With the large volume of data coming from implemented technologies and monitoring systems, intensive care units (ICUs) represent a key area for artificial intelligence (AI) application. Despite the last decade has been marked by studies focused on the use of AI in medicine, its application in mechanical ventilation management is still limited. Optimizing mechanical ventilation is a complex and high-stake intervention, which requires a deep understanding of respiratory pathophysiology. Therefore, this complex task might be supported by AI and machine learning. Most of the studies already published involve the use of AI to predict outcomes for mechanically ventilated patients, including the need for intubation, the respiratory complications, and the weaning readiness and success. In conclusion, the application of AI for the management of mechanical ventilation is still at an early stage and requires a cautious and much less enthusiastic approach. Future research should be focused on AI progressive introduction in the everyday management of mechanically ventilated patients, with the aim to explore the great potentiality of this tool.

Background: Immunosuppression after cervical epidural steroid injection (CESI) is a potential complication. This report discusses the development of an aortoesophageal fistula following a CESI.
Case Report: Patient is a man in his early 60s with a history of central spinal cord syndrome status post (s/p) anterior cervical discectomy and fusion of C3-C6 and thoracic aortic aneurysm s/p thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) who presented with cervical radiculopathy.

The PROtective VEntilation (PROVE) Network is a globally-recognized collaborative research group dedicated to advancing research, education, and collaboration in the field of mechanical ventilation. Established to address critical questions in intraoperative and intensive care ventilation, the network focuses on improving outcomes for patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in diverse settings, including operating rooms, intensive care units, burn units, and resource-limited environments in low- and middle-income countries. The PROVE Network is committed to generating high-quality evidence through a comprehensive portfolio of investigations, including randomized clinical trials, observational research, and meta-analyses.

Purpose: Decreased access to care and social drivers of health have been implicated in COVID-19 disparities. The objective of this study was to test the association between county-funded charity coverage (CFCC) and mortality among uninsured patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in a highly uninsured county.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study compared electronic health record (EHR) data among uninsured patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in a high-volume safety-net health system in Dallas County, Texas between June 2020 and December 2021.

To analyze in-hospital mortality in children undergoing congenital heart interventions in the only public referral center in Amazonas, North Brazil, between 2014 and 2022. This retrospective cohort study included 1041 patients undergoing cardiac interventions for congenital heart disease, of whom 135 died during hospitalization. Records were reviewed to obtain demographic, clinical, and surgical data.

Introduction: It is well known that Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a complex disease characterized by an Upper Airway (UA) collapse during sleep, with potential consequences on ENT districts. Recent evidence suggests a possible association with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD). However, the potential effects of both surgical and non-surgical therapeutic strategies on ET function remain poorly explored in the current literature.
