Article Abstract
Continuous RRT (CRRT) is the preferred dialysis modality for solute management, acid-base stability, and volume control in patients who are critically ill with AKI in the intensive care unit (ICU). CRRT offers multiple advantages over conventional hemodialysis in the critically ill population, such as greater hemodynamic stability, better fluid management, greater solute control, lower bleeding risk, and a more continuous (physiologic) approach of kidney support. Despite its frequent use, several aspects of CRRT delivery are still not fully standardized, or do not have solid evidence-based foundations. In this study, we provide a case-based review and recommendations of common scenarios and interventions encountered during the provision of CRRT to patients who are critically ill. Specific focus is on initial prescription, CRRT dosing, and adjustments related to severe hyponatremia management, concomitant extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support, dialysis catheter placement, use of regional citrate anticoagulation, and antibiotic dosing. This case-driven simulation is made as the clinical status of the patient evolves, and is on the basis of step-wise decisions made during the care of this patient, according to the specific patient's needs and the logistics available at the corresponding institution.

From clinical trials to daily practice: how to adequately administer sulbactam-durlobactam? alone or combined with imipenem?
Curr Opin Infect Dis
September 2025
Infectious Diseases Unit, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna.
Purpose Of Review: Sulbactam-durlobactam (SUL-DUR) is a novel β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination recently approved for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) infections. This review summarizes current knowledge on the optimal use of SUL-DUR, whether administered alone or in combination with carbapenems, particularly imipenem.
Recent Findings: Data from registrational trial demonstrate that SUL-DUR is an effective and well tolerated treatment option for CRAB severe infections.
Pain, Agitation, Delirium, and Iatrogenic Withdrawal Syndrome Management in Children Who Are Critically Ill: Protocol for a European Clinical Practice Guideline Using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation Approach.
JMIR Res Protoc
September 2025
Institute of Higher Education and Research in Healthcare, Faculty of Biology and Medicine, University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Background: In pediatric intensive care units, pain, sedation, delirium, and iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome (IWS) must be managed as interrelated conditions. Although clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) exist, new evidence needs to be incorporated, gaps in recommendations addressed, and recommendations adapted to the European context.
Objective: This protocol describes the development of the first patient- and family-informed European guideline for managing pain, sedation, delirium, and IWS by the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care.
Gonorrhea and Chlamydia Screening for Adolescents and Young Adults in Emergency Departments.
JAMA Pediatr
September 2025
Department of Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine, Children's National Hospital, George Washington University, Washington, DC.
Importance: Adolescents account for almost half of the 2.5 million diagnosed sexually transmitted infections in the US annually, and the emergency department functions as the primary source of health care for many adolescents. No recommendations exist for emergency department gonorrhea and chlamydia screening.

School of Rehabilitation Science, Faculty of Health Sciences, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Importance: The cost-effectiveness of adding early in-bed cycling to usual physiotherapy among adults receiving mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) compared with usual physiotherapy alone is unknown.
Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of in-bed cycling plus usual physiotherapy compared with usual therapy alone in the Critical Care Cycling to Improve Lower Extremity Strength (CYCLE) randomized clinical trial.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This trial-based economic evaluation with a 90-day time horizon compared early cycling plus usual physiotherapy vs usual physiotherapy alone from a societal perspective.
Ultrasound-Based Assessment of Rectus Femoris Muscle Wasting as a Predictor of 28-Day Mortality in Septic Shock: A Prospective Study.
J Intensive Care Med
September 2025
Medical Intensive Care Unit, 108 Military Central Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam.
Background: Bedside ultrasound is increasingly utilized to assess muscle mass in critically ill patients, providing a noninvasive and real-time tool for early risk stratification. Muscle wasting is known to be associated with adverse outcomes in septic shock, but its prognostic value using ultrasound in this population remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the association between changes in rectus femoris cross-sectional area (CSA), assessed by bedside ultrasound, and 28-day mortality in patients with septic shock.
