ICU sedation, delirium & recovery

Outcomes in Critically Ill Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Transplantation Recipients

Am J Respir Crit Care MedPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Most critically ill Allo-HSCT recipients survive their ICU stays, including those requiring mechanical ventilation, with an overall 90-day survival rate reaching 51.8%.
