Clinicians tend to manage patients according to evidence-based guidelines that are derived from large randomized trials in which single patient characteristics and types of infection are rarely considered. But, as is well known, different ty

Tachycardia in Septic Shock: Pathophysiological Implications and Pharmacological Treatmentctice the pathophysiological implications of an increase in heart rate are often undervalued. The importance of elevated heart rate and its role in determining or contributing to cardiovascular diseases began to be recognized at the end of the 1970s. Nowadays, it is clear that tachycardia represents

Update on the Role of Extracorporeal CO2 Removal as an Adjunct to Mechanical Ventilation in ARDSuid balance, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remains a devastating disease [1, 2]. Mortality rates for ARDS have decreased over time but still remain around 40%, in large part a result of the hemodynamic complications of this syndrome [3]. ARDS has various etiologies and early diagnosis a

In particular, in patients with clinical suspicion of VAP, respiratory samples should be obtained promptly to corroborate the provision of effective
