Introduction: The high incidence of morbidity and mortality associated with the post-cardiac arrest (CA) period highlights the need for novel therapeutic interventions to improve the outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The aim of this study is to assess the ability of high-dose intravenous vitamin C (Vit-C) to improve post-CA shock.
Methods And Analysis: This is a single-blind, open-label, multicentre, randomised controlled trial, involving 234 OHCA patients with post-CA shock planned to be enrolled in 10 French ICUs.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate whether placing COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure in an awake prone position (aPP) could improve lung ventilation uniformity as measured by electrical impedance tomography (EIT).
- The study involved 20 patients who were tested in both the supine position and aPP, measuring their oxygenation levels and EIT readings after each interval.
- Results showed that while oxygenation improved in aPP, the global inhomogeneity index of ventilation did not significantly change in either position, indicating that aPP does not reduce lung ventilation inhomogeneity in these patients.
Background: High incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) has been reported in critically ill patients with COVID-19. Among these patients, we aimed to assess the incidence, outcomes and risk factors of VAP recurrences. Methods: We conducted an observational retrospective study in three French intensive care units (ICUs).

The aim of this multicentric study was to assess the impact of the specific treatments of COVID-19 and ARDS on the risk of severe AKI in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Methods: In this cohort study, data from consecutive patients older than 18 years admitted to 6 ICUs for COVID-19-related ARDS requiring invasive mechanical ventilation were included.

Methods: This observational retrospective study was conducted in six intensive care units (ICUs) in three university hospitals in Marseille, France. Between 10 March and 10 May 2020, all adult patients admitted in ICU with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 and respiratory failure were eligible for inclusion.
