- 1From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedAnalysis of Chinese ICU staffing in relation to final outcome yields comparable results as those reported in Western ICUs. This underlines the general principle that we would all like to apply in our hospitals; that is,...
- 2From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedHemodynamic management of critically ill patients in the ICU or high-risk patients in the operating room has paradoxically shown progress in terms of outcome after the systematic application of volume responsiveness/flow...
- 3From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Mortality from dengue infection is mostly due to shock. Among dengue patients with shock, approximately 30% have recurrent shock that requires a treatment change. Here, we report development of a...
- 4From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Selective decontamination of the digestive tract (SDD) is a prophylactic antibiotic regimen that is not widely used in practice. We aimed to describe the opinions of key 'stakeholders' about the validity...
- 5From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction The role of systemic hemodynamics in the pathogenesis of septic acute kidney injury (AKI) has received little attention. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between systemic...
- 6From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Several guidelines recommend initial empirical treatment with two antibiotics instead of one to decrease mortality in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) requiring intensive-care-unit (ICU) admission. We...
- 7From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Plasma levels of cell-free hemoglobin are associated with mortality in patients with sepsis; however descriptions of independent associations with free hemoglobin and free heme scavengers, haptoglobin...
- 8From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction There is a hyperoxidative state in sepsis. The objective of this study was to determine serum malondialdehyde (MDA) levels during the first week of follow up, whether such levels are associated with...
- 9From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Abdominal distension is common in critical illness. There is a growing recognition that intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) may complicate nonsurgical critical illness as well as after abdominal surgery....
- 10From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Upper airway obstruction (UAO) is a major problem in unconscious subjects, making full face mask ventilation difficult. The mechanism of UAO in unconscious subjects shares many similarities with that of...
- 11From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is one of leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Several predictive models have been developed for ICH; however, none of them have been...
- 12From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Blood acidification by lactic acid infusion converts bicarbonate to CO.sub.2. This effect can be exploited to increase the transmembrane PCO.sub.2 gradient of an extracorporeal membrane lung, resulting...
- 13From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Endotracheal suctioning (ETS) is essential for patient care in an ICU but may represent a cause of cerebral secondary injury. Ketamine has been historically contraindicated for its use in head injury...
- 14From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction As emergency medical services (EMS) personnel in Japan are not allowed to perform termination of resuscitation in the field, most patients experiencing an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are...
- 15From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction To test the hypothesis that the administration of antithrombin concentrate improves disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), resulting in recovery from DIC and better outcomes in patients with...
- 16From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (Pv-aCO.sub.2) may reflect the adequacy of blood flow during shock states. We sought to test whether the development of Pv-aCO.sub.2 during the very early...
- 17From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction In some studies including small populations of patients undergoing specific surgery, an intraoperative liberal infusion of fluids was associated with increasing morbidity when compared to restrictive...
- 18From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction A potential independent association was recently demonstrated between high red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and the risk of all-cause mortality in critically ill patients, although the mechanism...
- 19From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is reportedly useful for post-cardiac surgery acute kidney injury (AKI). Although chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a strong risk factor for AKI...
- 20From: Critical Care. (Vol. 17, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction The prognostic impact of acute kidney injury (AKI) on long-term clinical outcomes remains controversial. We examined the five-year risk of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke after elective cardiac...
