience from a single centre Open
Critically ill patients admitted to hospital following SARS-CoV-2 infection often experience hypoxic respiratory failure and a proportion require invasive mechanical ventilation to maintain adequate oxygenation. The combination of prone po…

22 Distribution of high sensitivity troponin taken without conventional clinical indications in critical care patients and its association with critical care mortality Open
Background High sensitivity troponin (hs-cTn) concentrations above the manufacturer's upper limit of normal (ULN) are frequently seen outside the context of MI, particularly in critical care patients. The potential value of hs-cTn as a bio…
