Background The predictive power of extubation failure diagnosed by cough strength varies
by study. Here we summarise the diagnostic power of extubation failure tested by cough …

Introduction Determining the optimal timing for extubation can be challenging in the
intensive care. In this study, we aim to identify predictors for extubation failure in critically ill …

Objective In the COVID-19 pandemic, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has infected millions of people
worldwide. Mortality primarily results from the inflammation state and its complications. High …

Exogenous catecholamines may have pronounced side effects and affect physiological
cascades. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vasopressors on mortality of …

Background Invasive mechanical ventilation plays an important role in the prognosis of
patients with sepsis. However, there are, currently, no tools specifically designed to assess …

Background Critically ill COVID-19 pneumonia is one of the main causes of extubation
failure and mortality. Understanding clinical characteristics, laboratory profiles and …

This topic discusses the management and prognosis of the intubated patient with COVID-19.
