<h3>Importance</h3> End-of-life decisions occur daily in intensive care units (ICUs) around the world, and these practices could change over time. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine changes end-of-life European ICUs after 16 years. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> Ethicus-2 was a prospective observational study of 22 previously included Ethicus-1 (1999-2000). During self-selected continuous 6-month period at each ICU, consecutive patients who died or had any limitation life-sustaining...
Coronavirus disease 2019 patients are currently overwhelming the world's healthcare systems. This article provides practical guidance to front-line physicians forced make critical rationing decisions.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has prompted expanded use of prone positioning for refractory hypoxemia. Clinical trials have demonstrated beneficial effects early acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), including decreased mortality. However, pregnant women were excluded from these trials. To address the need low-cost, low-harm interventions in face a widespread viral wherein hypoxemia predominates, we developed an algorithm both intubated and nonintubated women. This...
To investigate the prognostic value of Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation-Specific Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI) in patients who received transplantation admitted to intensive care unit (ICU).We investigated association HCT-CI with inpatient mortality and overall survival (OS) among 377 were ICU within 100 days allogeneic stem-cell (ASCT) at our institution. scores collapsed into four groups evaluated univariate multivariate analyses using logistic regression Cox proportional hazards models.The...
To describe short-term outcomes and independent predictors of 28-dayx mortality in adult patients with hematologic malignancies septic shock defined by the new Third International Consensus Definitions (Sepsis-3) criteria.We performed a retrospective cohort study admitted to medical ICU from April 2016 March 2019. Demographic clinical features were collected. We used descriptive statistics summarize patient characteristics, logistic regression identify 28-day mortality, Kaplan-Meier plots...
Catheters coated with minocycline and rifampin are proven to decrease the rates of central line-associated bloodstream infection; however, it is unclear whether success occurs independent other infection control precautions. We evaluated effect catheters without precautions on our in critically ill patients antibiotic resistance throughout hospital intensive care unit.Retrospective clinical cohort study conducted during 1999-2006 an observational laboratory component.A tertiary...
To investigate ICU utilization and hospital outcomes of oncological patients admitted to a comprehensive cancer center.Observational cohort study.The University Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.Consecutive adults with discharged over 20-year period.None.The Cochran-Armitage test for trend was used evaluate mortality rates by primary service time. A negative binomial log linear regression model fitted the data length stay Among 387,306 adult hospitalized patients, rate 12.9%. The overall 3.6%:...
Resistant Gram-negative bacteria are increasing central-line-associated bloodstream infection threats. To better combat this, chlorhexidine (CHX) was added to minocycline-rifampin (M/R) catheters. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of CHX-M/R catheters against multidrug resistant, Acinetobacter baumannii, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia tested. M/R CHX-silver sulfadiazine (CHX/SS) were used as...
