301. The effect of positive pressure airway support on mortality and the need for intubation in cardiogenic pulmonary edema: a systematic review.
To critically appraise and summarize the trials examining the addition of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) to standard therapy on hospital mortality, need for endotracheal intubation, and predischarge left ventricular function in patients admitted to the hospital with cardiogenic pulmonary edema with gas exchange abnormalities.
302. The timing of tracheotomy: a systematic review.
To examine the impact of the timing of tracheotomy on the duration of mechanical ventilation, the secondary changes to the trachea, and the clinical course of critically ill patients in the ICU.
303. A systematic review of the cost-effectiveness of noncardiac transitional care units.
To critically appraise and summarize the studies examining the cost-effectiveness of noncardiac transitional care units (TCUs).
