To compare lung reaeration measured by bedside chest radiography, computed tomography, and ultrasound in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia treated antibiotics.Computed were performed before (day 0) 7 days following initiation of antibiotics.A 26-bed multidisciplinary intensive care unit La Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital (University Paris-6).: Thirty critically ill studied over the first 10 developing pneumonia.: Antibiotic administration.Computed tomography was as additional volume...
<h3>Importance</h3> Growing interest in microbial dysbiosis during critical illness has raised questions about the therapeutic potential of microbiome modification with probiotics. Prior randomized trials this population suggest that probiotics reduce infection, particularly ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), although probiotic-associated infections have also been reported. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate effect of<i>Lactobacillus rhamnosus</i>GG on preventing VAP, additional infections,...
BACKGROUND: Few diagnostic tools are available to anesthesiologists when confronted with intraoperative hypoxemia. Lung ultrasonography is a safe and accurate bedside imaging modality. The aim of this study was evaluate the feasibility lung during perioperative period assess its ability detect respiratory complications oxygenation changes resulting from atelectasis. METHODS: In prospective observational pilot study, 30 consecutive patients scheduled for laparoscopic surgery were recruited....
The objective of this study was to assess the frequency, type, and severity perioperative complications after a first surgery under general anesthesia in patients with myotonic dystrophy (DM) measure association suspected risk factors. Numerous cases DM have been reported. Hazards associated use thiopentone, suxamethonium, neostigmine, halothane. A retrospective conducted for 219 who had their at Chicoutimi Hospital. overall frequency 8.2% (18 219). Most (16 18) were pulmonary, including...
Abstract Background Data on postoperative outcomes of the COVID-19 patient population is limited. We described patients who underwent a surgery and pandemic impact surgical activities. Methods conducted multicenter cohort study between March 13 June 192,020. included all in nine centres Province Québec, Canadian province most afflicted by pandemic. also concomitant suspected (subsequently confirmed not to have COVID-19) had recovered from it. collected data baseline characteristics,...
Postoperative pulmonary complications increase mortality, length, and cost of hospitalization. A better diaphragmatic strength may help face an increased work breathing postoperatively. We, therefore, sought to determine if a low preoperative diaphragm thickening fraction (TFdi) determined by ultrasonography helped predict the occurrence postoperative after cardiac surgery independently indicators frailty, sarcopenia, function.Prospective observational cohort study.Montreal Heart Institute,...
Background: Nintedanib (formerly known as BIBF 1120) is an intracellular inhibitor that targets multiple tyrosine kinases.
Background. Liver transplant recipients suffer many postoperative complications. Few studies evaluated the effects of fluid management on these We conducted an observational cohort study to evaluate association between intraoperative balance and acute kidney injury (AKI) other Methods. included consecutive adult liver who had their surgery July 2008 December 2017. Our exposure was balance, our primary outcome grade AKI at 48 hours after surgery. secondary outcomes were 7 days, need for renal...
Mechanical ventilation is a common therapy in operating rooms and intensive care units. When ill-adapted, it can lead to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), which associated with poor outcomes. Excessive regional pulmonary strain thought be major mechanism responsible for VILI. Scarce bedside methods exist measure strain. We propose novel way pleural using ultrasound elastography. The objective of this study was assess the feasibility reliability measurement by elastography determine if...
