Restrictive vs Liberal Physical Restraint Strategies in Critically Ill Patients This randomized clinical trial examines the effect of a low-use vs high-use physical restraint strategy in critically ill patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit.

At Last, my dear friend Romain Sonneville presented his paper about physical restraint in MV ICU patients.
Again, "négative" result. In particular, no more delirium and/or sedative use in case of physical restraint

Epidemiology, ventilation, and outcomes of acute respiratory failure in immunocompromised patients from 103 intensive care units in 26 countries: a retrospective observational study In this large international cohort of immunocompromised patients with ARF, we identified key risk and protective factors for mortality and intubation. These findings could improve outcomes by informin...

The 3rd paper was observational by Élie Azoulay.
Nothing really new. The more sick, the more sick. One dies less if the cause of ARF is pulmonary edema...

High-Flow or Standard Oxygen in Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure | NEJM Data are needed on the effect of oxygen delivered through a high-flow nasal cannula, as compared with standard oxygen therapy, on intubation and mortality in patients with acute hypoxemic respirato...

The 2nd paper is a french paper by JP Frat and the SOHO group.
