Sedation overuse is frequent and possibly associated with poor outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients. However, association of early oversedation clinical has not been thoroughly evaluated. The aim this study was to assess sedation strategies critically ill adult patients under mechanical ventilation (MV). A secondary analysis a multicenter prospective cohort conducted 45 Brazilian ICUs, including requiring ventilatory support first 48 hours ICU admissions, performed. depth...

Sepsis is a major cause of mortality among critically ill patients with cancer. Information about clinical outcomes and factors associated increased risk death in these necessary to help physicians recognize those who are most likely benefit from ICU therapy identify possible targets for intervention.In this study, we evaluated cancer sepsis chosen multicenter prospective study characterize their characteristics independent hospital mortality.Subgroup analysis cohort conducted 28 Brazilian...
Abstract Background To characterize and identify prognostic factors for 28-day mortality among patients with hospital-acquired fungemia (HAF) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods A sub-analysis of a prospective, multicenter non-representative cohort study conducted 162 ICUs 24 countries. Results Of 1156 bloodstream infections (HA-BSI) included EUROBACT study, 96 had HAF. Median time to its diagnosis was 20 days (IQR 10.5–30.5) 9 3–15.5) after hospital ICU admission, respectively....
The purpose of our study was to describe the clinical profile dengue-infected patients admitted Brazilian intensive care units (ICU) and evaluate factors associated with death. A longitudinal, multicenter case series conducted laboratory-confirmed dengue nine ICUs situated in Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil from January 1, 2008, December 31, 2013. Demographic, laboratory data; disease severity scores; mortality were evaluated. total 97 studied. in-ICU in-hospital rates 18.6% 19.6%,...
BackgroundGeoeconomic variations in epidemiology, the practice of ventilation, and outcome invasively ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients without acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remain unexplored. In this analysis we aim to address these gaps using individual patient data four large observational studies.MethodsIn pooled harmonised from ERICC, LUNG SAFE, PRoVENT, PRoVENT-iMiC prospective studies, which were conducted June, 2011, December, 2018, 534 ICUs 54 countries. We...
Recent studies have indicated that protective lung strategies may improve outcomes in acute injury. We hypothesized the use of a lower tidal volume early during septic shock protect against subsequent development Fourteen fasted, anesthetized, invasively monitored, mechanically ventilated, female sheep (26.4 ± 4.5 kg) underwent cecal ligation and perforation to induce sepsis. Sheep were then randomized ventilation with low (6 mL/kg) or high (12 volumes. A positive end-expiratory pressure 10...
A morte encefálica induz várias alterações fisiopatológicas que podem causar lesões em rins, pulmões, coração e fígado.

To describe the characteristics and determinants of outcome hospital-acquired bloodstream infection (HA-BSI) due to respiratory among patients admitted intensive care units (ICUs). We performed a post hoc analysis EUROBACT multicenter cohort study, conducted in 162 ICUs 24 countries. The HA-BSIs candidemia from mixed nonrespiratory sources were excluded. From overall 1156 included EUROBACT, 230 classified as having HA-BSI infections (HA-BSI requiring ICU admission, n=40; ICU-acquired...
Knowing the short-term prognostic factors of critically ill HIV patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in era combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is important for adoption preventive measures and more effective treatment. To identify most significant common that determine mortality, a systematic review relevant literature was carried out. Method: An internet search conducted three databases indexing scientific articles (PubMed, Scopus, Web Science) studies investigating...
Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common type of neoplasm in men and fourth leading cause mortality Brazil. The prostate refractory metastatic castration can be treated with abiraterone acetate (AA).Its use has been associated increased survival. However, there are also side effects this drug, such as severe electrolyte disturbances.The objective to report clinical case a patient castration-resistant who developed ascending flaccid paralysis secondary hypokalemia, probably due...
