Smith Publisher or Source: British Association of Dermatologists - BAD Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: Critical Care Physicians Country of Origin: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the) Primary Focus of Media: Pre-Use of PICS Designation COVID-19 Related: No Description: The overall objective of the guidelines is to provide up-to-date, evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of the full spectrum of Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and SJS–TEN overlap in adults during the acute phase of the disease. The document aims to: (i) offer an appraisal of all relevant literature up to February 2016, focusing on any key developments; (ii) address important, practical clinical questions relating to the primary guideline objective, i.e. accurate diagnosis and identification of cases and suitable treatment; (iii) provide guideline recommendations; and (iv) discuss areas of uncertainty, potential developments and future directions SJS/TEN is rare and few healthcare professionals are confident in the recognition and management of the disorder. There is widely divergent practice among different specialities and healthcare settings, and limited information on outcomes. These guidelines aim to provide recommendations on the diagnosis and management of SJS/TEN, to inform clinical decision-making and, when justified by evidence, to standardize practice. The breadth of this document should be sufficient to assist clinicians of all relevant specialities in the management of patients with SJS/TEN. The recommendations will also inform pathways of care to optimize healthcare delivery and highlight key areas of uncertainty for future research. In these guidelines, the term SJS/TEN encompasses the full spectrum of the disease, i.e. SJS, TEN and SJS–TEN overlap (see section 7.2 for clinical definition of the separate entities). The guideline is presented as a detailed review with highlighted recommendations for practical use (see section18.0), in addition to the development of a new patient information leaflet [available on the British Association of Dermatologists’ (BAD) website, www.bad.org.uk ]. Unless otherwise specified, recommendations apply to all forms of the disease.

- Goal-directed fluid therapy in urgent GAstrointestinal Surgery—study protocol for A Randomised multicentre Trial: The GAS-ARTtrial
Click to Return to Search Page VIEW SELECTED LIBRARY MEDIA Name of Media: Goal-directed fluid therapy in urgent GAstrointestinal Surgery—study protocol for A Randomised multicentre Trial: The GAS-ARTtrial Author(s): Anders Winther Voldby, Anne Albers Aaen, Ann Merete Møller, Birgitte Brandstrup Publisher or Source: BMJ Open Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: Critical Care Physicians Country of Origin: Denmark Primary Focus of Media: Pre-Use of PICS Designation COVID-19 Related: No Description: Abstract Introduction Intravenous fluid therapy during gastrointestinal surgery is a life-saving part of the perioperative care. Too little fluid may lead to hypovolaemia, decreased organ perfusion and circulatory shock. Excessive fluid administration increases postoperative complications, worsens pulmonary and cardiac function as well as the healing of surgical wounds. Intraoperative individualised goal-directed fluid therapy (GDT) and zero-balance therapy (weight adjusted) has shown to reduce postoperative complications in elective surgery, but studies in urgent gastrointestinal surgery are sparse. The aim of the trial is to test whether zero-balance GDT reduces postoperative mortality and major complications following urgent surgery for obstructive bowel disease or perforation of the gastrointestinal tract compared with a protocolled standard of care. Methods/analysis This study is a multicentre, randomised controlled trial with planned inclusion of 310 patients. The randomisation procedure is stratified by hospital and by obstructive bowel disease and perforation of the gastrointestinal tract. Patients are allocated into either ‘the standard group’ or ‘the zero-balance GDT group’. The latter receive intraoperative GDT (guided by a stroke volume algorithm) and postoperative zero-balance fluid therapy based on body weight and fluid charts. The protocolled treatment continues until free oral intake or the seventh postoperative day. The primary composite outcome is death, unplanned reoperations, life-threatening thromboembolic and bleeding complications, a need for mechanical ventilation or dialysis. Secondary outcomes are additional complications, length of hospital stay, length of stay in the intensive care unit, length of mechanical ventilation, readmissions and time to death. Follow-up is 90 days. We plan intention-to-treat analysis of the primary outcome. Ethics and dissemination The Danish Scientific Ethics Committee approved the GAS-ART trial before patient enrolment (J: SJ-436). Enrolment of patients began in August 2015 and is proceeding. We expect to publish the GAS-ART results in Summer 2019. Trial registration number EudraCT 2015-000563-14.

- Patients suffering from psychological impairments following critical illness are in need of information
Click to Return to Search Page VIEW SELECTED LIBRARY MEDIA Name of Media: Patients suffering from psychological impairments following critical illness are in need of information Author(s): Johan H. Vlake, Michel E. van Genderen, Anna Schut, Martijn Verkade, Evert-Jan Wils, Diederik Gommers and Jasper van Bommel Publisher or Source: Journal of Intensive Care Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: Critical Care Physicians, General Medical Professionals, Nurses and/or Other Critical Care Medical Professionals Country of Origin: Netherlands Primary Focus of Media: Pre-Use of PICS Designation COVID-19 Related: No Description: Background: Because critical illness survivors frequently experience several long-term psychological impairments altering quality of life after ICU, there is a trend towards increasing follow-up care, mainly via ICU follow-up clinics. Despite these and other initiatives, understanding of patient’s post-ICU needs to help them cope with their problems and subsequently improve quality of life is largely lacking. Our aim was therefore to assess the needs, expectations and wishes in ICU survivors to receive information with the purpose to help them better grasp ICU treatment. In addition, we assessed the perceived burden of psychological trauma after ICU treatment and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) up to 2.5 years after ICU discharge. Methods: In a multicentre, retrospective cross-sectional cohort study, the needs and preferred intervention methods were assessed using a self-composed inventory in adult mechanically ventilated ICU survivors (n = 43). Additionally, the Impact of Event Scale Revised, the Beck Depression Inventory, the EuroQol-5D-5L, and the Short-Form 12 were used to assess psychological burden and HRQoL. Results: A substantial proportion of all ICU survivors (59%, 95% CI 44% to 74%) suffered from psychological impairments after ICU treatment. Seventy-five percent of these patients expressed a wish to receive information, but only 36% desired to receive this information using a commonly used information brochure. In contrast, 71% of these patients had a wish to receive information using a video film/VR. Furthermore, only 33% of these patients was satisfied with the information provided by their treating hospital. Patients with psychological PICS reported a worse HRQoL as compared to a normative Dutch sample (P < 0.001) and as compared to patients without psychological PICS (P < 0.01). Conclusions: In a Dutch cohort of critical illness survivors, a substantial part of ICU survivors suffer from psychological impairments, such as PTSD and depression, which was associated with a worse HRQoL. These patients are in need of information, have no desire using an information brochure, but are willing to receive information using a video film/virtual reality module. These results support the exploration of such an intervention.

Publisher or Source: Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: Former ICU Patients or Their Caregivers Country of Origin: United States Primary Focus of Media: Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) COVID-19 Related: Yes Description: Although we are currently overwhelmed by the astonishing speed of infection of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the daily onslaught of new, and ever-worsening predictions, it is vital that we begin to prepare for the aftershocks of the pandemic. Prominent among this will be the cohort of post-intensive case survivors who have been mechanically ventilated and will like experience short- and medium-term consequences. The notion that patients surviving intensive care and mechanical ventilation for several weeks can be discharged home without further medical attention is a dangerous illusion. Post Intensive Care Syndrome and other severe conditions will require not only adequate screening but early rehabilitation and other interventions. Action must be taken now to prepare for this inevitable aftershock to the healthcare system.

- Laryngeal mask airway versus endotracheal tube for percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy in critically ill adults
Click to Return to Search Page VIEW SELECTED LIBRARY MEDIA Name of Media: Laryngeal mask airway versus endotracheal tube for percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy in critically ill adults Author(s): Reinhard Strametz, Martin N Bergold, Tobias Weberschock Publisher or Source: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: Critical Care Physicians Country of Origin: Germany Primary Focus of Media: Pre-Use of PICS Designation COVID-19 Related: No Description: Background Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is one of the most common bedside surgical procedures performed in critically ill adults, on intensive care units (ICUs), who require long‐term ventilation. PDT is associated with relevant life‐threatening complications: Cuff rupture or accidental extubation may lead to hypoxia, aspiration or loss of airway. Puncture of the oesophagus, or creating a false passage during dilatation or replacement of the tracheostomy tube, can lead to pneumothorax or emphysema. Wound infections may occur which can cause mediastinits, especially after creation of false passage or in early tracheotomized post‐sternotomy patients after cardiac surgery. During the procedure, the patient's airway can be secured with an endotracheal tube (ETT) or a laryngeal mask airway (LMA). This is an updated version of the review first published in 2014. Objectives To assess the safety and effectiveness of LMA versus ETT in critically ill adults undergoing PDT on the ICU. Search methods We searched the following databases to 9 January 2018: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE and Embase. We searched for reports of ongoing trials in the metaRegister of Controlled Trials (mRCT). We handsearched for relevant studies in conference proceedings of five relevant annual congresses. We contacted study authors and experts concerning unpublished data and ongoing trials. We searched for further relevant studies in the reference lists of all included trials and of relevant systematic reviews. Selection criteria We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared use of laryngeal mask airways versus endotracheal tubes in critically ill adults undergoing elective PDT in the ICU, without injuries to or diseases of the face or neck. We imposed no restrictions with regard to language, timing or technique of PDT performed. Data collection and analysis Two review authors independently assessed the eligibility and methodological quality of each study and carried out data extraction. Our primary outcomes were all‐cause mortality, procedure‐related mortality and tally of participants with one or more serious adverse events. Where possible, we combined homogeneous studies for meta‐analysis. We used Cochrane's 'Risk of bias' tool and used GRADE to assess the quality of evidence for key outcomes. Main results We included nine RCTs in this review involving 517 participants. Studies had a high or unclear risk of bias. The main reason for this was low methodological quality or missing data, even after study authors were contacted. Study size was generally small, with a minimum of 40, and a maximum of 73 participants. In one study (40 participants), three deaths in the LMA group and two deaths in the ETT group were reported, although none of the deaths were related to the procedure (very low‐quality evidence). Five studies (281 participants) reported on procedure‐related deaths, stating that no procedure‐related death occurred at all (very low‐quality evidence). It is uncertain whether there is a difference in the number of people experiencing one or more serious adverse event(s) between LMA and ETT (risk ratio (RR) 0.86, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.41 to 1.80; 467 participants, 8 studies, very low‐quality evidence). The duration of the procedure may be shorter in the LMA group (mean difference (MD) ‐1.46 minutes, 95% CI ‐1.92 to ‐1.01 minutes; 6 studies, 324 participants, low‐quality evidence). However failure of procedure, as allocated by randomization, requiring conversion to any other procedure, may be higher in the LMA group (RR 2.82, 95% CI 1.22 to 6.52; 8 studies, 439 participants, low‐quality evidence). We did not find any clear evidence of a difference between ETT and LMA groups for all other outcomes. Only one study provided follow‐up data for late complications related to the intervention, showing no clear evidence of benefit for any treatment group. Authors' conclusions Evidence on the safety of LMA for PDT is too limited to allow conclusions to be drawn on either its efficacy or safety compared with ETT. Although the LMA procedure may shorten the period during which the airway is insecure, it may also lead to higher conversion rates. Also, late complications have not been investigated sufficiently. These results are primarily based on single‐centre trials with small sample sizes, and therefore the level of evidence remains low. Studies with low risk of bias focusing on late complications and relevant patient‐related outcomes are necessary for definitive conclusions on safety issues related to this procedure. The dependency of the successful placement of a LMA on the type of LMA used should also be further assessed. There are two studies awaiting classification that may alter the conclusions once assessed.

It is therefore essential that standards and recommendations are subject to regular review and revision, as new evidence becomes available and practice changes. In undertaking this significant review and revision to GPICS, the FICM and ICS consulted widely, both with the key stakeholder organisations and through an open public survey. One of the criticisms of the first edition was the underrepresentation of authors from smaller units and the devolved nations; we have addressed this in the second edition, recognising that the majority of critical care is not delivered in large tertiary centres.
