Randomized Controlled Trial
Health economic evaluation alongside the Probiotics to Prevent Severe Pneumonia and Endotracheal Colonization Trial (E-PROSPECT): a cost-effectiveness analysis.
We sought to compare the cost-effectiveness of probiotics and usual care with usual care without probiotics in mechanically ventilated, intensive care unit patients alongside the Probiotics to Prevent Severe Pneumonia and Endotracheal Colonization Trial (PROSPECT). ⋯ gov (NCT01782755); registered 4 February 2013.

Observational Study
Changes in sensory block level during a programmed intermittent epidural bolus regimen for labour analgesia: a prospective observational cohort study.
In the context of a programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) regimen for labour analgesia, one can identify an upper sensory block level (USBL), defined as the highest dermatome with any altered sensation to cold, and a lower sensory block level (LSBL), defined as the highest dermatome with complete sensory block to cold. This study investigated whether and how these sensory block levels vary within PIEB cycles. ⋯ gov (NCT04716660); registered 21 January 2021.

While patient and family engagement may improve clinical care and research, current practices for engagement in Canadian intensive care units (ICUs) are unknown. ⋯ Organizational strategies and institutional support were key facilitators of engagement. Engagement in patient care was a higher priority than engagement in research.
