Each estimated value and details of assessments of certainty of estimates from NMA of the timing of tracheostomy of adverse events
Source publication
Background
An appropriately timed tracheostomy for adults receiving prolonged mechanical ventilation may have several benefits of tracheostomy, including decreased use of analgesics and sedatives and expedited rehabilitation. These clinical benefits may contribute to improve patient prognosis. Although randomized control trials (RCTs) and meta-anal...

Context 1
... of the studies were a three-group study. Four studies compared tracheostomy within 4 days after intubation vs. 13 days or later [8,9,12,13], two studies compared tracheostomy within 4 days vs. 5-12 days [11,13], and one study compared tracheostomy 5-12 days vs. 13 days or later after intubation [10] (Fig. 1a, 1b, and e- Table 3). The characteristics of each study included in this meta-analysis are summarised in e- Table 4 in Additional le 3. The main reason for ICU admission was critical illness with mixed trauma and nontrauma, followed by surgery. ...Context 2
... hierarchy for ecacy in reducing short-term mortality was within 4 days (P-score 0.96) > 5-12 days (P-score 0.32) > 13 days or later (P-score 0.22). (Table 3, Fig. 2b, and e- Table 12b, 13b, and 14b in Additional le 3). There was no signicant difference within each comparison. ...Similar publications
Background:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible presence of diastolic dysfunction and its possible effects in terms of respiratory mechanics, gas exchange and lung recruitability in mechanically ventilated ARDS.
Methods:
Consecutive patients admitted in intensive care unit (ICU) with ARDS were enrolled. Echocardiographic evaluatio...
Background: Mechanical Hyperinflation Maneuver (MHM) is a technique known for optimizing bronchial hygiene and respiratory mechanics, however its effects on intracranial pressure are not known.
Methods: 48 patients aged ≥ 18 years, with clinical diagnosis of acute stroke, confirmed by neuroimaging examination, with onset of symptoms within 72 hours...
Background: COPD exacerbations necessitating mechanical ventilation representing important aspect of disease management. Attempts to search for better weaning index is a continuous process. Aim of the work: was to study the accuracy of the integrated weaning indices including, CROP index and CORE index as predictors of weaning success in COPD exace...
Objectives: This study aimed at determining the rate of transmission of nosocomial pathogens between mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU from the previous patient who was admitted in the same bed and mortality during stay in the ICU related to qSOFA score at admission. Methods: Patients were prospectively enrolled from the 1st August to the...
We created an online calculator using machine learning (ML) algorithms to impute the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2)/fraction of delivered oxygen (FiO2) ratio using the non-invasive peripheral saturation of oxygen (SpO2) and compared the accuracy of the ML models we developed to published equations. We generated three ML algorithms (neural networ...
