Linezolid standard dosing is fixed at 600 mg every 12 h (q12h) for adults. Literature suggests critically ill, obese patients require higher doses.
The response of ICU patients to continuously infused ketamine when it is used for analgesia and/or sedation remains poorly established.To describe continuous infusion (CI) use in critically ill patients, including indications, dose and duration, adverse effects, patient outcomes, time goal pain/sedation score range, exposure analgesics/sedatives, delirium.Multicenter, retrospective, observational study from twenty-five diverse institutions the United States. Patients receiving CI between...
Enoxaparin is standard of care for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in adult trauma patients, but fixed-dose protocols are suboptimal. Dosing based on body mass index (BMI) or total weight (TBW) improves target prophylactic anti-Xa level attainment and reduces VTE rates. A novel strategy using estimated blood volume (EBV) may be more effective results a single-center study. This study compared BMI-, TBW-, EBV-based, hybrid enoxaparin dosing strategies at achieving anti-Factor Xa...
Describe continuous infusion (CI) ketamine practices in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) and evaluate its effect on pain/sedation scores, exposure to analgesics/sedatives, adverse effects (AEs).

Introduction: The administration of inhaled epoprostenol (IE) has been shown to reduce pulmonary artery pressure and improve right ventricular dysfunction without causing systemic hypotension in perioperative settings. A guideline for use IE management hypertension (PH) was implemented 2010. It developed serve as an educational tool provide the appropriate indications, administration, management, monitoring physicians, pharmacists, nurses, respiratory therapists. indications patients who...
Introduction: Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is used to decrease neurologic injury in patients with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest. Two landmark studies 2002 found that outcomes and mortality were improved TH out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless tachycardia (VT) arrests; additionally, there some evidence supporting effectiveness in-hospital, electrical activity (PEA) asystolic arrests. Based on this, the 2010 American Heart Association...
Introduction: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a public health crisis in the United States. Hospitalization an opportunity for initiation of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) patients with OUD, including buprenorphine. Due to its properties as partial agonist, buprenorphine can precipitate withdrawal, particularly those who remained on full opioid agonist. A growing data suggested low-dose induction—administration small incremental doses over first several days therapeutic dose...

Abstract Background Linezolid is an oxazolidinone antibiotic with broad activity against Gram-positive bacteria and serves as option for treating severe skin soft-tissue infections (SSTIs). Adult FDA-labeled dosing fixed at 600 mg IV/PO twice daily. Although conflicting, current literature suggestive that critically ill, obese patients require increased doses. Based on this literature, our institutional guidelines recommend linezolid every 8 hours ≥150 kg. This study aimed to determine...

Introduction: Rates of substance use are high among critically ill trauma patients, and data regarding sedation analgesia requirements conflicting. The purpose this study is to compare sedative medication mechanically ventilated patients with or without a history (HOSU) within the first seven days intensive care unit (ICU) admission. We hypothesize that HOSU requires more medications control behavior than those HOSU. Methods: This retrospective cohort included adult if they were receiving...
