Mechanical ventilation can be a life-saving intervention, but its implementation requires multidisciplinary approach, with an understanding of indications and contraindications due to the potential for complications. The management mechanical should part curricula during clinical training; however, trainees practicing professionals frequently report low confidence in managing ventilation, often seeking additional sources knowledge. Review articles, consensus statements practice guidelines...
The global incidence of critical illness has been steadily increasing, resulting in higher mortality rates thereby presenting substantial challenges for clinical management. Among these conditions, sepsis stands out as the leading cause illness, underscoring urgent need continued research to enhance patient care and deepen our understanding its complex pathophysiology. Lymphocytes play a pivotal role both innate adaptive immune responses, acting key regulators balance between...
Different research designs have various advantages and limitations inherent to their main characteristics. Knowledge of the proper use each design is great importance understanding applicability findings clinical epidemiology. In intensive care, a hierarchical classification can often be misleading if characteristics in this context are not understood. One must therefore alert common problems randomized trials systematic reviews/meta-analyses that address issues related care critically ill patient.
OBJECTIVE: To define the epidemiological profile and main determinants of morbidity mortality in noncardiac high surgical risk patients Brazil. METHODS: This was a prospective, observational multicenter study. All admitted to intensive care units, i.e., those considered risk, within 1-month period were evaluated monitored daily for maximum 7 days unit determine complications. The 28-day postoperative, hospital rates evaluated. RESULTS: Twenty-nine units participated Surgeries performed...
Ketamine has bronchodilation properties. The aim of the single-centre, evaluator-blinded, randomised clinical trial study was to evaluate whether continuous infusion ketamine is associated with improvement in respiratory mechanics correlated bronchospasm relief, as compared fentanyl.Adult patients submitted invasive mechanical ventilation were included if they had an acute severe bronchospasm, due status asthmaticus or COPD exacerbation. They a standard IV analgesia fentanyl, both bolus and...
Abdominal X-rays, the diagnostic method for enteral feeding tube (EFT) positioning, are a source of irradiation patients and carry potential risk adverse effects. Data related to ultrasound (US)-guided EFT placement scarce. We evaluated 41 with insertions guidewire in place that was maintained until US examination. detected 38 proper positioning 3 inadequate sensitivity 97% (95% CI 84.9–99.8%) specificity 100% 19.7–100%). The assessment position through abdominal is practical safe,...
Respiratory monitoring of mechanical ventilation (MV) is relevant and challenging in COVID-19. Mechanical power (MP) a novel promising tool acute distress respiratory syndrome (ARDS), representing the amount energy transferred from ventilator to patient. It encompasses several setting parameters patient-dependent variables that could cause lung injury. MP can therefore be an additional assessment these patients.This study aims evaluate through its relationship with mortality patients...
