Observational StudyEffects of short-term hyperoxia on sytemic hemodynamics, oxygen transport, and microcirculation: An observational study in patients with septic shock and healthy volunteers.
To characterize the microvascular effects of a brief period of hyperoxia, in patients with septic shock and in healthy volunteers. ⋯ Short-term hyperoxia induced systemic cardiovascular changes but was not associated with noticeable derangement in sublingual microcirculation and skin perfusion. Nevertheless, longer exposures to hyperoxia might have produced different results.

Observational StudyDifferences in 90-day mortality of delirium subtypes in the intensive care unit: A retrospective cohort study.
Many intensive care unit (ICU) patients suffer from delirium which is associated with deleterious short-term and long-term effects, including mortality. We determined the association between different delirium subtypes and 90-day mortality. ⋯ After adjusting for covariates, including competing risk factors, only the mixed delirium subtype was significantly associated with 90-day mortality.
