The treatment of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bloodstream infections (BSI) remains challenging due to the organism's intrinsic multidrug resistance and potential side effects commonly used first-line antibiotics. Here, we describe four cases S. BSI treated with cefiderocol (≥ 72 h) in different Italian hospitals. Additionally, conducted a PubMed search identify other studies reporting managed cefiderocol. We reviewed total 8 [median age 52.5 years (Q1–Q3 27.5–61.0), 50% males] cefiderocol,...
Abstract Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa bloodstream infections (Pa-BSIs) are still a major cause of mortality in ICUs, posing many treatment uncertainties. Methods This multicentre, retrospective study analysed data from 14 Italian hospitals, including all consecutive adults developing Pa-BSI ICU during 2021–22 and treated with antibiotics for at least 48 h. The primary aim was to identify predictors 30 day using Cox regression. Results were adjusted inverse probability weighting (IPTW)...
The aim of our study is to test procalcitonin (PCT) as surrogate marker identification Candida spp. by blood culture (BC) and real-time-polymerase chain reaction (PCR), whether alone or in association with bacteria, septic patients. We performed a single-centre retrospective study. reviewed the clinical charts patients diagnosis severe sepsis shock treated at general intensive care unit from March 2009 2013. analysed all diagnostic episodes consisting BC, real-time PCR assay dosage PCT....
Abstract Aconitine intoxication by ingestion of Aconitum roots can lead to ventricular tachycardia and cardiac arrest provides an example the potential effect self‐medication. Educational campaigns should be implemented contain acute intoxications caused herbal‐derived products.
Abstract We performed a bench (BS) and human (HS) study to test the hypothesis that estimation of tidal volume (V T ) during noninvasive helmet pressure support ventilation (nHPSV) would be possible using turbine driven ventilator (TDV) coupled with an intentional leak single-limb vented circuit. During BS mannequin was connected lung simulator (LS) at different conditions respiratory mechanics, positive end expiratory (PEEP) levels leaks (30, 50 80 L/min). All differences were within 95%...
Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) therapy in patients undergoing rapid sequence intubation (RSI) for emergency abdominal surgery.Methods: HFNO 60 L.min -1 at an inspiratory fraction 1 was delivered 4 min before laryngoscopy maintained until patient intubated, correct verified by appearance end-tidal CO 2 (EtCO ) waveform.Transcutaneous oxygenation (SpO ), heart rate non-invasive mean arterial pressure were monitored baseline (T0), after on (T1)...
Key Clinical Message Taravana syndrome is a rare dysbaric disease characterized by neurologic signs and symptoms. Differently from others decompression illness, it has unspecified pathophysiology unclear predisposing factors. Our cases suggest that thrombophilic state due to hyperhomocysteinemia could increase the risk develop syndrome.
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the relationship, precision, and bias a propofol target‐controlled infusion (TCI) system during prolonged in neurosurgical patients. We retrospectively included patients undergoing general anesthesia for elective removal brain tumors postoperative sedation intensive care unit over period 3 months. TCI (Diprifusor – Marsh model) remifentanil were used sedation. compared blood concentration (C meas ) measured by liquid chromatography–mass...
e would like to thanks Hill et al for his nice article on the "CON-TRA" of use noninvasive ventilation (NIV) acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (1, 2).Hill al. underlined that, in patients, only one earlier study suggested that NIV might be more successfully used if limited a selected sub-population (3).In addition, sub-analysis LUNG SAFE (4) showed mortality rate patients with P O 2 /F I <150 was actually greater treated than those invasive mechanical ventilation.It is important...
