TL;DR: In this secondary analysis of the STARRT-AKI trial, an accelerated strategy of RRT initiation conferred a higher risk of 90-day RRT dependence among patients with pre-existing CKD; however, no effect was observed in the absence of CKD.

TL;DR: Significant regional practice variation exists regarding FB, timing of initiation of RRT, and initial use of continuous RRT among patients with severe acute kidney injury, and after adjustment, such practice variation was associated with lower ICU and hospital stay and 90-day mortality among ANZ patients compared with other regions.

TL;DR: An automated, patient-attached system that uses near-infrared spectroscopy to measure glucose in whole blood will aid caregivers in achieving tight glycemic control in critical care patients.

TL;DR: This review highlights the need to understand more fully the rationale behind the continued use of intensive care units, as well as the barriers to entry, that exist in and around the intensive care unit.
