During the shutdown of CERN Large Hadron Collider in 2013-2014, an additional pixel layer was installed between existing Pixel detector ATLAS experiment and a new, smaller radius beam pipe. The motivation for this new layer, Insertable B-Layer (IBL), to maintain or improve robustness performance tracking system, given higher instantaneous integrated luminosities realised following shutdown. Because extreme radiation collision rate environment, several radiation-tolerant sensor electronic...
The ATLAS collaboration will upgrade its semiconductor pixel tracking detector with a new Insertable B-layer (IBL) between the existing and vacuum pipe of Large Hadron Collider. extreme operating conditions at this location have necessitated development radiation hard sensor technologies front-end readout chip, called FE-I4. Planar sensors 3D been investigated to equip layer, prototype modules using FE-I4A fabricated characterized 120 GeV pions CERN SPS 4 positrons DESY, before after module...
Despite evidence demonstrating improved safety with ultrasound-guided placement of central venous catheters (CVC) in comparison the use anatomical landmarks, ultrasound guidance is still not routinely used by all physicians when obtaining access.We report data pertaining to long-term CVCs a 7-year period before and after was introduced. We included 3951 procedures (total 1,642,402 catheter days) our study: 1584 using landmark method (landmark group, January 2000 May 2003), 2367 (ultrasound...
Abstract Background Since the first outbreak of a respiratory illness caused by H1N1 virus in Mexico, several reports have described need intensive care or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) assistance young and often healthy patients. Here we describe our experience H1N1-induced ARDS using both ventilation strategy ECMO assistance. Methods Following Italian Ministry Health instructions, an Emergency Service was established at Careggi Teaching Hospital (Florence, Italy) for novel...
To describe the organization of an ECMO-centre from triage by telephone to phase inter-hospital transportation with ECMO patients affected H1N1-induced ARDS, describing techniques and equipment used. From September 2009 January 2010, 18 ARDS were referred our other hospitals. Six had contraindications treatment remained in local hospital. Twelve transported centre included this study. Four on (Group A) eight conventional ventilation B). The groups compared basis adverse events during...
Background: We evaluated the impact of noninvasive respiratory support (NRS) and invasive mechanical ventilation duration before venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) on weaning from ECMO survival. Methods: In a retrospective single-center study, we studied subjects with COVID-19 ARDS treated VV-ECMO. The were divided analyzed according to cut-off NRS, ventilation, total support. Results: identified NRS 4 days, 5 8 days. Weaning VV-ECMO was observed in 63% (15/24) ≤ days...
Abstract Background Incidence of Blunt Cerebrovascular Injuries (BCVI) after head injury has been reported as 0.5-1% all admissions for blunt trauma, with a high stroke and mortality rate. The purpose this study is to evaluate if modification Memphis criteria could improve the rate BCVI diagnosis. Methods Trauma patients consecutively admitted Intensive Care Unit (ICU) from Jan 2008 Oct 2009 were considered study. comprehend: basilar skull fracture involvement carotid canal, cervical spine...
Objectives Out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is worldwide quite a common disease, whose mortality still remains high. We aimed at assessing the number potential donors after OHCA in tertiary center with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECPR) and uncontrolled donation circulatory death (uDCD) programs. Methods In our single center, prospective, observational study (June 2016 to December 2018), we included all consecutive patients aged or less 65 years. Results Our series 134 patients....
Critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy (CIPNM) is a frequent neurological manifestation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. CIPNM diagnosis usually limited to clinical evaluation. We compared ARDS COVID-19 other aetiologies, whom neurophysiological evaluation for the detection of was performed. The aim determine if there were any differences between these two groups frequency CINPM outcome at discharge...
Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have been indicated as treatment for acute respiratory and/or cardiac failure. Here we describe our first year experience of in-hospital ECLS activity, the operative algorithm protocol centralization adult patients from district hospitals.At a tertiary referral trauma center (Careggi Teaching Hospital, Florence, Italy), an program was developed 2008 by Emergency Department Heart Vessel ICUs. The team consists...
Abstract Heart transplantation rates are limited by a shortage of donor hearts, and left ventricular dysfunction is an important cause. We hypothesized that early echocardiographic evaluation in severe brain injury (performed within 12 hours from ICU admission) could allow the detection potentially reversible ( LV ) abnormalities thus initiation tailored treatment whose effects be assessed at second echocardiogram performed when death develops. this hypothesis 49 patients with who were...
Organ availability represents a key factor in transplants due to an almost universal shortage of deceased donors.We present the case 41-year-old patients with severe polytrauma, where extracorporeal life support (ECLS) allowed brain death (BD) declaration and multiorgan retrieval transplantation.Organ procurement is utmost importance for transplant procedures. The presented could rise ethical doubts as ECLS be viewed tool organ preservation instead patient support. Nonetheless, it obvious...
Abstract Introduction The choice of optimal treatment in traumatic brain injured (TBI) patients is a challenge. aim this study was to verify the neurological outcome severe TBI treated with decompressive craniectomy (early < 24 h, late > h), compared conservative treatment, hospital and after 6-months. Methods A total 186 admitted ICU Emergency Department tertiary referral center (Careggi Teaching Hospital, Florence, Italy) from 2005 through 2009 were retrospectively studied. Patients...
Measurement of skin temperature can be used as an indicator sympathetic blockade induced by neuraxial anaesthesia. The aim the study was to test response epidural administration bupivacaine and different concentrations ropivacaine. Forty-eight ASA class I-II patients undergoing herniorraphy were enrolled into a prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial. Patients randomly allocated receive anaesthesia with single dose 18 ml 0.5% (n=16); ropivacaine (n=16), or 0.75% (n=16). A probe...
