Radiology in the Intensive Care Unit (Part I) The increasing complexity of the intensive care patient combined with the recent advances in imaging technology has generated a new perspective on intensive care radiology. The purpose of this 2-part review article is to describe the contribution of radiology to the management of these critically ill patients. The first article will discuss the impact of picture archiving and communicatio... ... hiện toàn bộ

Clinical Utility of B-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Early Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic utility in critically ill patients. For severe sepsis and septic shock patients in particular, similar clinical utility from the most proximal aspects of hospital presentation to the intensive care unit has not been examined. BNP levels were measured at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours in 252 patients pr... ... hiện toàn bộ

Plasma Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Troponin Levels in Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels as mortality prognosticator and predictor for myocardial dysfunction in severe sepsis and septic shock. Baseline clinical and biological variables were collected from 47 patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. Ventricular systolic function assessed by echocardiograph... ... hiện toàn bộ

Neurogenic Fever Fever is a relatively common occurrence among patients in the intensive care setting. Although the most obvious and concerning etiology is sepsis, drug reactions, venous thromboembolism, and postsurgical fevers are all on the differential diagnosis. There is abundant evidence that fever is detrimental in acute neurologic injury. Worse outcomes are reported in acute stroke, subarachnoid he... ... hiện toàn bộ

Atypical Antipsychotics for the Treatment of ICU Delirium Delirium is commonly described in critically ill patients as 1 factor contributing to increased length of intensive care unit and hospital stay, secondary complications, and increased mortality. Initial screening tools for delirium in hospitalized patients are generally easy to use; however, many centers have struggled with implementing these tools in a consistent and systematic manner. H... ... hiện toàn bộ

Massive Hemoptysis: Pathogenesis and Management Massive hemoptysis is a life-threatening complication of many pulmonary disorders, and it occurs most com monly in association with longstanding inactive tuber culosis, bronchiectasis, lung abscess, bronchogenic car cinoma, and fungal disease. It is generally a neovascular change or local erosive effect of chronic pulmonary dis ease and may originate from either bronchial or pulmo nary ci... ... hiện toàn bộ

Brain Injury as a Risk Factor for Fever Upon Admission to the Intensive Care Unit and Association With In-Hospital Case FatalityPurpose: To test the hypothesis that fever was more frequent in critically ill patients with brain injury when compared to nonneurological patients and to study its effect on in-hospital case fatality. Methods: Retrospective matched cohort study utilizing a single-center prospectively compiled...

Selection of an Empiric Antibiotic Regimen for Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia Using a Unit and Culture-Type Specific Antibiogram The objective of this retrospective study was to determine the optimal initial antibiotic regimen for hospital-acquired pneumonia using the frequency and sensitivity of Gram negative microorganisms found in sputum cultures. An antibiogram was constructed and compared with the hospital intensive care unit (ICU) antibiogram. The results yielded 191 microorganisms. The study-generated antibi... ... hiện toàn bộ

Responsiveness of Inhaled Epoprostenol in Respiratory Failure due to COVID-19Background: Inhaled pulmonary vasodilators are used as adjunctive therapies for the treatment of refractory hypoxemia. Available evidence suggest they improve oxygenation in a subset of patients without changing long-term trajectory. Given the differences in respiratory failure due to COVID-19 and “traditional” ARDS, we sought to identify their physiologi...

Protecting Participants of Clinical Trials Conducted in the Intensive Care Unit Research in the intensive care unit (ICU) raises a number of scientific and ethical challenges. Potential participants in critical care studies are likely to be considered particularly vulnerable—they may lack sufficient capacity to make informed decisions about trial participation, their health care proxies may lack legal authority to enroll them in research trials or may not know their ... ... hiện toàn bộ
