Transitions of Care in Cystic Fibrosis
The development of formal transition models emerged to reduce variability in care, including cystic fibrosis (CF) responsibility, independence, self-care, and education (RISE), which provides a standardized transition program, including knowledge assessments, self-management checklists, and milestones for people with CF. Despite these interventions, the current landscape of health care transition (HCT) remains suboptimal, and additional focused attention on HCT is necessary. Standardization of assessment tools to gauge the efficacy of transfer from pediatric to adult care is a high priority. Such tools should incorporate b...

Update in Advancing the Gastrointestinal Frontier in Cystic Fibrosis
Clinical complications of cystic fibrosis (CF) include a variety of gastrointestinal (GI) and hepatobiliary manifestations. Recent years have witnessed several advances in the understanding and management of these complications, in addition to opportunities for therapeutic innovations. Herein we review the current understanding of these disorders and also discuss the management of the GI and hepatobiliary complications experienced by persons with CF.

Update on Lung Transplantation for Cystic Fibrosis
Lung transplantation provides a treatment option for many individuals with advanced lung disease due to cystic fibrosis (CF). Since the first transplants for CF in the 1980s, survival has improved and the opportunity for transplant has expanded to include individuals who previously were not considered candidates for transplant. Criteria to be a transplant candidate vary significantly among transplant programs, highlighting that the engagement in more than one transplant program may be necessary. Individuals with highly resistant CF pathogens, malnutrition, osteoporosis, CF liver disease, and other comorbidities may be suit...

Cystic Fibrosis in the Era of Highly Effective CFTR Modulators
Cystic fibrosis (CF) was described as a clinical entity more than eighty years ago.1 –3 With the development of comprehensive care centers and therapies directed at the signs and symptoms of the disease, survival improved.4 What once was a disease only of children has become a chronic disease of adults for whom the median predicted survival is fifty years of age.5,6 As the natural history of CF has evolved, so has the recognition of previously underdiagnosed populations of people with CF, contributing to its rising prevalence around the world.

Lung Transplantation for Coronavirus Disease-2019 Patients and Coronavirus Disease-2019 in Lung Transplant Recipients
Lung transplant is a life-saving treatment for carefully selected patients with respiratory failure related to the infection with coronavirus disease-2019. Despite a complex pretransplant medical course, the posttransplant outcomes are excellent when performed by experienced centers. (Source: Clinics in Chest Medicine)

Point-of-Care Ultrasound in the Intensive Care Unit
The use of point-of-care ultrasonography in the intensive care unit has been rapidly advancing over the past 20 years. This review will provide a broad overview of the discipline spanning lung ultrasonography to advanced critical care echocardiography. It will highlight new research that questions the utility of the inferior vena cava for determining volume responsiveness and will introduce the reader to cutting-edge technology including artificial intelligence, which is likely to revolutionize ultrasound teaching and image interpretation, increasing the reach of this modality for the frontline clinician.

Capnography for Monitoring of the Critically Ill Patient
Capnography has been widely adopted in multiple clinical areas. The capnogram and end-tidal carbon dioxide offer a wealth of information, in the right clinical setting, and when properly interpreted. In this article, the authors aim to review the most common clinical scenarios during which capnography has been shown to be of benefit. This includes the areas of fluid responsiveness, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and conscious sedation. They review the published literature, highlighting its pitfalls and identifying its limitations. (Source: Clinics in Chest Medicine)

Novel and Rapid Diagnostics for Common Infections in the Critically Ill Patient
There are several novel platforms that enhance detection of pathogens that cause common infections in the intensive care unit. These platforms have a sample to answer time of a few hours, are often higher yield than culture, and have the potential to improve antibiotic stewardship. (Source: Clinics in Chest Medicine)
