Oxygenation index [OI = (MAP × FiO2 100)/PaO2] assesses the severity of hypoxic respiratory failure. Oxygen saturation [OSI 100)/SpO2] is a noninvasive method to Conventionally used PaO2/FiO2 (P/F) ratio measure ARDS requires arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling. It tenders limited prognostic information mandating need for better markers. (needs sampling) and OSI (a method) are substitutes provide mortality in patients. We evaluated correlation between P/F, OI, invasively ventilated COVID-19...
The contagious coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a significant psychological impact on healthcare workers. Intensive care unit (ICU) and emergency room (ER) providers have functioned in an environment of fear for their health as well family well-being.
<i>Background:</i> Patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) are considered to be at risk for complications associated flexible bronchoscopy (FB). Although previous reports suggest that transbronchial biopsies increase the hemorrhage in this population, data limited survey analyses and isolated reports. <i>Objectives:</i> It was aim of study describe our experience FB determine if bronchoscopic procedures adverse events population. <i>Methods:</i> We...
The classification of Berlin definition is based on the PaO
With the oxygen saturation index (OSI) being a noninvasive surrogate for (OI) and P/F ratio, examining correlation between PaO2/FiO2 (P/F ratio), OI, OSI in mechanically ventilated adults will benefit those settings where arterial blood gas monitoring is not readily accessible.Data were collected patients ≥18 years who under invasive (endotracheal intubation) mechanical ventilation at medical or surgical wards tertiary care hospital.After natural log transformation, correlations ratio OI (r...
Background: Short-term peripheral venous catheter–associated bloodstream infection rates have not been systematically studied in Asian countries, and data on infections incidence by number of short-term catheter days are available. Methods: Prospective, surveillance study conducted from 1 September 2013 to 31 May 2019 262 intensive care units, members the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium, 78 hospitals 32 cities 8 countries South-East Asia Region: China, India, Malaysia,...
Of the factors influencing severity and outcomes following coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), cellular immune response has a strong impact. The spectrum of varies from over-activation to hypo-functioning. severe infection leads reduction in numbers dysfunction T-lymphocytes/subsets.This retrospective, single-center study aimed analyze expression T-lymphocyte/subsets by flow cytometry inflammation-related biomarker, serum ferritin real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positive...
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are the second line of therapy in diabetes mellitus type 2. They frequently coprescribed with other noninsulin glucose-lowering medications. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) lower-than-anticipated glucose levels is an important SGLT2i-related adverse effect postoperative patients. This case highlights need for increased surveillance patients on this group Ketonuria was managed short-acting insulin infusion dextrose-containing intravenous fluid,...
Weaning from a mechanical ventilator is milestone in the recovery of seriously ill patients Intensive care. Failure to wean and re-intubation adversely affects outcome. The method ventilation (MV) varies between different ICUs so does practice weaning. Therefore, updated guidelines based on contemporary literature are designed guide intensivists modern ICUs. This first ISCCM Consensus Statement weaning complied by committee recommendations intended be used all members ICU (Intensivists,...

Objectives: Mortality is a common gauged endpoint in critically ill patients. Reduced quality of life an aligned repercussion protracted critical illness. Baseline status, severity illness and its trajectory influence the outcomes. Patient-oriented outcomes are those that matter most to patient. However, quite often, family approves trade-offs with survivorship Indian context. We looked at non-mortality patients on high-intensity life-sustaining interventions admitted intensive care unit...
Understanding a patient's clinical status and setting priorities for their care are two aspects of the constantly changing process decision-making. One analytical technique that can be helpful in uncertain situations is judgment. Clinicians must deal with contradictory information, lack time to make decisions, long-term factors when emergencies occur. To examine ethical issues healthcare professionals faced during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic affecting This pilot study, which...
A 68-year-old female patient who was treated with anti-viral, steroids and biologics for coronavirus disease- 19 (COVID- 19) infection presented to our facility following right abdominal flank pain since a week. Initially attributed pancreatitis sided pyelonephritis, it diagnosed as mucormycosis on KOH mount CT-guided renal biopsy. She underwent total nephrectomy Whipple's surgery followed by Isavuconazole liposomal Amphotericin B. This is rare presentation of gastrointestinal in without...
Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes pneumonia and lymphopenia.We investigated the predictive value of T-lymphocyte subset absolute counts for outcomes following disease-2019 (COVID-19)-associated failure (C-ARF).Patients methods: A retrospective chart review adult patients with C-ARF was undertaken from 23 March 2020 to 20 November 2021 obtain relevant data.Patients were divided into two groups based on survival.The subsets determined by flow...
High tracheostomy is defined as through the cricothyroid membrane. membrane procedure of choice for short-term emergent situations. However, its long-term use associated with severe complications. For technical reasons, it contraindicated in obese individuals. Here, we demonstrate sequelae a high inadvertently placed laryngeal cartilage morbidly individual.
Abstract Severe COVID 19 disease is associated with high morbidity and mortality limited therapeutic options. The role of glucocorticoids in treatment has been riddled controversy. study site using patients severe since the first few that were admitted. In initial cohort 7 disease, use methylprednisolone a dose 30 mg twice daily was rapid improvement oxygenation decline CRP levels. While six made complete clinical recovery, one patient died. There no secondary infections.
Study objective To analyze the incidence of complications following enoxaparin use in patients on hemodialysis.
Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has stood out as a disease of great medical interest, influencing evolution, and severity diabetes mellitus. The intersection COVID-19 infection mellitus unmasked inflammation critical metabolic disturbances. We deliberate the case young woman, with type 2 mellitus, who was hospitalized for infection. Work-up revealed diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) lower-than-anticipated glucose levels, acute acidosis. Refractoriness acidosis to standard treatment required...
