Systematic Review and Comparison of Publicly Available ICU Data Sets—A Decision Guide for Clinicians and Data Scientists
CONCLUSIONS:
We identified four publicly available adult clinical ICU datasets. Sample size, severity of illness, treatment intensity, and frequency of reported parameters differ markedly between the databases. This should guide clinicians and researchers which databases to best answer their clinical questions. (Source: Critical Care Medicine)

Longitudinal Trends in Bleeding Complications on Extracorporeal Life Support Over the Past Two Decades—Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry Analysis
OBJECTIVES:
Data about inhospital outcomes in bleeding complications during extracorporeal life support (ECLS) have been poorly investigated.
DESIGN:
Retrospective observational study.
SETTING:
Patients reported in Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry.
PATIENTS:
Data of 53.644 adult patients (greater than or equal to 18 yr old) mean age 51.4 ± 15.9 years, 33.859 (64.5%) male supported with single ECLS run between 01.01.2000 and 31.03.2020, and 19.748 cannulated for venovenous (V-V) ECLS and 30.696 for venoarterial (V-A) ECLS.
INTERVENTIONS:
Trends in bleeding complications,...

Aberrant Fibrin Clot Structure Visualized Ex Vivo in Critically Ill Patients With Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Infection
CONCLUSIONS:
We found aberrant fibrin clot structure and function in critically ill patients with COVID-19. These findings may contribute to the poor outcomes observed in COVID-19 patients with widespread fibrin deposition. (Source: Critical Care Medicine)

Does Unprecedented ICU Capacity Strain, As Experienced During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Impact Patient Outcome?
CONCLUSIONS:
For patients admitted to ICU during the pandemic, unprecedented levels of ICU capacity strain were significantly associated with higher acute hospital mortality, after accounting for differences in baseline characteristics. Further study into possible differences in the provision of care and outcome for COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients is needed. (Source: Critical Care Medicine)

Factors Associated With Brain Tissue Oxygenation Changes After RBC Transfusion in Acute Brain Injury Patients
CONCLUSIONS:
Lower PbtO2 values and high HR at baseline could predict a significant increase in brain oxygenation after RBCT. (Source: Critical Care Medicine)

Intracranial Hemorrhages on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Differences Between COVID-19 and Other Viral Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
CONCLUSIONS:
This retrospective multicenter analysis showed a six-fold increased adjusted risk for ICH and a 3.5-fold increased incidence of ICH in COVID-19 patients on ECMO. Prospective studies are needed to confirm this observation and to determine whether the bleeding risk can be reduced by adjusting anticoagulation strategies. (Source: Critical Care Medicine)

Brain Biopsy for Neurological Diseases of Unknown Etiology in Critically Ill Patients: Feasibility, Safety, and Diagnostic Yield
CONCLUSIONS:
Brain biopsy in critically ill patients with neurologic disease of unknown etiology is associated with high diagnostic yield, therapeutic modifications and postbiopsy survival advantage. Safety profile seems acceptable in most patients. The benefit/risk ratio of brain biopsy in this population should be carefully weighted. (Source: Critical Care Medicine)

Drp1/Fis1-Dependent Pathologic Fission and Associated Damaged Extracellular Mitochondria Contribute to Macrophage Dysfunction in Endotoxin Tolerance
This study aims to determine if pathologic mitochondrial fission mediated by Drp1/Fis1 interaction impacts extracellular mitochondrial content and macrophage function in sepsis-induced immunoparalysis.
DESIGN:
Laboratory investigation.
SETTING:
University laboratory.
SUBJECTS:
C57BL/6 and BALB/C mice.
INTERVENTIONS:
Using in vitro and murine models of endotoxin tolerance (ET), we evaluated changes in Drp1/Fis1-dependent pathologic fission and simultaneously measured the quantity and quality of extracellular mitochondria. Next, by priming mouse macrophages with isolated healthy mitochondria (MC) ...
