Rapid response team and hospital mortality in hospitalized patients

International audienceAlthough rapid response systems are known to reduce in-hospital cardiac arrest rate, their effect on mortality remains debated. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of implementing an intensivist-led rapid response team (RRT) on mortality in hospitalized patients

Thoracic Trauma Severity score on admission allows to determine the risk of delayed ARDS in trauma patients with pulmonary contusion

International audiencePulmonary contusion is a major risk factor of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in trauma patients. As this complication may appear after a free interval of 24-48 h, detection of patients at risk is essential. The main objective of this study was to assess the performance of the Thoracic Trauma Severity (TTS) score upon admission in predicting delayed ARDS in blunt trauma patients with pulmonary contusion
