Clinical empathy in a medium and high-risk Brazilian unit
CONCLUSIONS: In this scenario, clinical empathy should improve. There is a need to improve the domain of Walking in the Patient's Shoes, in this case, the neonate, and provide more empathic care to them.PMID:38715281 | DOI:10.1177/09697330241238334 (Source: Nursing Ethics)

Bidirectional association between pneumonia and intestinal infection: an analysis of the MIMIC-IV database
This study included 50,920 patients, of which 7493 were diagnosed with pneumonia. Compared with non-pneumonia patients, the incidence of intestinal infection in pneumonia patients was significantly increased [OR 1.58 (95% CI 1.34 –1.85;P < 0.001)]. Cox proportional hazards regression model showed no significant effect of co-infection on 28-day mortality in patients with pneumonia (P = 0.223). Patients in the intestinal infection group exhibited a longer length stay in ICU and hospital than those without intestinal infection (P < 0.001). In the ICU, patients with pneumonia were more likely linked to in...

The Safety of Pediatric Bedside Tracheostomy
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that pediatric open bedside tracheostomy in an ICU setting is a safe procedure, with similar complications and outcomes compared to tracheostomy performed in the operating room.PMID:38712736 | DOI:10.1177/00034894241252231 (Source: The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology)

Risk Factors and Prognosis of Acute Kidney Injury in Hospitalised Sepsis Patients
CONCLUSIONS: SOFA, APACHE II, ICU admission days, mechanical ventilation support, serum creatinine and non-continuous renal replacement therapy may be the influencing factors leading to death in patients with sepsis complicated with AKI. Early clinical intervention should be performed.PMID:38715167 | DOI:10.56434/j.arch.esp.urol.20247703.35 (Source: Archivos Espanoles de Urologia)

Impact of low-dose aspirin exposure on obstetrical outcomes: a meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: To sum up, LDA significantly improved neonatal outcomes in pregnant women at high risk of PE without elevating the risk of placental abruption. These findings support LDA's clinical application in pregnant women, although further research is needed to refine dosage and timing recommendations.PMID:38712869 | DOI:10.1080/0167482X.2024.2344079 (Source: Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynaecology)

A randomized trial of the inflammatory cytokines levels and the blood transfusion rate between miniaturized tubing group and conventional tubing group in congenital heart disease open heart surgeries
CONCLUSION: Implementing the miniaturized extracorporeal circuit system could decrease the inflammatory cytokines at a certain level. The blood transfusion rate is significantly lower in miniaturized extracorporeal circuit group This indicates the miniaturized extracorporeal circuit system might be a safer CPB strategy with fewer possible inflammation-induced or blood transfusion-related complications.PMID:38712960 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241252720 (Source: Perfusion)

Implementation of a digital diary in the intensive care unit; understanding the facilitators and barriers: A qualitative exploration
In the recent years, digital intensive care unit (ICU) diaries have emerged as more advantageous than paper diaries. Despite the advantages of digital diaries, the successful implementation and maintenance of this digital intervention present significant challenges in clinical practice. Therefore, understanding the facilitators and barriers among stakeholders influencing this process becomes imperative for devising a tailored strategy to integrate digital diaries effectively within ICU settings.

Management, Utilization, and Outcomes of Preterm Labor in an Integrated Health Care System
Conclusion This study demonstrates that positive fFN results were associated with an increased odds of sPTB, RDS, and NICU admission and the association with sPTB was inversely proportional to CL. Additionally, negative fFN results were associated with decreased odds of sPTB, RDS, and NICU admissions. fFN testing may predict these and other sPTB-related adverse outcomes hence its utility should be explored further. Moreover, fFN testing has some cost savings over TVUS.
