Does closed-loop automated oxygen control reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation? A randomised controlled trial i...
Published in Trials
Many preterm infants require supplemental oxygen in the newborn period but experience frequent fluctuations of their oxygen saturation levels. Intermittent episodes of hypoxia or hyperoxia increase the risk of complications. Compliance with achievement of oxygen saturation targets is variable, and the need for frequent adjustments of the inspired o...
Separation of cardiogenic oscillations from airflow waveforms using singular spectrum analysis.
Published in Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Airflow fluctuations caused by cardiac contraction can trigger inappropriate ventilator pressure support in anesthesia machines and intensive care unit mechanical ventilators. Removal of this cardiogenic artifact from the airflow signal would improve ventilator function. The application of singular spectrum analysis (SSA) to remove cardiogenic osci...
Very late intubation in COVID-19 patients: a forgotten prognosis factor?
Published in Critical care (London, England)
Description of all consecutive critically ill COVID 19 patients hospitalized in ICU in University Hospital of Guadeloupe and outcome according to delay between steroid therapy initiation and mechanical ventilation onset. Very late mechanical ventilation defined as intubation after day 7 of dexamethasone therapy was associated with grim prognosis an...
The rapid development of AmboVent: a simple yet sustainable ventilation solution for use in a pandemic.
...COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged at the end of 2019, generating a rapidly evolving pandemic, raising serious global health implications. Among them was the fear of a mechanical ventilator shortage due to COVID-19's high contagion rate and pathophysiology. Fears of a ventilator shortage unleashed a wave of innovations. This manuscript describes the Amb...
All-cause mortality in COVID-19 patients receiving statin therapy: analysis of veterans affairs database cohort study.
Published in Internal and emergency medicine
Statins have been advocated as a potential treatment for coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) due to its pleotropic properties. The aim of the study was to elucidate the association between antecedent statin exposure and 30-day all-cause mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) admission and hypoxic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation i...

Published in Journal of critical care
To compare neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA), proportional assist ventilation (PAV), adaptive support ventilation (ASV) and Smartcare pressure support (Smartcare/PS) with standard pressure support ventilation (PSV) regarding their effectiveness for weaning critically ill adults from invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Electronic databa...

Prognostication using SpO2/FiO2 in invasively ventilated ICU patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 - Insights from the PRoV...
Published in Journal of critical care
The SpO2/FiO2 is a useful oxygenation parameter with prognostic capacity in patients with ARDS. We investigated the prognostic capacity of SpO2/FiO2 for mortality in patients with ARDS due to COVID-19. This was a post-hoc analysis of a national multicenter cohort study in invasively ventilated patients with ARDS due to COVID-19. The primary endpoin...
The negative impact of obesity on the occurrence and prognosis of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) disease: a syste...
Published in Eating and weight disorders : EWD
The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is an emerging pandemic, with a disease course varying from asymptomatic infection to critical disease resulting to death. Recognition of prognostic factors is essential because of its growing prevalence and high clinical costs. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the global prevalence of obesity in COVID-19 p...
