Objectives: The objectives of this study were to 1) assess patterns early crystalloid resuscitation provided sepsis and septic shock patients at initial presentation 2) determine the association between time with hospital mortality, mechanical ventilation, ICU utilization, length stay. Design: Consecutive-sample observational cohort. Setting: Nine tertiary community hospitals over 1.5 years. Patients: Adult captured in a prospective quality improvement database inclusion criteria: suspected...
Objective The study aims to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who developed pneumothorax. Design setting A retrospective chart review was performed electronic medical record. Patients were included if they identified as having confirmed well pneumothorax from March 16, 2020 May 31, 2020. Patients' demographic characteristics, mechanical ventilator parameters, lung compliance measurements during...
Red blood cell exchange (RBCE) is the standard of care for patients with sickle disease (SCD) who present severe vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC). However, subsets these critically ill have progressive multiorgan failure (MOF) despite RBCE therapy. The purpose this case series to describe use plasma (PLEX) treatment SCD-related MOF that refractory RBCE.A retrospective review from unresponsive underwent PLEX in a 14-bed adult medical intensive unit (ICU) at tertiary university hospital over 4-year...
In March of 2020 as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread rapidly throughout New York, hospitals and ICU capacities were quickly overwhelmed. Our health-system, located in the York metropolitan area, treated >17,000 patients who hospitalized with COVID-19, which approximately 3,000 required mechanical ventilation. Based on our experience, we provide a breakdown considerations during surge planning. Due to sudden need for large number ventilators, many received through Federal Emergency...
To describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who developed pneumatosis intestinalis (PI).This case series was conducted in intensive care units at two large tertiary centers within Northwell Health System, located New York State. Patients were included if they identified as having confirmed COVID-19 well from March 16, 2020 to July 31, 2020. Patient demographics, characteristics, vasopressor use, anticoagulation opiate paralytic...
The optimal blood pressure (BP) management in critically ill patients with neurological emergencies the intensive care unit poses several challenges.Both over and under correction of are associated increased morbidity mortality this population.Target pressures therapeutic based on guidelines including those from American Stroke Association Joint National Committee guidelines.We review these recommendations current concepts emergencies.A variety agents nicardipine, labetalol, nitroprusside...
Despite the importance of transfusion in treating sickle cell disease acute chest syndrome, target hemoglobin and optimal modality for remain unknown.To compare hospital length stay (LOS) intensive care unit (ICU) patients with syndrome transfused to ≥ 8 g/dL versus < g/dL; LOS treated without exchange transfusion.We performed a retrospective cohort study all medical ICU at 2 tertiary hospitals between January 2011 August 2016 (n = 82). We compared median by time transfer floor as well who...
Predicting the severity of acute chest syndrome is an important research priority in sickle cell disease. In this retrospective study patients with syndrome, enlarged pulmonary artery on computed tomography was associated severe respiratory failure defined by need for either noninvasive or mechanical ventilation.
