Article Abstract

Objectives: To determine the association of whole blood and other blood products (components, prothrombin complex concentrate, and fibrinogen concentrate) with the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) among blood recipients.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) database between 2020 and 2021.

Patients: Patients 15 years old or older in the TQIP database between 2020 and 2022 who received at least one blood product.

Interventions: We compared characteristics and blood product administration between patients who developed ARDS versus those who did not.

Measurements And Main Results: There were 134,863 that met inclusion for this analysis. Within the included population, 1% (1927) was diagnosed with ARDS. The no ARDS group had a lower portion of serious injuries to the head/neck (31% vs. 46%), thorax (51% vs. 78%), abdomen (34% vs. 48%), and extremities (37% vs. 47%). The median composite Injury Severity Score was 21 (11-30) in the no ARDS group vs. 30 (22-41) in the ARDS group. Unadjusted survival of discharge was 74% in the no ARDS group vs. 61% in the ARDS group. In our multivariable model, we found that whole blood (unit odds ratio [uOR], 1.05; 95% CI, 1.02-1.07), male sex (odds ratio, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.28-1.63), arrival shock index (uOR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.06), and composite Injury Severity Score (uOR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.03-1.04) were associated with the development of ARDS. These persisted on sensitivity testing.

Conclusions: We found an association between whole blood and the development of ARDS among trauma patients who received blood transfusions. Contrary to previous studies, we found no association between ARDS and fresh frozen plasma administration. The literature would benefit from further investigation via prospective study designs.

Background: Coagulation disorders are potentially one of the most important pathogeneses of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). This study aimed to determine whether aortic dissection singularly and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery can activate coagulation pathways, promoting ARDS development in patients with ATAAD.

Methods: A total of 450 patients who received treatment at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, between March 2023 and February 2024 were consecutively enrolled in this prospective cohort study.

Background: Meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), a common cause of respiratory failure in late preterm and term neonates, is associated with a high risk of mortality and morbidity. Amongst all the treatment modalities for severe MAS, surfactant administration has a proven role in decreasing progressive respiratory failure.

Methods: The present open-label randomised controlled trial aimed to determine the effect of early (≤ 2 h) bolus surfactant therapy as compared to standard care on the total duration of respiratory support.

Background: Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The feasibility and effectiveness of bovine versus porcine surfactants via less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) remain unstudied in LMICs. We compared clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of BLES versus poractant alfa in preterm infants with RDS managed with LISA.

ObjectivesTo assess the association of obesity with outcomes among patients with severe acute respiratory infection.MethodsThis is a retrospective cohort study of patients with severe acute respiratory infection admitted to the intensive care units in four referral hospitals in Saudi Arabia between September 2012 and June 2018. Patients were classified into two groups: overweight-obese patients (body mass index  ≥25 kg/m) and normal-weight patients (body mass index between 18.

Objective: Although existing evidence suggests a potential link between dementia and adverse outcomes in patients with COVID-19, a definitive relationship is uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of dementia on in-hospital outcomes of patients in the presence of COVID-19.

Methods: The US Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) was searched for patients 65 years or older hospitalised for COVID-19 in 2020.
