Article Abstract
Background And Objectives: The aim of this study was to externally validate the prognostic score for mechanically ventilated patients with novel coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), the simplified intubated COVID-19 predictive (sICOP) score.
Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter, observational study conducted using the database registry of patients with moderate-to-severe COVID-19 at 66 hospitals in Japan. The data of 146 mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients were analyzed.
Results: The areas under the curve (AUC) of the sICOP score for predicting the 28-day mortality and in-hospital mortality were 0.81 (0.73-0.89) and 0.74 (0.65-0.83), respectively. The AUC of the score was statistically significantly higher than that of the SOFA score for 28-day mortality and in-hospital mortality (28-day mortality; 0.82 [0.73-0.90] vs. 0.58 [0.46-0.70], < 0.001, in-hospital mortality; 0.75 [0.66-0.84] vs 0.55 [0.44-0.66], < 0.001).
Conclusion: We found that the sICOP score was useful for predicting the 28-day mortality with excellent accuracy in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients in the era prior to the widespread availability of vaccines and effective antivirals. Validation of the score would be needed by using data from recent waves.

Background: Survivors of critical illness frequently face physical, cognitive and psychological impairments after intensive care. Sensorimotor impairments potentially have a negative impact on participation. However, comprehensive understanding of sensorimotor recovery and participation in survivors of critical illness is limited.

Background: Volatile anesthetics are gaining recognition for their benefits in long-term sedation of mechanically ventilated patients with bacterial pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. In addition to their sedative role, they also exhibit anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, though the mechanisms behind these effects remain only partially understood. In vitro studies examining the prolonged impact of volatile anesthetics on bacterial growth, inflammatory cytokine response, and surfactant proteins - key to maintaining lung homeostasis - are still lacking.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of 5 cmHO positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and end-inspiratory pause (EIP) on airway dead space (V) and its resultant effects on alveolar tidal volume (V) and physiological dead space-to-tidal volume ratio (V/V) in dorsally recumbent anesthetized dogs.
Study Design: Prospective, controlled clinical study.
Animals: Healthy adult dogs (n = 20, > 20 kg) undergoing elective surgery.
