BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to evaluate the short‐term and long‐term outcomes adult patients with hematologic malignancies who received chemotherapy in intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS This a retrospective, single‐center comparing ICU matched cohort did not receive chemotherapy. Conditional logistic regression shared‐frailty Cox were used assess (ICU hospital) mortality death by 12 months after hospital discharge, respectively. RESULTS One hundred eighty‐one ICU. rates 25%...
Recent evidence suggests that outcomes do not meaningfully differ between thoracic surgery patients who are ventilated with a low or higher tidal volume and the effects of versus positive end-expiratory pressure unclear.
ABSTRACT Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare soft-tissue condition with high mortality rate even treatment. Diagnosis challenging due to an absence of specific symptoms at the early stages clinical presentation. NF typically associated traumatic injuries, superficial skin breakdown, and surgical procedures. Diabetes mellitus immunosuppression also increase risk developing NF. predominantly occurs in lower extremities, peritoneum, perineum. Treatments include antimicrobials, supportive care,...
Excessive decrease in the flow of late expiratory portion a volume loop (FVL) or “flattening”, reflects small airway dysfunction. The assessment flattening is currently determined by visual inspection pulmonary function test (PFT) interpreters and highly variable. In this study, we developed an objective measure to quantify flattening. We downloaded 172 PFT reports PDF format from electronic medical records digitized extracted FVL. located point A (the peak flow), B corresponding 75% vital...
Purpose To investigate the intent of, and reason for, administration of oncologic therapies in intensive care unit (ICU). Methods Single center, retrospective, cohort study patients with cancer who received at a tertiary center ICU between April 1, 2019 March 31, 2020. Oncologic included traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, hormonal or biologic therapy directed malignancy were characterized as initiation (initial administration) continuation (part an ongoing...
Many patients who recover from COVID-19 have symptoms that persist long after the acute phase of disease has subsided, including fatigue and dyspnea on exertion. There is an unmet need for understanding diverse cardiac pulmonary causes these to monitor longitudinally. We imaged N=6 subjects with long-haul COVID using both MRI hyperpolarized 129 Xe spectroscopy. While imaging did not reveal structural or functional abnormalities, we observed a wide variety findings MRI, had been hospitalized...
Introduction: Obese and supermorbidly obese patients present challenges in peri-operative management. Issues which are particularly salient include VTE atelectasis as well oversedation due to narcotics. By recruiting a motivated cadre of willing participate strict protocols, anesthesia post-operative morbidity was minimized. Methods: A retrospective chart review all morbidly at single institution having laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy from Jan 2010 Jun 2013. Protocol compliance prevent...
