Intense debate exists regarding the optimal energy and protein intake for intensive care unit (ICU) patients. However, most studies use predictive equations, demonstrated to be inaccurate target intake. We sought examine outcome of a large cohort ICU patients in relation percent administered calories divided by resting expenditure (% AdCal/REE) obtained indirect calorimetry (IC) Included were hospitalized from 2003 2015 at 16-bed university affiliated, tertiary hospital, had IC measurement...
Abstract Background The aim of this multicentre prospective observational study was to identify the incidence, patient characteristics, diagnostic pathway, management and outcome acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI). Methods All adult patients with clinical suspicion AMI admitted or transferred 32 participating hospitals from 06.06.2022 05.04.2023 were included. Participants who subsequently shown not have had localized intestinal gangrene due strangulating bowel obstruction only baseline data...
Bloodstream infections are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Early, appropriate antibiotic therapy is important, but the duration of treatment uncertain.
It is currently uncertain whether early administration of protein improves patient outcomes. We examined mortality rates critically ill patients receiving compared to late administration. This was a retrospective cohort study mixed ICU enteral or parenteral nutritional support. Patients >0.7 g/kg/d within the first 3 days were considered group and those less group. The latter subdivided into late-low (LL) who received low intake (<0.7 g/kg/d) throughout their stay late-high (LH) higher...
Frailty is a state of high vulnerability to adverse health outcomes. It an important factor influencing the prognosis older, critically ill patients. Several methods assess frailty were evaluated in critical care setting. The Pictorial Fit-Frail Scale (PFFS) validated quick and easy-to-use tool for assessment. takes < 5 min fill by patient or caregiver; it requires no clinical examination medical staff. This study use PFFS intensive unit (ICU). A single-center retrospective study, performed...
Background: In the fifth wave of COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare personnel absenteeism increased. Hospitals called on students to volunteer. This study aimed a) examine motivations and experiences nursing in their volunteering during pandemic b) propose a model for developing volunteer program emergencies. Methods: this qualitative study, 20 who volunteered at hospital underwent an in-depth interview. Results: Personal professional values contributed student’s participation. Most stated that...
Indirect calorimetry (IC) measurement is considered the gold standard for assessment of resting energy expenditure (REE). It based on oxygen and carbon dioxide consumption (VO
Background: Cycle ergometry (CE) is a method of exercise used in clinical practice. Limited data demonstrate its effectiveness critically ill patients. We aimed to evaluate the combination CE and high-protein diet Methods: This was an open label pilot trial comparing conventional physiotherapy with enteral nutrition (EN) (control, Group 1), EN (Group 2), protein-enriched 3). The primary outcome length ventilation (LOV). Secondary outcomes were intensive care unit (ICU) mortality, ICU stay...
COVID-19 patients are oftentimes over- or under-treated due to a deficit in predictive management tools. This study reports derivation of an algorithm that integrates the host levels TRAIL, IP-10, and CRP into single numeric score is early indicator severe outcome for can identify at-risk deteriorate. 394 were eligible; 29% meeting (intensive care unit admission/non-invasive invasive ventilation/death). The score's area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.86, superior...
Nutritional therapy is essential to ICU care. Successful early enteral feeding hindered by lack of protocols, gastrointestinal intolerance and interruptions, leading impaired nutritional intake. smART+ was developed as a nutrition management platform controlling tube positioning, reflux, gastric pressure, malnutrition. This study evaluated the potential this new care deliver targeted improve outcomes.Critically ill patients ≥18 years-old, mechanically ventilated enterally fed, were...
Background & aimsEnteral nutrition (EN) and parenteral (PN) enriched with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have beneficial effects in critical illness. This study aimed to assess the combined effect of EN supplemental PN PUFA on blood oxygenation intensive care unit (ICU) patients.MethodsSingle-center, prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind, phase III trial conducted from 10/2013 11/2017. A total 100 ICU patients (18–85 years, APACHE II score > 15) requiring mechanical...
Background and Objective: Israeli law mandates chronic ventilator support for children adolescents who are severely brain impaired show minimal responses. Feeding protocols in these cases have been based on the caloric requirements of healthy children, deducting calories lack activity as well an individual adjustment according to cerebral palsy growth curves. However, patients still inclined gain excessive weight. Our objective was determine patients. Design Method: Sixteen hospitalized a...
<i>Background:</i> Complementary bedside lung monitoring modalities are often sought in order to assist the differentiation between several opacities intensive care unit (ICU). <i>Objectives:</i> To evaluate use of computerized acoustic as a complementary approach various chest radiographic densities critically ill patients. <i>Methods:</i> Lung vibration intensity was assessed 82 patients using response imaging. Patients were classified according their...
