    Abstract Exogenous sodium lactate has many advantages after traumatic brain injury, including intracranial pressure control and alternative energetic supply. It remains unclear, however, whether half-molar sodium lactate (HSL) is effectively incorporated in brain metabolism, which we can verify using the arteriovenous difference in lactate (AVD

    Abstract Background: Neuromonitoring devices are often used in traumatic brain injury. The objective of this report is to raise awareness concerning variations in optimal cerebral perfusion pressure (CPPopt) determination using exploratory information provided by two neuromonitoring monitors that are part of research programs (Moberg CNS Monitor and RAUMED NeuroSmart LogO).
    Methods: We connected both monitors simultaneously to a parenchymal intracranial pressure catheter and recorded the pressure reactivity index (PRx) and the derived CPPopt estimates for a patient with a severe traumatic brain injury. These estimates were available at the bedside and were updated at each minute.
    Results: Using the Bland and Altman method, we found a mean variation of - 3.8 (95% confidence internal from - 8.5 to 0.9) mm Hg between the CPPopt estimates provided by the two monitors (limits of agreement from - 26.6 to 19.1 mm Hg). The PRx and CPPopt trends provided by the two monitors were similar over time, but CPPopt trends differed when PRx values were around zero. Also, almost half of the CPPopt estimates differed by more than 10 mm Hg.
    Conclusions: These wide variations recorded in the same patient are worrisome and reiterate the importance of understanding and standardizing the methodology and algorithms behind commercial neuromonitoring devices prior to incorporating them in clinical use.

    Abstract The goal of neurocritical care is to prevent and reverse the pathologic cascades of secondary brain injury by optimizing cerebral blood flow, oxygen supply and substrate delivery. While glucose is an essential energetic substrate for the brain, we frequently observe a strong decrease in glucose delivery and/or a glucose metabolic dysregulation following acute brain injury. In parallel, during the last decades, lactate and ketone bodies have been identified as potential alternative fuels to provide energy to the brain, both under physiological conditions and in case of glucose shortage. They are now viewed as integral parts of brain metabolism. In addition to their energetic role, experimental evidence also supports their neuroprotective properties after acute brain injury, regulating in particular intracranial pressure control, decreasing ischemic volume, and leading to an improvement in cognitive functions as well as survival. In this review, we present preclinical and clinical evidence exploring the mechanisms underlying their neuroprotective effects and identify research priorities for promoting lactate and ketone bodies use in brain injury.

    Abstract Background: Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is a major surgery often associated with significant bleeding. We conducted a systematic review to explore the association between preoperative fibrinogen level and intraoperative blood products transfusion, blood loss and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing OLT.
    Methods: We included observational studies conducted in patients undergoing an OLT mostly for end-stage liver disease that reported an association between the preoperative fibrinogen level and our outcomes of interest. Our primary outcome was the intraoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion requirements. Our secondary outcomes were intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative transfusion of any blood product, postoperative RBC transfusion, postoperative thrombotic or hemorrhagic complications, and mortality. We used a standardized search strategy. We reported our results mostly descriptively but conducted meta-analyses using random-effect models when judged feasible.
    Results: We selected 24 cohort studies reporting at least one of our outcomes. We found that a high preoperative fibrinogen level was associated with fewer intraoperative RBC and other blood products transfusions, and lower blood loss. We also found a lower overall survival in patients with a higher fibrinogen level (pooled hazard ratio [95% CI] of 1.50 [1.23 to 1.84]; 5 studies, n = 1012, I
    Conclusion: A higher preoperative fibrinogen level was associated with fewer intraoperative RBC and other blood products transfusions, lower blood loss, and higher mortality. Further studies may help clarify observed associations and inform guidelines.

    Abstract Background: The impact of obesity on outcomes in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is not well understood and remains controversial. Recent studies suggest that obesity might be associated with higher morbidity and mortality in respiratory disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 disease). Our objective was to evaluate the association between obesity and hospital mortality in critical COVID-19 patients.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study in a tertiary academic center located in Montréal between March and August 2020. We included all consecutive adult patients admitted to the ICU for COVID-19-confirmed respiratory disease. Our main outcome was hospital mortality. We estimated the association between obesity, using the body mass index as a continuous variable, and hospital survival by fitting a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model.
    Results: We included 94 patients. Median [q1, q3] body mass index (BMI) was 29 [26-32] kg/m
    Conclusions: Obesity was prevalent in hospitalized patients with critical illness secondary to COVID-19 disease and a higher BMI was associated with higher hospital mortality. Further studies are needed to validate this association and to better understand its underlying mechanisms.
