Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Septic shock is the primary cause of mortality in sepsis, with its core pathophysiological mechanism being severe ischemia and hypoxia in critical units—composed of microcirculation and the mitochondria of functional cells—resulting from disruptions in blood flow and oxygen flow following a dysregulated host response. Due to the systemically convergent yet clinically heterogeneous nature of the host response, current understanding and management strategies for hemodynamics remain inconsistent, often leading to inadequate resuscitation or overtreatment. To improve the quality of care, based on a systematic review of the "blood flow-oxygen flow" theory, an expert panel emphasizes reevaluating septic shock from an integrated perspective of blood flow and oxygen flow, and has formulated the Expert Consensus on Blood Flow and Oxygen Delivery Phenotyping and Clinical Management of Septic Shock (2025). The consensus proposes that clinical typing of blood flow-oxygen flow should comprehensively consider cardiac function, vascular tone, oxygen flow utilization status in critical units, and disease trajectory, while optimizing subtype identification by integrating host response phenotypes and artificial intelligence technologies. It advocates establishing a continuous assessment system through multi-site oxygen flow monitoring for organ perfusion, peripheral perfusion monitoring, and critical care ultrasound. Under the framework of the "critical care triangle", the consensus promotes the implementation of individualized, bundled management strategies, providing guidance for multiple management points to restore blood flow-oxygen flow matching, reduce the risk of organ failure, and decrease patient mortality.

Objective:The clinical data of prenatal stillbirth were analyzed in order to increase the understand-ing of the causes of stillbirth.Methods:Prenatal stillbirth cases that terminated pregnancy in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital,Affiliated Hospital of Medical School,Nanjing University from January 2018 to December 2022 were col-lected,and the distribution characteristics of clinical data and the stillbirth causes were analyzed.The causes of death were classified according to the standards developed by the Stillbirth Collaborative Research Network(SCRN)in the United States,and they were divided into clear cause-of-death group and unknown cause-of-death group.The different characteristics of the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results:There were 210 ca-ses of prenatal stillbirth during the study period,and 104 cases met the inclusion criteria.Among them,33 cases(31.7%)had autopsy results,39 cases(37.5%)had genetic results,and 75 cases(72.1%)had placental pathol-ogy.According to the classification of SCRN standard,55 cases(52.9%)were probably related to the cause of death,33 cases(31.7%)were classified as possible,13 cases(12.5%)were probably unrelated,and 3 cases(2.9%)could not be attributed to the cause of death,that is,84.6%(88 cases)in the clear cause of death group and 15.4%(16 cases)in the unknown cause of death group.The rate of placental pathological examination in the clear cause of death group was significantly higher than that in the unknown cause of death group(78.4%).In the classification of causes of death,placental pathological changes accounted for the largest proportion,account-ing for 26.9%(28 cases),followed by pregnancy complications accounting for 25.0%(26 cases),and 15.4%of the cases were still unexplained.Conclusions:Placental pathology is of great significance for clarifying the cause of stillbirth.It is feasible to use SCRN to classify the etiology of stillbirth.Pathological placental conditions account for a relatively high proportion in the classification of stillbirth causes.It is recommended that each case of stillbirth placenta should undergo pathological examination.

Objective:To search and evaluate the literatures on the application of mechanical insufflation-exsufflation technique (MI-E) in patients with invasive mechanical ventilation in China and abroad, and to summarize the best evidence to provide evidence-based basis for clinical practice.Methods:The literatures related to the use of MI-E technique in invasive mechanical ventilation patients were searched from the establishment of the database to April 1, 2022 in BMJ Best Practice, UpToDate Clinical Advisor, Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN), Guidelines International Network (GIN), National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC), Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO), medlive, Cochrane Library, Joana Briggs Instiute, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), SinoMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, China Science and Technology Journal Database, and Website of American Association for Respiratory Care, including guideline, expert consensus, clinical decision, evidence summary, systematic review and randomized controlled trial. The JBI Center for Evidence-Based Health Care Expert Consensus Evaluation Criteria (2016) was used to evaluate the quality of the included systematic reviews; the JBI Center for Evidence-Based Health Care Evaluation Criteria for Randomized Controlled Trials was used to evaluate the quality of the included randomized controlled trial. Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of literature, and extracted and summarized the evidence based on professional judgment.Results:A total of 7 literatures were enrolled, including 3 systematic reviews and 4 randomized controlled trials. After quality evaluation, 7 articles were all enrolled. Thirteen best evidences were formed from four aspects of indications, contraindications, parameter settings, and attention.Conclusions:The study summarizes the best evidence for the application of MI-E technique in invasive mechanical ventilation patients. It is recommended that medical staff undergo professional training, combined with their professional judgment as well as the patient's clinical specific conditions and willingness, and accurately apply MI-E technology to invasive mechanical ventilation patients.
