Abstract Introduction Capillary leak in critically ill patients leads to interstitial edema. Fluid overload is independently associated with poor prognosis. Bedside measurement of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), fluid balance, and capillary (CLI) may provide a valuable prognostic tool mechanically ventilated patients. Methods We performed an observational study 123 extended hemodynamic monitoring, analyzing process-of-care variables for the first week...
Abstract Introduction Liver failure patients might be at risk for citrate accumulation during continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD) with regional anticoagulation. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive capability baseline liver function parameters regarding accumulation, expressed as an increase in calcium total/calcium ionized (Ca tot /Ca ion ) ratio ≥2.5, and describe feasibility CVVHD patients. Methods We conducted a prospective observational medical ICU treated...
Background Superinfections, including invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), are well-known complications of critically ill patients with severe viral pneumonia. Aim this study was to evaluate the incidence, risk factors and outcome IPA in COVID-19 Methods We prospectively screened 32 pneumonia for a time period 28 days using standardized protocol oberservation developement associated (CAPA). collected laboratory, microbiological, virological clinical parameters at defined timepoints...
The evolving dynamics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the increasing infection numbers require diagnostic tools to identify patients at high risk for a severe course. Here we evaluate clinical imaging parameters estimating need intensive care unit (ICU) treatment. We collected clinical, laboratory data from 65 with confirmed COVID-19 based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. Two radiologists evaluated severity findings in computed tomography (CT) images scale 1 (no...

Objective: Volume depletion and/or increased hematocrit are associated with poor prognosis in necrotizing pancreatitis. Several studies suggest that intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBI) might be superior to central venous pressure (CVP) regard preload assessment. Therefore, the aim of our study was evaluate predictive value CVP and ITBI, correlate these parameters cardiac (CI). Design: Prospective study. Setting: Medical intensive care unit, university hospital. Patients Interventions:...
Abstract Introduction Achievement of a negative fluid balance in patients with capillary leak is associated improved outcome. We investigated the effects multi-modal restrictive strategy aiming for acute lung injury (ALI). Methods In this retrospective matched case-control study, we included 114 mechanically ventilated (MV) ALI. compared outcomes between group 57 receiving PAL-treatment (PAL group) and control group, abstracted from historical cohort. combines high levels positive...
Abstract Introduction Circulatory dysfunction in cirrhotic patients may cause a specific kind of functional renal failure termed hepato-renal syndrome (HRS). It contributes to the high incidence intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Fluid therapy aggravate by increasing ascites and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). This study investigates short-term effects paracentesis on haemodynamics kidney function volume resuscitated with HRS. Methods Nineteen consecutive HRS were studied. parameters...
Purpose: To prospectively compare the protective effect of acetylcysteine, theophylline, and both agents combined in patients who are admitted to intensive care unit with at least one risk factor for contrast material–induced nephropathy receive 100 mL iodinated medium. Materials Methods: Institutional ethics review board approval informed consent were obtained. A total 91 (mean age, 58.5 years ± 14.8 [standard deviation]; 31 women, 60 men; 150 examinations) contrast-induced received either...
<b>Introduction:</b> Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring provides a non-invasive measure of the level sedation. The purpose this randomized, single-blind clinical trial was to evaluate whether BIS sedation would lead improved oxygenation and reduced rate cardiopulmonary complications during endoscopy. <b>Patients methods: </b>Patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) under procedural with combination low dose midazolam propofol were randomly assigned either...
