Objectives: To assess the feasibility and safety of a conservative approach to oxygen therapy in mechanically ventilated ICU patients. Design: Pilot prospective before-and-after study. Setting: A 22-bed multidisciplinary tertiary care hospital Australia. Patients: total 105 adult (18 years old or older) patients required mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours: 51 during "conventional" before period 54 after change "conservative" therapy. Interventions: Implementation (target SpO2...
Objective: To study the effect of stress hyperlactatemia on association between hyperglycemia and mortality. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional observation study. Setting: Three ICUs using arterial blood gases with simultaneous glucose lactate measurements during ICU stay. Patients: Cohort 7,925 consecutive critically ill patients. Interventions: None. Measurements Main Results: We analyzed 152,349 lactate. performed multivariable analysis to different metrics hospital On day 1, first (p...
Frailty may help to predict intensive care unit (ICU) patient outcome. The Dalhousie Clinical Scale (DCFS) is validated assess frailty in ambulatory settings but has not been investigated Australian ICUs. We conducted a prospective three-month study of patients admitted tertiary level ICU. Within 24 hours ICU admission, the next kin or nurse charge assigned DCFS score patient. Data were obtained association between and was completed 205 348 (59%) eligible admissions. mean 3.2 (±1.6). Overall...
To assess the feasibility, biochemical efficacy, and safety of liberal versus conventional glucose control in ICU patients with diabetes.Prospective, open-label, sequential period study.A 22-bed mixed a tertiary hospital Australia.We compared 350 consecutive diabetes admitted over 15 months who received preintervention population control.Liberal insulin therapy if was greater than 14 mmol/L (target: 10-14 [180-252 mg/dL]). Conventional 10 6-10 [108-180 mg/dL]).We assessed separation blood...
Objectives: To assess the feasibility, safety, and impact on relative hypoglycemia of liberal versus conventional blood glucose concentration targets in critically ill diabetic patients. Design: Prospective, open-label, sequential-period exploratory study. Setting: A 22-bed multidisciplinary ICU a tertiary care hospital Australia. Patients: Eighty adult patients, 40 from before period after period. Interventions: Blood were 6–10 mmol/L during 10–14 Measurements Main Results: We used...
SUMMARY An observational study was conducted to describe the epidemiology of bacteriuria and candiduria in intensive care unit (ICU), occurrence blood stream infection (BSI) associated with ICU-acquired positive urine culture. Between 2006 2011, 444 episodes either or defined by culture (microorganisms ⩾10 5 c.f.u./ml) occurred 406 patients. Three hundred seventy-seven (85%) were hospital-acquired including 221 which (6·4 ± 0·8 episodes/1000 ICU days). Escherichia coli most common bacteria...
TEG6S® and TEG5000® (Haemonetics Corp, USA) are haemostasis analysers that measure viscoelasticity properties of whole blood. Both use different mechanisms to assess similar components the coagulation process. The aim this study was agreement interchangeability between TEG6S TEG5000 analysers. 3.5 mL blood collected from 25 adult patients in a tertiary intensive care unit (ICU). Analysis performed using haemostatic platforms. Agreement platforms measured Lin's concordance coefficient (Lin's...
