Background: Overburdened systems and concerns of adverse outcomes have resulted in deferred cancer surgeries with devastating consequences. In this COVID pandemic, the decision to continue elective surgeries, their subsequent outcomes, are sparsely reported from hotspots. Methods: A prospective database Department Surgical Oncology was analysed March 23rd April 30th, 2020. Findings: Four hundred ninety-four were performed (377 untested 117 tested for Covid 19 before surgery). Median age 48...
PurposeTo develop an ethical framework and practical procedure for limiting inappropriate therapeutic interventions to improve the quality of care dying in intensive unit through a professional consensus process. EvidenceSince publication last guideline 2005, [1] there has been exponential increase empirical information discussion on subject.The literature reviewed address key surveys, observational studies, randomized controlled interventional studies as well guidelines recommendations...
Abstract Background Optimal anti-bacterial activity of meropenem requires maintenance its plasma concentration (Cp) above the minimum inhibitory (MIC) pathogen for at least 40% dosing interval (fT > MIC 40). We aimed to determine whether a 3-h extended infusion (EI) achieves fT 40 on first and third days therapy in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. also simulated performance EI respect other pharmacokinetic (PK) targets such as 4 × 40, = 100, 100. Methods Arterial blood samples...

BackgroundSurgical site infections are a threat to patient safety. However, in India, data on their rates stratified by surgical procedure not available.
Health care workers (HCWs) are at risk of getting infected while work, for example, operating room (OR), hence it is pertinent that they don all the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize chance infected.A COVID-19 specific briefing and debriefing form was created used in OR along with World Organization surgical safety checklist reinforce use PPE. An audit subsequently done understand compliance PPE use, followed by a survey based on findings issues related...
We aimed to study organizational aspects, case mix, and practices in Indian intensive care units (ICUs) from 2018 2019, following the Intensive Care Case Mix Practice Patterns Study (INDICAPS) of 2010-2011.An observational, 4-day point prevalence was performed between 2019. ICU, patient characteristics, interventions were recorded for 24 hours, ICU outcomes till 30 days after day. Adherence selected compliance measures determined. Data analyzed 4,669 adult patients 132 ICUs.On day, mean age,...
This narrative review explores the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in haemodynamic monitoring, emphasising its potential to revolutionise patient care. The historical reliance on invasive procedures for assessments is contrasted with emerging non-invasive AI-driven approaches that address limitations and risks associated traditional methods.
