Effects of Sevoflurane Inhalation on Pulmonary Hemodynamics in Moderate to Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients With Septic Shock: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Objectives: Our study aimed to investigate the effects of sevoflurane inhalation on mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) and pulmonary vascular resistances (PVRs) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients during lung protective ventilation.

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Setting: Medical ICU of a university teaching hospital.

An Innovative Deep Learning Approach for Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) Prediction in Intensive Care Units-Pneumonia Risk Evaluation and Diagnostic Intelligence via Computational Technology (PREDICT).

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common and serious ICU complication, affecting up to 40% of mechanically ventilated patients. The diagnosis of VAP currently relies on retrospective clinical, radiological, and microbiological criteria, which often delays targeted treatment and promotes the overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics. The early prediction of VAP is crucial to improve outcomes and guide antimicrobial use related to this disease.
