Radiology in the Intensive Care Unit (Part I)Journal of Intensive Care Medicine - Tập 18 Số 4 - Trang 198-210 - 2003
Beatrice Trotman‐Dickenson
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
To Wean or Not to Wean: A Practical Patient Focused Guide to Ventilator WeaningJournal of Intensive Care Medicine - Tập 37 Số 11 - Trang 1417-1425 - 2022
Padmastuti Akella, Louis Voigt, Sanjay Chawla
Since the inception of critical care medicine and artificial ventilation, literature and research on weaning has transformed daily patient care in intensive care units (ICU). As our knowledge of mechanical ventilation (MV) improved, so did the need to study patient-ventilator interactions and weaning predictors. Randomized trials have evaluated the use of protocol-based weaning (vs. usual...... hiện toàn bộ
A Review of and Recommendations for the Management of Patients With Life-Threatening Dabigatran-Associated HemorrhageJournal of Intensive Care Medicine - Tập 30 Số 8 - Trang 462-472 - 2015
Rohit Kumar, Roy E. Smith, Brian L. Henry
Dabigatran is an oral direct thrombin inhibitor that is approved for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Dabigatran has several advantages over warfarin including predictable pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics which eliminates the need for routine laboratory monitoring, superiority over warfarin in preventing stroke, or systemic embolism w...... hiện toàn bộ
Trends in Management and Mortality in Adults Hospitalized With Cardiac Arrest in the United StatesJournal of Intensive Care Medicine - Tập 34 Số 3 - Trang 252-258 - 2019
Jignesh Patel, Hongdao Meng, Puja B. Parikh
Background: We sought to examine temporal trends in management (ie, use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [ECMO], therapeutic hypothermia [TH], coronary angiogram, and percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI]) and in-hospital mortality in adults hospitalized with cardiac arrest. Methods: ...... hiện toàn bộ
Massive Hemoptysis: Pathogenesis and ManagementJournal of Intensive Care Medicine - Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 171-188 - 1988
Stephen M. Winter, David H. Ingbar
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
Responsiveness of Inhaled Epoprostenol in Respiratory Failure due to COVID-19Journal of Intensive Care Medicine - Tập 36 Số 3 - Trang 327-333 - 2021
Rajiv Sonti, C. William Pike, Nathan K. Cobb
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 physiologi...... hiện toàn bộ
Protecting Participants of Clinical Trials Conducted in the Intensive Care UnitJournal of Intensive Care Medicine - Tập 26 Số 4 - Trang 237-249 - 2011
Brigid M. Flanagan, Sean Philpott, Martin A. Strosberg
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
Neurogenic FeverJournal of Intensive Care Medicine - Tập 32 Số 2 - Trang 124-129 - 2017
Kevin Meier, Kiwon Lee
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
