Previously active in the mid-1990s, Canadian Airway Focus Group (CAFG) studied unanticipated difficult airway and made recommendations on management a 1998 publication. The CAFG has since reconvened to examine more recent scientific literature management. Group's mandate for this article was arrive at updated practice of unconscious/induced patient whom or failed tracheal intubation is encountered.Nineteen clinicians with backgrounds anesthesia, emergency medicine, intensive care joined...
Appropriate planning is crucial to avoid morbidity and mortality when difficulty anticipated with airway management. Many guidelines developed by national societies have focused on management of encountered in the unconscious patient; however, little guidance appears literature how best approach patient an difficult airway. To review this other subjects, Canadian Airway Focus Group (CAFG) was re-formed. With representation from anesthesiology, emergency medicine, critical care, CAFG members...
Abstract Studies on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 1 (SARS-CoV-1) suggest a protective effect of anti-A antibodies against viral cell entry that may hold relevance for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Therefore, we aimed to determine whether ABO blood groups are associated with different severities COVID-19. We conducted multicenter retrospective analysis and nested prospective observational substudy critically ill patients collected data pertaining age, sex, comorbidities, dates symptom...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Pandemic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is associated with high intensive care unit (ICU) mortality. We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of critically ill patients disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a Canadian setting. <h3>METHODS:</h3> conducted retrospective case series laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection consecutively admitted 1 6 ICUs Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, between Feb. 21 Apr. 14, 2020....
Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with increased perioperative morbidity and mortality in a variety of surgical settings, but has not been well studied after lung resection surgery. In the present study, we defined incidence postoperative AKI, identified risk factors, clarified relationship between AKI outcome patients undergoing surgery.A retrospective, observational study who underwent surgery January 2006 March 2010 tertiary care academic center was conducted....
In patients at risk of hypoxic ischemic brain injury following cardiac arrest, we sought to: 1) characterize oxygenation and determine the prevalence hypoxia, 2) autoregulation using pressure reactivity index identify optimal mean arterial pressure, 3) assess relationship between tissue oxygenation.Prospective interventional study.Quaternary ICU.Adult with return spontaneous circulation greater than 10 minutes a postresuscitation Glasgow Coma Scale score under 9 within 72 hours arrest.All...
The critical care management of traumatic brain injury focuses on preventing secondary ischemic injury. Cerebral oxygen delivery is dependent upon the cerebral perfusion pressure and content blood, which principally determined by hemoglobin. Despite its importance to delivery, precise hemoglobin concentration provide adequate injured neuronal tissue in TBI patients controversial with limited evidence transfusion thresholds.We conducted a retrospective cohort study severe patients,...
Patients with 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1pdm09)-related critical illness were frequently treated systemic corticosteroids. While observational studies have reported significant corticosteroid-associated mortality after adjusting for baseline differences in patients corticosteroids or not, remained a common treatment subsequent outbreaks, including avian A(H7N9). Our objective was to describe the use of these and investigate predictors steroid prescription clinical outcomes, both...
