Welcome to the 499th Critical Care Reviews Newsletter, bringing you the best critical care research and open access articles from across the medical literature over the past seven days.
The highlights of this week's edition are a randomised controlled trial on individualized PEEP guided by electrical impedance tomography in ARDS; a systematic review and meta analysis on invasive mould disease in fatal COVID-19; and an observational study on prone positioning and survival in mechanically ventilated patients with Coronavirus disease 2019-related respiratory failure. There are also guidelines on the management of pediatric patients with oxygen in the acute care setting & the diagnosis and clinical management of COVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis; narrative reviews on acute kidney injury in the critically ill & the evolution of the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in respiratory failure; an editorial on preoperative assessment and optimisation; a commentary on delirium in COVID-19; as well as correspondence on the ARREST trial.
If you only have time to read one review article this week, try this one on prehospital resuscitation.
