Fluid bolus therapy (FBT) is common in critically ill patients. With the exception of use patients with traumatic brain injury, FBT human albumin solution (HAS) appears safe and perhaps superior severe sepsis.To determine physiological effects 4% v 20% HAS.A retrospective observational study 202 receiving HAS a tertiary intensive care unit between April 2012 March 2013.FBT was instituted or HAS, according to clinician preference.We compared biochemical haemodynamic data groups at baseline 1,...
The primary objective was to non-invasively measure the cardiac index (CI) and associated haemodynamic parameters of healthy volunteers their changes with age. This a single centre, prospective, observational study aged between 20 59 years, using ClearSight™ (Edwards Life Sciences, Irvine, CA, USA) device. We recorded 514 observations in 97 participants. mean CI 3.5 l/min/m2 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 3.4 3.7 l/min/m2). stroke volume (SVI) 47 ml/m2 45 49 ml/m2) systemic vascular...

Avoiding hypoxaemia is considered crucial in cardiac surgery patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). However, avoiding hyperoxaemia may also be important. A conservative approach oxygen therapy reduce exposure without increasing risk of hypoxaemia. Using a before-and-after design, we evaluated introduction (target SpO2 88%-92% using lowest FiO2) for surgical ICU. We studied 9041 arterial blood gas (ABG) datasets: 4298 ABGs from 245 'conventional' and 4743 298 'conservative'...
Medication errors involving antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are not well studied but have the potential to cause significant harm. The authors investigated occurrence of medication incidents in Canadian hospitals that involve AEDs, their severity and contributing factors by analyzing data from two national databases.
