🔍 CRRT without protein supplementation may aggravate AA depletion in decompensated organic acidemias. AA infusion during CRRT warrants prospective evaluation. ✅ Read the complete #openaccess research in CCE: ow.ly/w3ka50ZIrw0 #CritCareExplore #SCCM @SCCM

👟 Despite advanced patient age, out-of-bed mobilization was feasible in Japanese ICUs. However, patients most at risk for PICS were the least likely to mobilize, highlighting a challenge in ICU rehabilitation. 📖 Read more in CCE: ow.ly/Iom050ZIqGb #CritCareExplore

🔍 Current randomized adult evidence does not justify routine use of IgM-enriched immunoglobulin in unselected sepsis or septic shock. ✅ Read the complete #openaccess research in Critical Care Explorations: ow.ly/qIRE50ZG6c7 #CritCareExplore #SCCM @SCCM

💼 Non-permanent employment was associated with joblessness during the pandemic after hospitalization for severe COVID-19. Patients with more vulnerable employment status may warrant follow-up in recovery. ✅ Read more in CCE: ow.ly/94o450ZAGEF #CritCareExplore #SCCM

🔍 New research suggests that continuous positive airway pressure-based methods are safe for apnea testing during BD/DNC assessments and warrant further investigation. 📖 Read the #openaccess article in CCE: ow.ly/eHgw50ZwNCI #CritCareExplore #SCCM @SCCM

💡 New research in CCE 🔍 Spleen tyrosine kinase inhibition led to a reduction in absolute neutrophil count but had a modest impact on biomarkers of inflammation in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. 📖 Read the #openaccess article: ow.ly/n71R50ZwMhP #CritCareExplore

🔍 The role of cerebral oximetry in management of post-cardiac arrest patients remains unclear. Further research is needed to determine whether correction of low regional oxygen saturation can improve outcomes. 📖 Read more in CCE: ow.ly/b76f50ZuPmK #CritCareExplore
