Lung ultrasound can be used as an alternative to chest radiography (CXR) for the diagnosis and follow-up of various lung diseases in intensive care unit (ICU). Our aim was evaluate influence that introducing a routine daily use critically ill patients may have on number CXRs consequence, medical costs radiation exposure.Data were collected by conducting retrospective evaluation records adult who needed thoracic imaging admitted our academic polyvalent ICU. We compared relative before after...
<h3>Importance</h3> Full-thickness tracheal lesions and tracheoesophageal fistulas are severe complications of invasive mechanical ventilation. The incidence in ventilated patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate whether COVID-19 have a higher full-thickness than matched controls to investigate potential mechanisms. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This retrospective cohort study admitted the intensive care unit tertiary referral...
Abstract Background Iron metabolism and immune response to SARS-CoV-2 have not been described yet in intensive care patients, although they are likely involved Covid-19 pathogenesis. Methods We performed an observational study during the peak of pandemic our unit, dosing D-dimer, C-reactive protein, troponin T, lactate dehydrogenase, ferritin, serum iron, transferrin, transferrin saturation, soluble receptor, lymphocyte count NK, CD3, CD4, CD8 B subgroups 31 patients first 2 weeks their ICU...
Abstract Background Intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) are common and severe surgical emergencies associated with high morbidity mortality. In recent years, there has been a worldwide increase in antimicrobial resistance intra-abdominal infections, responsible for significant mortality rates. To improve the quality of treatment, it is crucial to understand underlying local epidemiology, clinical implications, proper management resistance, both community- hospital-acquired infections. The IRIS...
The normal lung ultrasound (US) pattern during a regular pregnancy has not been evaluated extensively in the current literature. Pregnancy-related changes respiratory tract affect maternal predisposition to several complications; consequently, it is important differentiate between physiologic and pathologic pattern, due failure. goal of our study was assess US women without known comorbidities last weeks pregnancy.We conducted prospective cross-sectional observational pilot study. Chest wall...
In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is a major public health problem with significant mortality. Rapid cardiopulmonary resuscitation and early defibrillation extremely connected to patient outcome. In this study, we aimed assess the effects of basic life support course in improving knowledge IHCA management.We performed prospective observational study recruiting healthcare personnel working at Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Pisana, Pisa, Italy. Study consisted administration two...
Abstract This was a single-center, observational, prospective study designed to compare the effectiveness of real-time, ultrasound- with landmark-guided technique for subclavian vein cannulation. Two groups 74 consecutive patients each underwent catheterization. One group included from intensive care unit, studied by using an ultrasound-guided technique. The other surgery or emergency units, landmark primary outcome comparison between techniques success rate Secondary outcomes were number...
The negative effect of sepsis on the myocardium affects its electric functionality. This study aims to evaluate incidence atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with septic shock, and mortality rate AF versus that maintained sinus rhythm (SR).This is a one-year observational prospective pilot study. It was conducted at Department Anaesthesia Intensive Care Pisa University. Patients shock were enrolled this They divided two groups based occurrence while ICU. Data collected admission after 72...
The on-going COVID-19 pandemic may cause the collapse of healthcare systems because unprecedented hospitalization rates.A total 8.2 individuals per 1000 inhabitants have been diagnosed with in our province. hospital predisposed 110 beds for patients: on day local peak, 90% them were occupied and intensive care unit (ICU) faced admission rates, fearing system collapse.Instead increasing number ICU beds, creation a step-down (SDU) close to was preferred: aim safely improve transfer patients...
Muscle wasting begins as soon in the first week of one’s ICU stay and patients with multi-organ failure lose more muscle mass suffer worse functional impairment a consequence. weakness are mainly characterized by generalized, bilateral lower limb weakness. However, respiratory and/or oropharyngeal muscles can also be observed important consequences for ability to swallow cough. represents result disequilibrium between breakdown synthesis, increased protein degradation relative synthesis. It...
Background: We estimated the diagnostic accuracy of urinary NGAL for diagnosis AKI. Methods: Urinary and Creatinine were measured daily up to 3 days. Doppler ultrasonography was performed within 24 h admission following Results: Of 21 patients, 44% had AKI during their ICU stay. The group presented with higher values serum Creatinine, renal length, MDRD as well SAPS II already at admission. significantly among patients AKI-no T0 (p < 0.0001) increased steadily on T1 T2. seemed be a...
Abstract Introduction Percutaneous tracheostomy (PT) in the intensive care unit (ICU) is a well-established practice that shows reduced risk of wound infection compared with surgical tracheostomy, thus facilitating mechanical ventilation, nursing procedures, reduction sedation and early mobilization. Objective This an observational case-control study compares results PT ICU patients coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) prospectively enrolled to similar group subjects, retrospectively...
Intraoperative dexmedetomidine can be useful for its sedative and analgesic sparing effects, the prevention of emergence delirium. Conversely, it cause hypotension bradycardia. The aim this study was to assess safety efficacy in pediatric anesthesia.
Reliability and reproducibility of a new automatic ambulatory blood pressure recorder were tested on 31 subjects (18 normotensives 13 hypertensives). Of 3688 recordings, 1424 measurements cross-checked with sphygmomanom eter in standing or sitting position at the beginning end twenty-four hour monitoring period. In normotensive cross-checkings performed also during treadmill exercise stress test. Analysis variance did not indicate statistical differences between two types measurement...
