RESUMO

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious lung condition that often leads to hospitalization in intensive care units and a high mortality rate. Sevoflurane is a volatile anesthetic with growing interest for sedation in ventilated patients with ARDS. It has been shown to have potential lung-protective effects, such as reduced inflammation and lung edema, or improved arterial oxygenation. In this study, we investigated the effects of sevoflurane on lung injury in cultured human carcinoma-derived lung alveolar epithelial (A549) cells. We found that sevoflurane was associated with improved wound healing after exposure to inflammatory cytokines, with preserved cell proliferation but no effect on cell migration properties. Sevoflurane exposure was also associated with enhanced cell viability and active autophagy in A549 cells exposed to cytokines. These findings suggest that sevoflurane may have beneficial effects on lung epithelial injury by promoting alveolar epithelial wound healing and by influencing the survival and proliferation of A549 epithelial cells in vitro. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and to investigate the key cellular mechanisms explaining sevoflurane's potential effects on lung epithelial injury.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV 2) and requiring mechanical ventilation suffer from a high incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP), mainly related to Enterobacterales. Data regarding extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) VAP are scarce. We aimed to investigate risk factors and outcomes of ESBL-E related VAP among critically ill coronavirus infectious disease-19 (COVID-19) patients who developed Enterobacterales related VAP. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed an ancillary analysis of a multicenter prospective international cohort study (COVID-ICU) that included 4929 COVID-19 critically ill patients. For the present analysis, only patients with complete data regarding resistance status of the first episode of Enterobacterales related VAP (ESBL-E and/or carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, CRE) and outcome were included. RESULTS: We included 591 patients with Enterobacterales related VAP. The main causative species were Enterobacter sp (n = 224), E. coli (n = 111) and K. pneumoniae (n = 104). One hundred and fifteen patients (19%), developed a first ESBL-E related VAP, mostly related to Enterobacter sp (n = 40), K. pneumoniae (n = 36), and E. coli (n = 31). Eight patients (1%) developed CRE related VAP. In a multivariable analysis, African origin (North Africa or Sub-Saharan Africa) (OR 1.7 [1.07-2.71], p = 0.02), time between intubation and VAP (OR 1.06 [1.02-1.09], p = 0.002), PaO2/FiO2 ratio on the day of VAP (OR 0.997 [0.994-0.999], p = 0.04) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole exposure (OR 3.77 [1.15-12.4], p = 0.03) were associated with ESBL-E related VAP. Weaning from mechanical ventilation and mortality did not significantly differ between ESBL-E and non ESBL-E VAP. CONCLUSION: ESBL-related VAP in COVID-19 critically-ill patients was not infrequent. Several risk factors were identified, among which some are modifiable and deserve further investigation. There was no impact of resistance of the first Enterobacterales related episode of VAP on outcome.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Corticosteroids have become standard of care for COVID-19 but their effect on the systemic immune-inflammatory response has been little investigated. METHODS: Multicenter prospective cohort, including critically ill COVID-19 patients between March and November 2020. C-reactive protein (CRP), lymphocyte count and fibrinogen levels were collected upon hospital admission before initiation of steroid treatment and at ICU admission, three days and seven days later, along with interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) plasma levels. RESULTS: A hundred and fifty patients were included, 47 received corticosteroids, 103 did not. Median age was 62 [53-70], and 96 (65%) patients were mechanically ventilated. Propensity score matching rendered 45 well-balanced pairs of treated and non-treated patients, particularly on pre-treatment CRP levels. Using a mixed model, CRP (P=0.019), fibrinogen (P=0.003) and lymphocyte counts (P=0.006) remained lower in treated patients over ICU stay. Conversely, there was no significant difference over the ICU stay for Il-6 (P=0.146) and IL-10 (0.301), while TNF- α levels were higher in the treated group (P=0.013). Among corticosteroid-treated patients, CRP (P=0.012), fibrinogen (P=0.041) and lymphocyte count (P=0.004) over time were associated with outcome, whereas plasma cytokine levels were not. CONCLUSIONS: Steroid treatment was associated with an early and sustained decrease in the downstream IL-6-dependent inflammatory signature but an increase in TNF-α levels. In corticosteroid-treated patients, CRP and lymphocyte count were associated with outcome, conversely to plasma cytokine levels. Further research on using these biomarker's kinetics to individualize immunomodulatory treatments is warranted.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The present study aimed at assessing the prevalences of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (main objective), anxiety, depression, and burnout syndrome (BOS) and their associated factors in intensive care unit (ICU) staff workers in the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An international cross-sectional multicenter ICU-based online survey was carried out among the ICU staff workers in 20 ICUs across 3 continents. ICUs staff workers (both caregivers and non-caregivers) were invited to complete PCL-5, HADS, and MBI questionnaires for assessing PTSD, anxiety, depression, and the different components of BOS, respectively. A personal questionnaire was used to isolate independent associated factors with these disorders. RESULTS: PCL-5, HADS, and MBI questionnaires were completed by 585, 570, and 539 responders, respectively (525 completed all questionnaires). PTSD was diagnosed in 98/585 responders (16.8%). Changing familial environment, being a non-caregiver staff worker, having not being involved in a COVID-19 patient admission, having not been provided with COVID-19-related information were associated with PTSD. Anxiety was reported in 130/570 responders (22.8%). Working in a public hospital, being a woman, being financially impacted, being a non-clinical healthcare staff member, having no theoretical or practical training on individual preventive measures, and fear of managing COVID-19 patients were associated with anxiety. Depression was reported in 50/570 responders (8.8%). Comorbidity at risk of severe COVID-19, working in a public hospital, looking after a child, being a non-caregiver staff member, having no information, and a request for moving from the unit were associated with depression. Having received no information and no adequate training for COVID-19 patient management were associated with all 3 dimensions of BOS. CONCLUSION: The present study confirmed that ICU staff workers, whether they treated COVID-19 patients or not, have a substantial prevalence of psychological disorders.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is the presence of air in the pleural space, occurring in the absence of trauma and known lung disease. Standardized expert guidelines on PSP are needed due to the variety of diagnostic methods, therapeutic strategies and medical and surgical disciplines involved in its management. METHODS: Literature review, analysis of the literature according to the GRADE (Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation) methodology; proposals for guidelines rated by experts, patients and organizers to reach a consensus. Only expert opinions with strong agreement were selected. RESULTS: A large PSP is defined as presence of a visible rim along the entire axillary line between the lung margin and the chest wall and ≥ 2 cm at the hilum level on frontal chest X-ray. The therapeutic strategy depends on the clinical presentation: emergency needle aspiration for tension PSP; in the absence of signs of severity: conservative management (small PSP), needle aspiration or chest tube drainage (large PSP). Outpatient treatment is possible if a dedicated outpatient care system is previously organized. Indications, surgical procedures and perioperative analgesia are detailed. Associated measures, including smoking cessation, are described. CONCLUSION: These guidelines are a step towards PSP treatment and follow-up strategy optimization in France.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP) are devices mainly used to deliver antineoplastic chemotherapies, of which the insertion may be complicated by TIVAP-related infection (TIVAP-RI). This study aims to provide data on the risk factors for TIVAP-RI and its influence on patient prognosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Prospective observational study including adult patients with solid tumors, in whom a TIVAP was inserted to deliver antineoplastic chemotherapy between January 2018 and October 2019. Factors associated with TIVAP-RI and one-year mortality were determined using multiple logistic regressions. RESULTS: More than a thousand (1014) patients were included, among whom 48 (4.7%) presented with TIVAP-RI. Gram-positive cocci and Gram-negative bacilli represented 51% and 41% of the pathogens isolated, respectively. Young age (odds ratio [OR] 0.67; 95% Confidence Interval [0.53-0.83] per 10-year increase), WHO performance status ≥ 1 (OR 3.24 [1.52-7.79]), chemotherapy administration in the month before TIVAP placement (OR 2.26 [1.17-4.26]), and radiation therapy of the homolateral chest wall (OR 3.28 [1.51-6.67]) were independently associated with TIVAP-RI occurrence. During the year following TIVAP insertion, 287 (28%) patients died. TIVAP-RI was not associated with one-year mortality (OR 1.56 [0.75-3.19]). CONCLUSION: TIVAP insertion in adult patients with solid tumors is associated with a low infection rate, which did not influence one-year mortality. In addition to young age and impaired health status, TIVAP insertion in the month following initiation of the antineoplastic chemotherapy and TIVAP insertion in an irradiated area are two newly reported preventable TIVAP-RI risk factors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The aims of this study were to describe pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target attainment in intensive care unit (ICU) patients treated with continuously infused ß-lactam antibiotics, their associated covariates, and the impact of dosage adjustment. METHODS: This prospective, observational, cohort study was performed in three ICUs. Four ß-lactams were continuously infused, and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) was performed at days 1, 4, and 7. The primary pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target was an unbound ß-lactam plasma concentration four times above the bacteria's minimal inhibitory concentration during the whole dosing interval. The demographic and clinical covariates associated with target attainment were evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 170 patients were included (426 blood samples). The percentages of empirical ß-lactam underdosing at D1 were 66% for cefepime, 43% for cefotaxime, 47% for ceftazidime, and 14% for meropenem. Indexed creatinine clearance was independently associated with treatment underdose if increased (adjusted odds ratio per unit, 1.01; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.01; p = 0.014) or overdose if decreased (adjusted odds ratio per unit, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.94 to 0.97; p < 0.001). Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target attainment was significantly increased after ß-lactam dosage adjustment between day 1 and day 4 vs. no adjustment (53.1% vs. 26.2%; p = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS: This study increases our knowledge on the optimization of ß-lactam therapy in ICU patients. A large inter- and intra-patient variability in plasmatic concentrations was observed, leading to inadequate exposure. A combined indexed creatinine clearance and TDM approach enables adequate dosing for better pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target attainment.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The French Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine [Société Française d'Anesthésie et de Réanimation (SFAR)] aimed at providing guidelines for the implementation of perioperative optimization programs. DESIGN: A consensus committee of 29 experts from the SFAR was convened. A formal conflict-of-interest policy was developed at the outset of the process and enforced throughout. The entire guidelines process was conducted independently of any industry funding. The authors were advised to follow the principles of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system to guide assessment of quality of evidence. METHODS: Four fields were defined: 1) Generalities on perioperative optimization programs; 2) Preoperative measures; 3) Intraoperative measures and; 4) Postoperative measures. For each field, the objective of the recommendations was to answer a number of questions formulated according to the PICO model (population, intervention, comparison, and outcomes). Based on these questions, an extensive bibliographic search was carried out using predefined keywords according to PRISMA guidelines and analyzed using the GRADE® methodology. The recommendations were formulated according to the GRADE® methodology and then voted on by all the experts according to the GRADE grid method. As the GRADE® methodology could have been fully applied for the vast majority of questions, the recommendations were formulated using a "formalized expert recommendations" format. RESULTS: The experts' work on synthesis and application of the GRADE® method resulted in 30 recommendations. Among the formalized recommendations, 19 were found to have a high level of evidence (GRADE 1±) and ten a low level of evidence (GRADE 2±). For one recommendation, the GRADE methodology could not be fully applied, resulting in an expert opinion. Two questions did not find any response in the literature. After two rounds of rating and several amendments, strong agreement was reached for all the recommendations. CONCLUSIONS: Strong agreement among the experts was obtained to provide 30 recommendations for the elaboration and/or implementation of perioperative optimization programs in the highest number of surgical fields.

RESUMO

Background: Preoperative COVID-19 has been associated with excess postoperative morbi-mortality. Consequently, guidelines were developed that recommended the postponement of surgery for at least 7 weeks after the infection. We hypothesised that vaccination against the SARS-CoV-2 and the large predominance of the Omicron variant attenuated the effect of a preoperative COVID-19 on the occurrence of postoperative respiratory morbidity. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study in 41 French centres between 15 March and 30 May 2022 (ClinicalTrials NCT05336110), aimed at comparing the postoperative respiratory morbidity between patients with and without preoperative COVID-19 within 8 weeks prior to surgery. The primary outcome was a composite outcome combining the occurrence of pneumonia, acute respiratory failure, unexpected mechanical ventilation, and pulmonary embolism within the first 30 postoperative days. Secondary outcomes were 30-day mortality, hospital length-of-stay, readmissions, and non-respiratory infections. The sample size was determined to have 90% power to identify a doubling of the primary outcome rate. Adjusted analyses were performed using propensity score modelling and inverse probability weighting. Findings: Of the 4928 patients assessed for the primary outcome, of whom 92.4% were vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2, 705 had preoperative COVID-19. The primary outcome was reported in 140 (2.8%) patients. An 8-week preoperative COVID-19 was not associated with increased postoperative respiratory morbidity (odds ratio 1.08 [95% CI 0.48-2.13]; p = 0.83). None of the secondary outcomes differed between the two groups. Sensitivity analyses concerning the timing between COVID-19 and surgery, and the clinical presentations of preoperative COVID-19 did not show any association with the primary outcome, except for COVID-19 patients with ongoing symptoms the day of surgery (OR 4.29 [1.02-15.8]; p = 0.04). Interpretation: In our Omicron-predominant, highly immunised population undergoing general surgery, a preoperative COVID-19 was not associated with increased postoperative respiratory morbidity. Funding: The study was fully funded by the French Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (SFAR).

RESUMO

This updated meta-analysis aims at exploring whether the use of systematic high vs low intraoperative oxygen fraction (FiO2) may decrease the incidence of postoperative surgical site infection during general (GA) or regional anesthesia (RA). PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched from January 1st, 1999 and July, 1st 2022, for randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials that included patients in a high and low FiO2 groups and reported the incidence of SSI. The meta-analysis was conducted with a DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model. Thirty studies (24 for GA and 6 for RA) totaling 18,055 patients (15,871 for GA and 2184 for RA) were included. We have low-to-moderate-quality evidence that high FiO2 (mainly 80%) was not associated with a reduction of SSI incidence compared to low FiO2 (mainly 30%) in all patients (RR 0.90, 95%CI 0.79-1.03). Moderate inconsistency existed between studies (I2 = 38%). Subgroup analyses showed a moderate protective effect in patients undergoing GA (RR 0.86, 95%CI 0.75-0.99) (low level of evidence), while high FiO2 was not associated with a reduction of SSI in patients undergoing RA (RR 1.17, 95%CI 0.90-1.52) (moderate level of evidence). Sensitivity analyses restricted to patients ventilated without nitrous oxide (n = 20 studies), to patients operated from abdominal surgeries (n = 21 studies), and to patients suffering from deep SSI (n = 13 studies), all showed the absence of any significant effect of high FiO2. As a conclusion there is no compelling evidence that high FiO2 can improve postoperative patient's outcome on its own when good SSI prevention practices are properly applied. Recent well-designed and adequately powered randomized controlled trials add further weight to these results.

RESUMO

Extended-spectrum-ß-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBL-PE) intestinal colonization is of particular concern as it negatively impacts morbidity and is the main source of external cross-contamination in hospitalized patients. Contact isolation strategies may be caught out due to the turnaround time needed by laboratories to report intestinal colonization, during which patients may be inappropriately isolated or not isolated. Here, we developed a protocol combining enrichment by a rapid selective subculture of rectal swab medium and realization of a ß-Lacta test on the obtained bacterial pellet (named the BLESSED protocol). The performances of this protocol were validated in vitro on 12 ESBL-PE strains spiked into calibrated sample suspensions and confirmed in clinical settings using 155 rectal swabs, of which 23 (reference method) and 31 (postenrichment broth culture) came from ESBL-PE carriers. In vitro, the protocol detected, with 100% sensitivity, the presence of the 12 ESBL-PE strains from 104 CFU/mL. In the clinical validation cohort, 22 out of the 23 (reference method) and 28 out of the 31 (postenrichment broth culture) ESBL-PE-positive rectal samples were accurately detected. The diagnostic performances for ESBL-PE detection, considering all ESBL-PE carriers, were 90% sensitivity, 98% specificity, an 87% positive predictive value, and a 98% negative predictive value. Our protocol is a rapid and low-cost method that can detect intestinal colonization with ESBL-PE in less than 5 h more accurately than the reference method, opening the field for further studies assessing a rapid and targeted isolation strategy applied only to patients with a positive BLESSED protocol result. IMPORTANCE To both improve the efficiency of contact isolation among ESBL-PE carriers and avoid the unnecessary isolation of noncolonized patients, we should reduce the turnaround time of ESBL screening in laboratories and improve the sensitivity of diagnostic methods. The development of rapid and low-cost methods that satisfy these two goals is a promising approach. In this study, we developed such a technique and report its good diagnostic performance, opening the door for further studies assessing a rapid and targeted isolation strategy applied in a few hours only for patients truly colonized with ESBL-producing bacteria.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To provide recommendations for the anaesthetic and peri-operative management for thrombectomy procedure in stroke patients DESIGN: A consensus committee of 15 experts issued from the French Society of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine (Société Française d'Anesthésie et Réanimation, SFAR), the Association of French-language Neuro-Anaesthetists (Association des Neuro-Anesthésistes Réanimateurs de Langue Francaise, ANARLF), the French Neuro-Vascular Society (Société Francaise de Neuro-Vasculaire, SFNV), the French Neuro-Radiology Society (Société Francaise de Neuro-Radiologie, SFNR) and the French Study Group on Haemostasis and Thrombosis (Groupe Français d'Études sur l'Hémostase et la Thrombose, GFHT) was convened, under the supervision of two expert coordinators from the SFAR and the ANARLF. A formal conflict-of-interest policy was developed at the outset of the process and enforced throughout. The entire guideline elaboration process was conducted independently of any industry funding. The authors were required to follow the principles of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system to guide their assessment of quality of evidence. METHODS: Four fields were defined prior to the literature search: (1) Peri-procedural management, (2) Prevention and management of secondary brain injuries, (3) Management of antiplatelet and anticoagulant treatments, (4) Post-procedural management and orientation of the patient. Questions were formulated using the PICO format (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcomes) and updated as needed. Analysis of the literature was then conducted and the recommendations were formulated according to the GRADE methodology. RESULTS: The SFAR/ANARLF/SFNV/SFNR/GFHT guideline panel drew up 18 recommendations regarding anaesthetic management of mechanical thrombectomy procedures. Due to a lack of data in the literature allowing to conclude with high certainty on relevant clinical outcomes, the experts decided to formulate these guidelines as "Professional Practice Recommendations" (PPR) rather than "Formalized Expert Recommendations". After two rounds of rating and several amendments, a strong agreement was reached on 100% of the recommendations. No recommendation could be formulated for two questions. CONCLUSIONS: Strong agreement among experts was reached to provide a sizable number of recommendations aimed at optimising anaesthetic management for thrombectomy in patients suffering from stroke.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 patients requiring mechanical ventilation are particularly at risk of developing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Risk factors and the prognostic impact of developing VAP during critical COVID-19 have not been fully documented. METHODS: Patients invasively ventilated for at least 48 h from the prospective multicentre COVID-ICU database were included in the analyses. Cause-specific Cox regression models were used to determine factors associated with the occurrence of VAP. Cox-regression multivariable models were used to determine VAP prognosis. Risk factors and the prognostic impact of early vs. late VAP, and Pseudomonas-related vs. non-Pseudomonas-related VAP were also determined. MAIN FINDINGS: 3388 patients were analysed (63 [55-70] years, 75.8% males). VAP occurred in 1523/3388 (45.5%) patients after 7 [5-9] days of ventilation. Identified bacteria were mainly Enterobacteriaceae followed by Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. VAP risk factors were male gender (Hazard Ratio (HR) 1.26, 95% Confidence Interval [1.09-1.46]), concomitant bacterial pneumonia at ICU admission (HR 1.36 [1.10-1.67]), PaO2/FiO2 ratio at intubation (HR 0.99 [0.98-0.99] per 10 mmHg increase), neuromuscular-blocking agents (HR 0.89 [0.76-0.998]), and corticosteroids (HR 1.27 [1.09-1.47]). VAP was associated with 90-mortality (HR 1.34 [1.16-1.55]), predominantly due to late VAP (HR 1.51 [1.26-1.81]). The impact of Pseudomonas-related and non-Pseudomonas-related VAP on mortality was similar. CONCLUSION: VAP affected almost half of mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients. Several risk factors have been identified, among which modifiable risk factors deserve further investigation. VAP had a specific negative impact on 90-day mortality, particularly when it occurred between the end of the first week and the third week of ventilation.

RESUMO

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) alveolar environment induced a pro-repair anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization. However, patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ARDS frequently exhibit a huge lung inflammation and present pulmonary scars and fibrosis more frequently than patients with non-COVID-19 ARDS, suggesting that the COVID-19 ARDS alveolar environment may drive a more inflammatory or pro-fibrotic macrophage polarization. This study aimed to determine the effect of the COVID-19 ARDS alveolar environment on macrophage polarization. The main finding was that broncho-alveolar lavage fluids (BALF) from patients with early COVID-19 ARDS drove an alternative anti-inflammatory polarization in normal monocyte-derived macrophages; characterized by increased expressions of CD163 and CD16 mRNA (3.4 [2.7-7.2] and 4.7 [2.6-5.8] fold saline control, respectively - p = 0.02), and a secretory pattern close to that of macrophages stimulated with IL-10, with the specificity of an increased production of IL-6. This particular alternative pattern was specific to early ARDS (compared with late ARDS) and of COVID-19 ARDS (compared with moderate COVID-19). The early COVID-19 ARDS alveolar environment drives an alternative anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization with the specificity of inducing macrophage production of IL-6.

RESUMO

To provide recommendations on the management of urgent obstetrical emergencies outside the maternity ward. A group of 24 experts from the French Society of Emergency Medicine (SFMU), the French Society of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine (SFAR) and the French College of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians (CNGOF) was convened. Potential conflicts of interest were formally declared at the outset of the guideline development process, which was conducted independently of industry funding. The authors followed the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) method to assess the level of evidence in the literature. The potential drawbacks of strong recommendations in the presence of low-level evidence were highlighted. Some recommendations with an insufficient level of evidence were not graded. Eight areas were defined: imminent delivery, postpartum haemorrhage (prevention and management), threat of premature delivery, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, trauma, imaging, cardiopulmonary arrest, and emergency obstetric training. For each field, the expert panel formulated questions according to the PICO model (population, intervention, comparison, outcomes) and an extensive literature search was conducted. Analysis of the literature and formulation of recommendations were conducted according to the GRADE method. Fifteen recommendations on the management of obstetrical emergencies were issued by the SFMU/SFAR/CNGOF panel of experts, and 4 recommendations from formalised expert recommendations (RFE) established by the same societies were taken up to answer 4 PICO questions dealing with the pre-hospital context. After two rounds of voting and several amendments, strong agreement was reached for all the recommendations. For two questions (cardiopulmonary arrest and inter-hospital transfer), no recommendation could be made. There was significant agreement among the experts on strong recommendations to improve practice in the management of urgent obstetric complications in emergency medicine.

RESUMO

MANAGEMENT OF CRITICAL COVID-19 IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT The management of patients with severe to critical forms of Covid-19 in the intensive care unit includes oxygen therapy to treat the deep hypoxaemia induced by the disease, either delivered non-invasively (high concentration mask, high flow oxygen therapy, NIV) or invasively after oro-tracheal intubation in the most severe forms. The symptomatic management becomes then similar to that of an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) of other origin with the introduction of protective mechanical ventilation, sedation or even curarisation, and prone positioning in the most hypoxemic patients. Other organ failures, including haemodynamic and renal failures, should also be diagnosed and treated. Thrombo-prophylaxis at a higher than usual dose (intermediate or even curative dose) should also be initiated in the acute phase of the disease. Finally, specific treatment is mainly based on systemic corticosteroid therapy with dexamethasone 6 mg/d, possibly combined with tocilizumab. Other Covid-19-specific treatments have not yet been proven to be effective in critical care patients.


PRISE EN CHARGE DES FORMES GRAVES DE COVID-19 EN RÉANIMATION La prise en charge en réanimation des patients atteints d'une forme sévère à critique de Covid-19 comporte une oxygénothérapie pour lutter contre l'hypoxémie profonde induite par la maladie ; elle peut être délivrée de façon non invasive (masque à haute concentration, oxygénothérapie à haut débit, VNI) ou invasive après intubation orotrachéale dans les formes les plus sévères. La prise en charge symptomatique rejoint alors celle d'un syndrome de détresse respiratoire aiguë (SDRA) d'origine autre que celle du Covid-19, avec instauration d'une ventilation mécanique protectrice, d'une sédation voire d'une curarisation, et d'un posturage en décubitus ventral lorsque l'hypoxémie est profonde. Les autres défaillances d'organes, notamment hémodynamique et rénale, doivent également être diagnostiquées et traitées. Une thrombo-prophylaxie à dose plus élevée qu'à l'habitude (dose intermédiaire voire curative) doit être initiée à la phase aiguë de la maladie. Enfin, le traitement spécifique repose avant tout sur la corticothérapie systémique (dexaméthasone 6 mg/j), éventuellement associée au tocilizumab ; les autres traitements spécifiques de la maladie n'ont pas, à ce jour, fait la preuve de leur efficacité chez les patients en unité de soins critiques.

RESUMO

Preclinical studies have shown that volatile anesthetics may have beneficial effects on injured lungs, and pilot clinical data support improved arterial oxygenation, attenuated inflammation, and decreased lung epithelial injury in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) receiving inhaled sevoflurane compared to intravenous midazolam. Whether sevoflurane is effective in improving clinical outcomes among patients with ARDS is unknown, and the benefits and risks of inhaled sedation in ARDS require further evaluation. Here, we describe the SESAR (Sevoflurane for Sedation in ARDS) trial designed to address this question. SESAR is a two-arm, investigator-initiated, multicenter, prospective, randomized, stratified, parallel-group clinical trial with blinded outcome assessment designed to test the efficacy of sedation with sevoflurane compared to intravenous propofol in patients with moderate to severe ARDS. The primary outcome is the number of days alive and off the ventilator at 28 days, considering death as a competing event, and the key secondary outcome is 90 day survival. The planned enrollment is 700 adult participants at 37 French academic and non-academic centers. Safety and long-term outcomes will be evaluated, and biomarker measurements will help better understand mechanisms of action. The trial is funded by the French Ministry of Health, the European Society of Anaesthesiology, and Sedana Medical.
