- 1From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue Suppl 1) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Karsten Bartels1, Robert H Thiele2 and Tong J Gan1 Correction Our recently published review article [1] contained a misprint. On page four under the sub-heading 'Goal-directed fluid therapy' and in the...
- 2From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Hyperglycemia and insulin resistance are commonplace in critical illness, especially in patients with sepsis. Recently, several hormones secreted by adipose tissue have been determined to be involved in...
- 3From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction There are limited long-term follow-up data on functional changes in the myocardium after high-voltage electrical injury (HVEI). Methods Twenty-three patients who had been exposed to HVEI (>20,000...
- 4From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Intestinal ischemia is a critical problem resulting in multiple organ failure and high mortality of 60 to 80%. Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common complication after intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)...
- 5From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue Suppl 1) Peer-ReviewedThe first ICUs were established in the late 1950s and the specialty of critical care medicine began to develop. Since those early days, huge improvements have been made in terms of technological advances and...
- 6From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Health care-associated pneumonia (HCAP) has been proposed as a new category of respiratory infection to identify patients at risk of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens. The American Thoracic Society's...
- 7From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Improved methods to optimize drug dosing in the critically ill are urgently needed. Traditional prescribing culture involves recognition of factors that mandate dose reduction (such as renal impairment),...
- 8From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Due to complexities in its measurement, adequacy of ventilation is seldom used to categorize disease severity and guide ventilatory strategies. Ventilatory ratio (VR) is a novel index to monitor...
- 9From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue Suppl 1) Peer-ReviewedCritical care is a very recent advance in the history of human evolution. Prior to the existence of ICU care, when the saber-tooth tiger attacked you had but a few critical hours to recover or you died. Mother Nature,...
- 10From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) requiring intensive care unit (ICU) treatment commonly causes acute respiratory failure with high mortality. Kallistatin, an endogenous tissue kallikrein inhibitor, has...
- 11From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction In ICUs, both fluid overload and oliguria are common complications associated with increased mortality among critically ill patients, particularly in acute kidney injury (AKI). Although fluid overload is...
- 12From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Excessive sympathoadrenal activation in critical illness contributes directly to organ damage, and high concentrations of catecholamines damage the vascular endothelium. This study investigated...
- 13From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue Suppl 1) Peer-ReviewedAssessment and monitoring of hemodynamics is a cornerstone in critically ill patients as hemodynamic alteration may become life-threatening in a few minutes. Defining normal values in critically ill patients is not...
- 14From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue Suppl 1) Peer-ReviewedThe ability to compensate for life-threatening failure of respiratory function is perhaps the signature technology of intensive care medicine. Unchanging needs for providing effective life-support with minimized risk...
- 15From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue Suppl 1) Peer-ReviewedThe future of critical care medicine will be shaped not only by the evidence-validated foundations of science, but also by innovations based on unproven and, in many cases, untested concepts and thoughtful visions of...
- 16From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Research on co-enrollment practices and their impact are limited in the ICU setting. The objectives of this study were: 1) to describe patterns and predictors of co-enrollment of patients in a...
- 17From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue Suppl 1) Peer-ReviewedCurrent hemodynamic monitoring of critically ill patients is mainly focused on monitoring of pressure-derived hemodynamic variables related to systemic circulation. Increasingly, oxygen transport pathways and indicators...
- 18From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue Suppl 1) Peer-ReviewedThe greatest advances in critical care over the past two decades have been achieved through doing less to the patient. We have learnt through salutary experience that our burgeoning Master-of-the-Universe capabilities...
- 19From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Small-study effects refer to the fact that trials with limited sample sizes are more likely to report larger beneficial effects than large trials. However, this has never been investigated in critical...
- 20From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Critically ill cirrhosis patients awaiting liver transplantation (LT) often receive prioritization for organ allocation. Identification of patients most likely to benefit is essential. The purpose of...
