Radiology in the Intensive Care Unit (Part I)
Tập 18 Số 4 - Trang 198-210 - 2003
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 communication
system ...
Clinical Utility of B-Type Natriuretic Peptide in Early Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock
Tập 22 Số 6 - Trang 363-373 - 2007
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 presenting ...
Plasma Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Troponin Levels in Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock
Tập 29 Số 4 - Trang 229-237 - 2014
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
echocardiography was mea...
Neurogenic Fever
Tập 32 Số 2 - Trang 124-129 - 2017
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 hemorrhage,...
Atypical Antipsychotics for the Treatment of ICU Delirium
Tập 27 Số 6 - Trang 354-361 - 2012
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. Haloperido...
Massive Hemoptysis: Pathogenesis and Management
Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 171-188 - 1988
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 circulation...
Brain Injury as a Risk Factor for Fever Upon Admission to the Intensive Care Unit and Association With In-Hospital Case Fatality
Tập 30 Số 2 - Trang 107-114 - 2015
Purpose: 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 registry.
Critically ill neurological patients ≥18 years and consecutively admitted to the
intensive care...
Selection of an Empiric Antibiotic Regimen for Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia Using a Unit and Culture-Type Specific Antibiogram
Tập 20 Số 5 - Trang 296-301 - 2005
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
antibiogram sho...
Responsiveness of Inhaled Epoprostenol in Respiratory Failure due to COVID-19
Tập 36 Số 3 - Trang 327-333 - 2021
Background: 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 physiologic impact. Methods: This is a retrospective
...
Protecting Participants of Clinical Trials Conducted in the Intensive Care Unit
Tập 26 Số 4 - Trang 237-249 - 2011
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
true inte...
