COVID-19 ICU mortality prediction: a machine learning approach using SuperLearner algorithm
- 2021
Abstract Background Since the beginning of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19),
the development of predictive models has sparked relevant interest due to the
initial lack of knowledge about diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. The present
study aimed at developing a model, through a machine learning approach, to
predict intensive care unit (ICU) mortality in COVID-19 patients based on
predefined c...
Envisioning gamification in anesthesia, pain management, and critical care: basic principles, integration of artificial intelligence, and simulation strategies
AbstractUnlike traditional video games developed solely for entertainment
purposes, game-based learning employs intentionally crafted approaches that
seamlessly merge entertainment and educational content, resulting in captivating
and effective learning encounters. These pedagogical methods include serious
video games and gamification. Serious games are video games utilized as tools
for acquiring ...
The unseen pandemic: treatment delays and loss to follow-up due to fear of COVID
- 2022
Abstract Background Fear of contracting SARS-CoV-2 has transformed public
interaction with healthcare professionals and hospitals alike. In turn, this has
resulted in a collateral impact on patients’ health across medical and surgical
paradigms. Understanding the causative factors of this fear, and tackling it
head on, is vital to return to pre-pandemic levels of healthcare. Main body In
this edit...
The prevention of pressure injuries in the positioning and mobilization of patients in the ICU: a good clinical practice document by the Italian Society of Anesthesia, Analgesia, Resuscitation and Intensive Care (SIAARTI)
- 2022
Abstract Background The aim of this document is to support clinical
decision-making concerning positioning and mobilization of the critically ill
patient in the early identification and resolution of risk factors (primary
prevention) and in the early recognition of those most at risk (secondary
prevention). The addresses of this document are physicians, nurses,
physiotherapists, and other professi...
Analgesic efficacy of the bilateral erector spinae plane block for colorectal surgery: a randomized controlled trial
Abstract Background Colorectal cancer is quite common, and surgery is the most
effective treatment for most patients. However, postoperative pain management is
generally inadequate in most patients. This study aimed to determine the effect
of ultrasonography (USG)-guided preemptive erector spina plan block (ESPB), as
part of multimodal analgesia, on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing
c...
Dexamethasone and postoperative analgesia in minimally invasive thoracic surgery: a retrospective cohort study
Tập 1 Số 1 - 2021
Abstract Background Dexamethasone is commonly used for the prevention of
postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and recent reviews suggest a role for
dexamethasone in postoperative analgesia. The aim of this study is to evaluate
the efficacy of dexamethasone as an analgesic adjuvant in minimally invasive
thoracic surgery. Primary outcome was morphine consumption 24 h after surgery;
secondary ou...
Effects of depth of neuromuscular block on surgical operating conditions in women undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery: a randomized clinical trial
Abstract Background In recent years, the relationship between the advantages and
disadvantages of a deep neuromuscular block (DNMB), compared to a moderate block
(MNMB) in laparoscopic surgery, has been increasingly studied. Objective
Evaluate the effect of D-NMB compared to M-NMB in gynecological laparoscopic
surgery. Methods This was a parallel-group, double-blind, randomized clinical
trial, con...
Implementation of video-calls between patients admitted to intensive care unit during the COVID-19 pandemic and their families: a pilot study of psychological effects
Tập 2 Số 1
Abstract Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused
over 530 million infections to date (June 2022), with a high percentage of
intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. In this context, relatives have been
restricted from visiting their loved ones admitted to hospital. This situation
has led to an inevitable separation between patients and their families. Video

How to recognize a trustworthy clinical practice guideline
Abstract Trustworthy clinical practice guidelines represent a fundamental tool
to summarize relevant evidence regarding a set of clinical choices and provide
guidance for making optimal clinical decisions. Clinicians must differentiate
between guidelines that provide trustworthy evidence guidance and those that do
not. We present six questions clinicians should ask when evaluating a
guideline’s tr...
Association between hypomagnesemia and serum lactate levels in patients with sepsis: a retrospective observational study
Abstract Background Sepsis-3 emphasizes the recognition of sepsis-induced
cellular metabolic abnormalities, and utilizes serum lactate level as a
biomarker of cellular metabolic abnormalities. Magnesium plays an important role
as a cofactor in glucose metabolism, although it is not well known that
magnesium deficiency causes elevated serum lactate levels. Additionally, it
remains unclear how magne...
