TL;DR: A more potent antithrombotic effect is associated with a decreased risk of ischemic events but an increased risk of bleeding, and finding the right balance remains a major challenge.

TL;DR: The concept of pratique avancee en soins infirmiers (IPA) as mentioned in this paper was introduced by l’aide des cadres de reference internationaux valides.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to describe the main microbiological characteristics of biofilms and the main epidemiologic data regarding the risk of biofilm-related infections in intensive care unit and detail the main aspects of their preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic management.

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to explain the pathophysiological basis of myoclonus following cardiac arrest, expose diagnostic methods, recall the therapeutics and involvement of myOClonus in the prognosis of cardiac arrest.

TL;DR: The new definition suggested for ventilator-associated complications is not accurate in diagnosing VAP; therefore it is not recommended for routine use.

TL;DR: Though SLB provides essential findings for the understanding and management in ARDS patients, this procedure is currently limited to a few centers and was found to change management in the majority of patients across the studies.

TL;DR: In this paper, a revue centree sur les methodes d'epuration extrarenale des toxiques par circuit extracorporelles (EEC) is presented.

TL;DR: Non-valvular new-onset atrial fibrillation is the most frequent rhythm disorder in surgical and non-surgical intensive care units, occurring in 6 to 46% of critically ill patients, and may be associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic events and death.

TL;DR: Hemodynamic failure (due to vasoplegia and/or myocardic dysfunction) is the most commonly observed feature associated with post-cardiac arrest, and post-resuscitation syndrome gathers data on patients who regain spontaneous circulation after cardiac arrest.
