TL;DR: It is shown that the use of neuromuscular blocking drugs in general anaesthesia is associated with an increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications, and Anaesthetists must balance the potential benefits of neurmuscular blockade against the increasedrisk of postoperatively pulmonary complications.

TL;DR: Age, SOFA score at ICU admission, C RS, PaO 2 /FiO 2 , renal and cardiovascular complications, and late-onset VAP were all independent risk factors for prolonged mechanical ventilation in patients with COVID-19.

TL;DR: In this article , two acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) subphenotypes (hyperinflammatory and hypoinflammatory) with distinct clinical and biological features and differential treatment responses have been identified using latent class analysis (LCA) in seven individual cohorts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that a sustained oxygenation response after the first prone positioning session is associated with improved survival and reduced duration of mechanical ventilation in critically ill COVID-19 patients.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) at 90 days after ICU discharge in a cohort of COVID-19 patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation and compare it with an age and sex-matched sample from the general Italian and Finnish populations.
