- 1From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-Reviewed
- 2From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Purpura fulminans (PF) is a devastating complication of uncontrolled systemic inflammation, associated with high incidence of amputations, skin grafts and death. In this study, we aimed to clarify the...
- 3From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Data on quality of life beyond 2 years after intensive care discharge are limited and we aimed to explore this area further. Our objective was to quantify quality of life and health utilities in the 5...
- 4From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Recruitment maneuvers (RMs) seem to be more effective in extrapulmonary acute lung injury (ALI), caused mainly by sepsis, than in pulmonary ALI. Nevertheless, the maintenance of adequate volemic status...
- 5From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Previous studies have suggested that high volume hemofiltration (HVHF) may contribute to revert hypotension in severe hyperdynamic septic shock patients. However, arterial pressure stabilization occurs...
- 6From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Previous reports suggest that endothelial activation is an important process in sepsis pathogenesis. We investigated the association between biomarkers of endothelial cell activation and sepsis severity,...
- 7From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Activated Protein C (APC), an endogenous anticoagulant, improves tissue microperfusion and endothelial cell survival in systemic inflammatory states such as sepsis, but intravenous administration may...
- 8From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Sepsis is a serious medical condition that requires rapidly administered, appropriate antibiotic treatment. Conventional methods take three or more days for final pathogen identification and...
- 9From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Many approaches have been examined to try to predict patient outcome after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It has been shown that plasma DNA could predict mortality in critically ill patients but no data...
- 10From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Sepsis is thought to be an abnormal inflammatory response to infection. However, most clinical trials of drugs that modulate the inflammatory response of sepsis have been unsuccessful. Emerging genomic...
- 11From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Sepsis in critically ill patients is almost associated with bad prognosis and its early detection may improve the prognosis. However, it is difficult to monitor the immunological state of these patients...
- 12From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Outcome studies in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) have focused on differences between modalities of renal replacement therapy (RRT). The outcome of conservative treatment, however, has never...
- 13From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction In recent years, several massive earthquakes have occurred across the globe. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is reliable in detecting spinal injuries. The purpose of this study was to compare...

- 15From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Bacteremia is recognized as a critical condition that influences the outcome of sepsis. Although large-scale surveillance studies of bacterial species causing bacteremia have been published, the...
- 16From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Pulmonary edema (PED) is a severe complication after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). PED is often treated with diuretics and a reduction in fluid intake, but this may cause intravascular volume...
- 17From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction As it becomes clear that mechanical ventilation can exaggerate lung injury, individual titration of ventilator settings is of special interest. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has been proposed as...
- 18From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction To study the level and predictors of posttraumatic stress, anxiety and depression symptoms in medical, surgical and trauma patients during the first year post intensive care unit (ICU) discharge....
- 19From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction It has been proposed that doses of amikacin of >15 mg/kg should be used in conditions associated with an increased volume of distribution (V.sub.d ), such as severe sepsis and septic shock. The primary...
- 20From: Critical Care. (Vol. 14) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Results of the first randomized trial comparing on-demand versus planned-relaparotomy strategy in patients with severe peritonitis (RELAP trial) indicated no clear differences in primary outcomes. We now...
