- 1From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Cardiac complications are potentially life-threatening following emergency repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA). Our objectives were to describe the incidence, risk factors, cardiac...
- 2From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) account for a high proportion of ICU admissions, with Streptococcus pneumoniae being the main pathogen responsible for these infections. However, little is known on the...
- 3From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) has been considered as one of the major pattern recognition receptors and plays an important role in the development of sepsis and multiple organ...
- 4From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein [CRP] and procalcitonin [PCT], are insufficiently sensitive or specific to stratify patients with sepsis. We investigate the prognostic value of pancreatic stone...
- 5From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Early risk assessment is the mainstay of management of patients with sepsis. APACHE II is the gold standard prognostic stratification system. A prediction rule that aimed to improve prognostication by...

Hemofiltration compared to hemodialysis for acute kidney injury: systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the effect of renal replacement therapy (RRT), delivered as hemofiltration vs. hemodialysis, on clinical outcomes in patients... - 7From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Based on the hypothesis that failure of weaning from mechanical ventilation is caused by respiratory demand exceeding the capacity of the respiratory muscles, we evaluated whether extubation failure...
- 8From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction We have reported that altered gut flora is associated with septic complications and eventual death in critically ill patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome. It is unclear how fecal pH...
- 9From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction There are few studies on long-term mortality among intensive care unit (ICU) patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). We assessed the prevalence of AKI at ICU admission, its impact on mortality during...
- 10From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Many potential lung transplants are lost because of hypoxemia during donor management. We hypothesized that the apnea test, necessary to confirm the diagnosis of brain death in potential lung donors, was...
- 11From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Cardiogenic shock (CS) remains the leading cause of death in patients hospitalized for myocardial infarction (MI). Systemic inflammation with inappropriate vasodilatation is observed in many patients...
- 12From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Manual hyperinflation (MH), a frequently applied maneuver in critically ill intubated and mechanically ventilated patients, is suggested to mimic a cough so that airway secretions are mobilized toward...
- 13From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Hyperglycemia and insulin resistance have been associated with a worse outcome in sepsis. Although tight glycemic control through insulin therapy has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality rates,...
- 14From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction This systematic review is focused on the in-hospital mortality and neurological outcome of survivors after prehospital resuscitation following trauma. Data were analyzed for adults/pediatric patients and...
- 15From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction The early aggressive management of the acute coagulopathy of trauma may improve survival in the trauma population. However, the timely identification of lethal exsanguination remains challenging. This...
- 16From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Hematology patients admitted to the ICU frequently experience respiratory failure and require mechanical ventilation. Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) may decrease the risk of intubation, but...
- 17From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Hyperlactatemia represents one prominent component of the metabolic response to sepsis. In critically ill patients, hyperlactatemia is related to the severity of the underlying condition. Both an...
- 18From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Diagnosis of severe influenza pneumonia remains challenging because of a lack of correlation between the presence of influenza virus and clinical status. We conducted gene-expression profiling in the...
- 19From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Diabetic patients may develop acute lung injury less often than non-diabetics; a fact that could be partially ascribed to the usage of antidiabetic drugs, including metformin. Metformin exhibits...
- 20From: Critical Care. (Vol. 16, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Liver failure patients might be at risk for citrate accumulation during continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD) with regional citrate anticoagulation. The aim of this study was to investigate the...
