However, they are associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs), resulting from excessive immune activation. Some irAEs can be life-threatening and require intensive care unit (ICU) management. These toxicities involve cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, gastrointestinal, neurologic, endocrine, and hematologic systems and often occur early in the ICI course. As ICI become increasingly integrated into earlier phases of cancer care, intensivists must be prepared to manage irAEs.DESIGNNarrative review objectives: To summarize the evolving evidence on the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of severe irAEs requiring intensive care by looking for the most relevant articles up to August 2025. The review emphasizes (1) the rationale and timing for immunosuppression beyond corticosteroids, (2) the integration of hemodynamic and organ support strategies, and (3) the importance of multidisciplinary coordination between oncology and critical care teams.RESULTSEarly recognition, structured diagnostic evaluation, and multidisciplinary management are key to optimizing outcomes. Although overall mortality remains high-particularly in myocarditis and multisystem involvement-timely diagnosis and individualized immunosuppressive therapy can improve survival. Rechallenge with ICIs may be cautiously considered in selected patients after full clinical recovery and comprehensive risk assessment. This review aims to support intensivists facing this emerging clinical scenario by synthesizing current evidence and practical strategies for balancing immune modulation with oncologic efficacy in the ICU setting.","PeriodicalId":13665,"journal":{"name":"Intensive Care Medicine","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":38.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145338838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Articles eligible for the current study derived from those previously reviewed at full text review. Included in the current study were randomised or observational studies among critically ill adults, that reported delirium or pain incidence or prevalence. Proportion data was transformed using the Freeman-Tukey double arcsine method prior to pooling using a random effects meta-analysis model. Joanna Briggs' Institute prevalence checklist was used for risk of bias.RESULTSFrom 517 full-text articles, 213 original studies, 226 publications (183,285 patients) were included. The pooled delirium prevalence (173 studies) was 35.7% (95%CI 32.4-39.0%). The most common delirium subtype was hypoactive (16.5%, 95%CI 12.1-21.4%). The pooled delirium incidence (41 studies) was 28.8% (95%CI 23.2-34.8%). The pooled pain prevalence (11 studies) was 43.5% (95%CI 28.6-58.9%). Delirium prevalence but not incidence decreased since 2013 (before: 39.9%, 95%CI 34.7-45.3% vs. after: 32.3%, 95%CI 28.2-36.5%, p = 0.02).

The clinical landscape of IC is evolving, with increasing recognition of Candida non-albicans species and other yeasts formerly classified as Candida spp., alongside emerging multidrug resistance and growing complexity in host immune profiles.OBJECTIVESThis contemporary, multidisciplinary narrative review-authored by intensivists, infectious diseases specialists, clinical microbiologists, and pharmacologists-aims to provide ICU clinicians with practical, up-to-date insights into the diagnosis and management of IC. To maintain clinical focus, the review excludes non-IC fungal infections and non-ICU patient populations.METHODSRelevant literature and expert consensus were critically reviewed to summarize current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for IC in critically ill patients. Emphasis was placed on pragmatic clinical application, diagnostic limitations, antifungal stewardship, and personalized therapeutic decision-making.RESULTSDespite the availability of novel antifungal agents with improved pharmacokinetic properties, treatment success in IC depends equally on timely and accurate diagnosis and individualized, context-aware therapy. Blood cultures continue to demonstrate limited sensitivity (~40%). Non-culture assays, including β-D-glucan and molecular diagnostics, provide faster detection and high negative predictive value but suffer from low positive predictive value and inconsistent adoption in clinical practice. The absence of validated host-derived biomarkers further limits risk stratification, antifungal discontinuation decisions, and personalized care.CONCLUSIONSEmerging antifungal agents, stewardship strategies, and multidisciplinary care models are essential to improve clinical outcomes and reduce antifungal resistance. This review underscores the need for integrated, team-based diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to close persistent gaps in IC management, ultimately promoting more effective, timely, and individualized care for critically ill patients with Candida spp.INFECTIONS","PeriodicalId":13665,"journal":{"name":"Intensive Care Medicine","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":38.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145331811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
