Prophylaxis for gastrointestinal stress ulceration is frequently given to patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), but its risks and benefits are unclear.In this European, multicenter, parallel-group, blinded trial, we randomly assigned adults who had been admitted ICU an acute condition (i.e., unplanned admission) were at risk bleeding receive 40 mg of intravenous pantoprazole (a proton-pump inhibitor) or placebo daily during stay. The primary outcome was death by 90 days after...
Abstract Background Delirium is the most common cerebral dysfunction in intensive care unit (ICU) and can be subdivided into a hypoactive, hyperactive, or mixed motor subtype based on clinical manifestation. The aim of this review was to describe distribution, pharmacological interventions, outcomes delirium subtypes ICU patients. Methods This systematic scoping performed according PRISMA-ScR Cochrane guidelines. We search six major databases identify relevant studies. A meta-regression...
Delirium is a serious condition often experienced by critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs). The role of circadian light for this unclear. aim study was to describe incidence delirium, risk factors and the association between delirium ICU.This retrospective cohort all at Danish ICU from 1 August 2015 31 January 2016. Exclusion criteria were heavy sedation, no Confusion Assessment Method (CAM-ICU) scores, or inability communicate Danish. defined as least one positive CAM-ICU...
Studies have shown impaired cognitive function after ICU discharge. We aimed to describe long-term in Danish patients.Prospective cohort study.Single-center at Zealand University Hospital, Køge, Denmark.Adult patients admitted for over 24 hours.Three and 12 months discharge, the were visited home tested with Repeatable Battery Assessment of Neuropsychological Status.We included 161 patients, 79 had a 3-month 53 12-month follow-up visit. The primary reasons not being death (44 patients),...
Background Rehabilitation efforts after treatment in the intensive care unit ( ICU ) are termed aftercare. It includes both early in‐hospital follow‐up ‐discharge and late hospital discharge. This study aims to investigate current ‐aftercare activities Denmark.

BackgroundWe aimed to see if a novel credit card size cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) feedback device helped improve the quality of chest compressions by lay participants compared done without feedback. Materials and methodsThis study had non-healthcare workers aged 25 -70 years old randomized into either real-time group that got CPRcard, which provided for both compression rate depth, or no group.Participants in control (no feedback) used blinded CPRcard performed CPRcard....
Background Impaired physical function after intensive care unit (ICU) stay is common. We aimed to study the association between activity levels in ward discharge from ICU and at 3‐month follow‐up. Methods Prospective cohort of adult patients admitted for more than 24 hours. Patients wore an accelerometer up 7 days ward. At follow‐up, were tested with Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool (CPAx). Results screened 66 consecutive, eligible patients; 41 completed actigraphy 19 visited 3...
Critical illness is often followed by mental and physical impairments. We aimed to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL), symptoms anxiety depression, function in critically ill patients after discharge from intensive care unit.For this prospective cohort study we included all available adult admitted ICU for >24 h during a 12-month period. Home visits took place at 3 12 months hospital Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale, Chelsea Care Assessment...
Sleep and circadian disturbances play a major role in recovery after critical illness. Ample research has shown sleep to be disturbed during the stay at intensive care unit (ICU); however, trajectory of ICU discharge is sparsely described. The current study aimed describe development sleep-wake rhythm subjects discharged from hospital ward.Following general ward, participants were monitored with an ActiGraph for assessment 7 days or until death. Data analysed day-to-day change t-tests whole...
